Artist makes his drawings leap off the page
The amazing drawings are a trick of the mind created by Italian designer Alessandro Diddi, 42. His clever 3-D drawings are achieved by a trick of the mind.
dailymail.co.uk'I want my drawings to put across the message that the eye can trick the mind and make you believe that there are dimensions that are not really there,' said Mr Diddi.
Using his own hands and objects to make the drawings appear even more life-like, they appear to show two men using their strength to pull a pencil out of the artist's hand, as well as a snake slithering away as its being drawn.
