Hello,
My name is "Grease" and this is my first Instructable.
I would like to "Thank You" for stopping by.
Have you ever seen the 3D Anamorphic pictures that Julian Beever has drawn on the sidewalks, streets and driveways
.
Well, this is my version of doing it, on printed paper, from your computer.
I did do a chalk drawing of the lighter.
You will have to go to step 8, to see all the pictures.
It is pretty simple to do.
I did all my artwork in Coreldraw X3.
Any Vector program would work.
I used a cigarette lighter, as the artwork.
Take a second and make sure and give me a VOTE!t;
I think it worked out quite well!
If you want to learn my technique,
please proceed on...
Can YOU tell which is the REAL lighter??

Signing UpStep 1The GRID
The first thing I did was draw the grids as shown below.
I drew the blue grid first.
Then I added perspective to the blue grid and turned it into a black grid.
(you could trace over my grids)
In Coreldraw X3 I used the Add Perspective Effect.

Congratulations to your job! That's really good!
And I would like to thank you, because you helped me a lot, cause I didn't know that how can I draw the first few steps.
I like your other pictures too! :)
Good luck on the drawings and post a picture when you do one!!
Would love to see it!
Ofcourse, when I'm ready, I will show you :)
Great write up by the way!
Please post pictures!
And give me a vote!
thanks...
1. How to do this (perspective) thing with Illustrator/Photoshop?
2. Please describe the 3D & Grid part.
3. How should I photograph or art on a paper to do this? and
4. How should I calculate the distance?
It would be a great help if you give me the answers.
I really liked your work, both this one and the Tatoo
Thanks.
1. How to do this (perspective) thing with Illustrator/Photoshop?
I am not sure, as I do not own Photoshop, but I am sure it can be done.
Look in the help menu.
2. Please describe the 3D & Grid part.
Please see step numbers 2 and 3. Pretty self explanatory.
3. How should I photograph or art on a paper to do this?
Use a tripod, will not work without a tripod.
4. How should I calculate the distance?
If 1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y,
then x = ?
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
4. If 1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(
There is no formula!

I turned it into my weekend project, check it out at: http://scarreddot.carbonmade.com/projects/3167600#1
Keep it up!
-On a sidenote, does anyone know a better place to get black chalk other than out of a 52 count crayola sidewalk chalk.
GREAT job!
Fantastic, I love it!
Post some more!!Oh, on the chalk.
Best place to get chalk online is:

BEST chalk around, they have a big color selection too!
There black is BLACK!
Good luck!
Make sure and give me a vote!

I will look like it is the same height, with the perspective..
The perspective should be correct, no matter what size you make it!
Hope this helps.
That would work, also...
Can you just e-mail me the picture alone.
The higher the resolution the better!

What do you call that?
Walking cane?
Did you use a carpenter's chalk line to do the grid on the sidewalk? I would think that would be the fastest way to create the grid, if you're going to use chalk to do it. Maybe fill it with a lighter color of chalk, I wouldn't use the colors that are made for carpentry to do the grid.
But, I am sure that would work.
I just used a very long straight board!
Glad you like it, post a picture if they do a drawing, would love to see it!
Thanks for the kind comments, too!
When you are done with the drawing, I find if you use a wet cotton rag, (not drenched), you can clean up the chalk lines.
I recently (today, lol ) uploaded a video with the soda can :)

nice one, :D
you have any ideas for an illusion like the perspective one?
or maybe one thats a little different :)
please tell me :D
I lost a bit of inspiration xD
Have a nice day :D
Do I want credit, for teaching you?
Why sure..
Just a link to my instructable, would be fine.
Have a great day!
