The Illusion of Confusion

Illusions can be downright freaky at times. Here's a tutorial on a baffling perspective illusion! This drawing is hard to believe until the proof is shown.

There is no way that the 2 thick, black lines are the same height, right? Let's look a little further into it and see.

Here's a video that showcases and explains the full effect of the illusion:

Step 1 Materials

You will need:

1) A piece of 8.5 x 11 paper(cut to 8.5" x 8.5")
2) Ruler
3) Pen
4) Two crayons or colored pencils(preferably orange and yellow)
