Ancient Illusion Art

My name is Poongodi, i am always love to draw art. To know more about historical art, I was visited various tourist places and olden temples in India and saw the amazing art and sculpture work of our ancestors. While seeing those things really made me impress. Particularly the sculpture in Airavatesvara Temple in Kumbakonam, Tamilnadu. The Sculpture it represents can be seen as either an elephant or a bull, an ancient example of ambiguous brain teaser. Based on that i draw the sculpture in the form of art.

• Pencil
  • Chart Paper
    • Color Pencil and sketch

Pencil outline draw of Bull and Elephant. Just a freehand sketch

Here you know how to draw the internal part of bull and elephant.

Final touch of shades and coloring. You can try your own color. Here i am using the color pencil to color the bull and elephant.

In the illusion art, once you close the right side in your hand you can see the bull image in left side. Similarly, close the hand in left part then you can see the elephant image clearly. The art looks like the illusion based on the view of the person.

Hope that you also inspire to see the illusion in the art.

Thanks.
