Optical Illusions Art Collection

Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - Pool

This is an amazing optical illusion picture of a woman swimming in the pool, sipping her coke. Check out the artist as he is just about to jump right into the painting!

Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - Artist!!!

This could certainly be the best self portrait I have ever seen. I just can't imagine how long it took the artist to figure out exactly how to do this in perspective. It would have been great to see this art exibit in person!

Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - Sony Laptop

Check out this chalk drawing of a Sony Laptop computer. Doesn't it look like the top part of the screen is just jumping off the pavement? Nicely done.

Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - Dead Fly

Is that guy spraying chalk fixative onto that fly... or is it raid? That's pretty incredible, but I think you'll find that some of the other artists captured the optical illusion even more!

Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - The Seal

Out of all these sidwalk chalk drawings on this optical illusions website, this one is my favorite. Although the seal doesn't look incredibly realistic, it sure looks like it is popping up out of the water handing the artist a fresh soda after what I'm sure were days of hard work.

Amusing illusions

Twisting and Turning Spiral!!!As your eyes relax and move around the different places on this magical spiral, you'll see that it twists and turns in front of you. In addition, it appears to flash very quickly . Doesn't it appear as if you are about to go into a hypnotic trance as you look into the eye that knows all?

Weird Impossible Shape Illusion!!!

Here is yet another impossible shape. As always, you'll notice that the shading ads to the effect of this optical illusion. Here's a quick memory test: Take 30 seconds to look at this optical illusion, then look away from the screen and try to draw this optical illusion on paper. It's pretty tough unless you have a photographic memory!

She Looks at You???

Keep staring. This is one scary optical illusion. Keep looking, it might take up to a minute, but it'll look like she's opened her ghoulish eyes and is staring right at your soul! Aaaaaaa!

Impossible illusions

Impossible Block Shape!!!

Here is another example of an impossible shape. Study this optical illusion picture for a few moments and then try to draw it. It's fairly easy to draw and might help those classes, business meetings, or even your spare time go a little faster. Notice the shading in this illusion that helps give it the 3-d shape, but it isn't drawn in perfect perspective, all the angles are exactly the same, otherwise the center block would not line up!

Impossible Shape!!!

This is a perfect example of an optical illusion that can be drawn. It's another shape in the optical illusions collection that will twist and turn in your mind. The three dots will appear to be inside the object if you scan it from left to right, but then they'll appear to be on the outside of this impossible shape if you scan it with your eyes from the right to left!

What's a illusions

Dragon Face Optical Illusion Art!!!

At first, your mind will usually recognize the face in this optical illusion painting, but if you look at the woman's hair, you'll see that it's alive with another woman on a horse fighting a fire-breathing dragon. Do you see anything else happening in this opticial illusion art painting?

Say the colors brain teaser!!!

This is quite a tough brain teaser. As quickly as you can, say the COLOR of each word above. Don't just read the colors, say the actual color that the word is typed in. It demonstrates a conflict between your left brain - words and your right brain - colors and creativity. After practicing a few times it gets easier!

How many shelves to do you see???

How many shelves do you see in this eye trick picture? Look to the right and you'll see three shelves, look to the left and you'll see four shelves! So where are you going to put your pictures?

Scary Optical Illusion!!!

This is quite possibly the scariest optical illusion! Do you see some women looking at themselves in a mirror... or is it the devil staring right out at you! Definately a scary optical illusion right out of a haunted house or a horror movie! Boo!

Ambiguous Bird or Boat???

Take a look at these pictures. Although it's not quite an optical illusion, you'll still find it quite amusing. Is it a man just taking it easy on a boat, doing some fishing... or has a GIANT bird attacked someone and their hands are up in the air as they scream out!

Donkey or Seal !!!

Simple, yet effective. At first, you will most likely see a donkey, but with a little closer examination you'll find that this ambigious optical illusion also looks like a seal, with its flippers where the donkey's ears are!

Shading Fades Away Illusion!!!

Stare at the center of the black dot for about 20 seconds. After a little while, you'll notice that the outside of the circle - the shaded area - starts to lose definition, and even becomes a solid color. Or, your eyes may notice that the shading shrinks and isn't even perceptible after a minute or so.

This is quite a weird optical illusion! And it only becomes more convincing the longer you stare at the black dot, so you must be patient!

Going Up or Down?

This is a fun optical illusion picture to look at because it constantly playes with your mind. What I like best about this picture is the artist didn't simply paint a picture of an optical illusion, but it is quite an interesting picture in and of itself! If you notice, you'll see that the person on the left is trying to fix the wall which has crumbled with time. They also seem to be painting the columns on the right. This is one of the best optical illusion art examples.

Perfect Squares!!!

Move your head close to the screen. Do the perfect blue squares appear to be distorted? Absolutely... this is due to the black lines in the back moving and twisting it in your mind. What an eye trick!

More cool illusions

Jazz Lady Illusion!!!

This optical illusion looks like the face of a beautiful woman, but it also looks like a cartoon of a man playing some music on his saxaphone. If you can't see it, the man with the Sax is facing the right, and his big nose is the shadow or hair on the woman's face.

If you wonder how someone can come up with an eye trick like this, the first thing to do is just look a drawing that you already have, and in your mind just imagine that it could be something else. Kind of like when you look at clouds. Then, redraw the picture so that it looks even more like that subject.

Rabbit or Duck???

Tilt your head to the right, and you'll see a duck. Then turn your head to the left and you'll see a bunny rabbit. Because of the simplicity, I really admire the artist for capturing exactly what they needed to - and nothing more. Wouldn't this make a good corporate logo for someing like Rabbit Brand Duck Tape?

Again Rabbit or Duck???

Not the cutest duck in the world, but the illusion is strong anyway. The duck looks to the left and the rabbit looks to the right. Quite an eye trick if you look at it for awhile, you'll see it switches back and forth in your mind. It is usually tough for people to perceive both at the same time. Try it, look at the rabbit and try to see the duck at the same time. Even though you know that the rabbit's ears form the duck's bill, our minds perceive it strictly as one way or the other.

Very cool illusions

Man or Woman???

Do you see the man or woman? Or do you see both? Or are there THREE people in this picture. If you are missing it, the man is the brown moustache. The woman is looking to the left and you can see here eye and nose protrude from the left part of the image. There is also another face - the woman's chin is the nose for this third face, and the wrinkle in the womans neck is the mouth.

Now the next time you are at your local shopping mall, and you see a person that you just aren't sure if it is a man or woman, just remember this fun drawing and as you are trying to figure it out, remember that at least it's not as ambigious as this picture is!

Face or Person

The face is usually the first thing that you see, then if you look a little longer, you see what appears to be a bundled up woman doing some window shopping. Or is it an eskimo painting their igloo?
