On asphalt or paper, every novice artist can do it. To do this, you need to follow simple tips.
How to learn to draw 3d drawings for beginners
To become a 3D artist, try to learn how to draw simple three-dimensional figures. It is ideal to start with trying to draw a cube, a ball, a pyramid, a star, a cylinder, a cone.
To make a three-dimensional 3d picture, carefully study the shape of the depicted object, all its bulges and depressions. See how the light falls. Certain parts of the figure are quite dark, while others are exposed to bright light, and they give bright highlights. Do not forget that any object gives a shadow.
Learning to draw 3D is best done with simple pencils with different hardness. To do this, it is better to purchase a special set. Soft pencils give darker and thicker lines, hard ones draw thinner and lighter. Also, to obtain a three-dimensional image, it is necessary to strengthen and weaken the pressure on the pencil where necessary.
How to draw 3d drawings on paper
Make a printout on a color printer. To make the picture clearer, it is advisable to use laser models and photographic paper.
Drawings in 3d on asphalt are painted with spray paints or colored crayons.
The difficulty in using the first is to find a large number of shades you need. And it’s quite difficult to learn how to draw 3d drawings on asphalt correctly with spray cans. To spray the paint in thinner streams, you can use an airbrush.
We have already talked about interesting artists more than once: about Brandon McConnell, who paints futuristic paintings with spray cans, about Scott Wade, who draws on dusty car windows, about Ben Hine, who combined pencil drawings with photography. Today we will talk about such an art form as drawing 3D pictures on asphalt. One of the most virtuoso artists in this field - Edgar Muller. In this article, 8 of his largest 3D paintings on asphalt.
Edgar Müller was born in Mülhelm on the Ruhr (Germany) in 1968. From an early age, Edgar was fond of painting. At the age of 16, he first took part in the competition of street artists, but did not take a prize there. Edgar Muller remained positive and continued to hone his skills.
At the age of 19, he won an international street art competition in which he painted Caravaggio's famous painting Supper at Emmaus. Below you see this picture.
At the age of 25, Müller decided to devote himself entirely to painting on the streets. He traveled all over Europe to earn his living and perfect his art.
Recently Edgar Muller opened his studio, where he teaches followers his art. The master also conducts seminars in various schools and takes part in various art festivals. Well, let's move on to his work.
1. Edgar Muller created his first large-size painting on the street of Moose-Jo (Canada). In the summer of 2007, an art festival was held there. With the help of local artists, Edgar transformed an ordinary street into a huge river ending in a waterfall. The total volume of the painted surface was 280 square meters.
And a few photos that show what the drawing is like, if you look at it from the wrong side.
2. Muller painted the second of his large-scale 3D paintings in the city of Geldern (Germany) at a celebration dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the art of drawing on the streets. This picture is an illusion with a huge crack in the ground where lava comes out.
The creation of this picture required assistants who, together with Edgar Muller, painted for 5 days for 12 hours. The total volume of the painted surface was 250 square meters. Impressive?
3. The following painting by Edgar Muller was created in Dun Leary (Ireland) at the World Culture Festival, which was held in August 2008. This picture was called "Ice Age in Ireland".
It took 5 days to create, as in the previous case. 5 assistants helped Edgar. The total volume of the painted surface was 260 square meters.
And here's what it looks like from the other side.
We found a video from the artist, which shows how the painting process went. We invite you to take a look.
4. Edgar painted the fourth 3D painting on asphalt in London in March 2009. As usual, it took Edgar 5 days to create this 3D illusion.
And here is the picture from the back.
5. Edgar Muller liked the theme of the caves so much that he decided to continue drawing them. In the city of Geldern in Germany, in early August 2009, an international street art festival was held. Edgar was drawing a second cave.
6. Immediately after the end of the festival in Germany, Edgar went to the city of Ptuj (Slovenia). 5 days after his arrival, another cave appeared on the streets of the city.
7. Many people are probably familiar with this work by Edgar Muller, because he painted it in Moscow. Muller worked for several days at a time when all of Moscow was in smoke from forest fires. It took three days to work.
We offer you to watch a short report on this topic, which says how much money Edgar received for his work.
8. And the last eighth picture, created just the other day (October 25-30). Edgar Muller brings novelty to his paintings. This work is unique - one picture during the day, another at night. Edgar called his new project "Save Me". What happened to him - look.
Here's what passers-by see at night.
Drawings on the pavement, made in the technique of 3D photos, videos are simply amazing with their realism and the illusion of volume. Only a truly talented artist can complete a work of this complexity. After all, for this it is necessary to master the technique of seeing perspectives, to know all the conditions for constructing a composition and to be able to do a lot more in order to get the coolest pictures 3D drawings on asphalt. I was always amazed by these unusual, one might say magical pictures, when absolutely voluminous scenes suddenly appear on a flat surface, this cannot leave you indifferent. Moreover, these images are so realistic and similar to reality that a certain respect for the master who painted this miracle arises automatically.
The technique of creating a picture of 3D drawings on asphalt is very complex, not every person, even those with certain abilities in the field of fine arts, will be able to create such masterpieces. Here, at first glance, you can feel the hand of a talented craftsman, a professional in his field and simply a brilliant artist. 3D drawings on the pavement amaze any person with their realism, it is not for nothing that many people try to keep these pictures as a keepsake, and of course, to take pictures against the background of this miracle. You have to see such things with your own eyes, photography is certainly wonderful, but everything looks live with even greater interest and enthusiasm. True, we have few similar images in Russia, at least I have not seen such a miracle in any city in the country, but I hope someone will dare and create masterpieces in our homeland. So, let's admire these masterpieces of fine art together and see cool 3D drawings on the asphalt pictures, and at the end of the selection of photos you will find the coolest video - a cat against an inflatable cat.

In this post I will talk about the principles of creating 3d drawings on asphalt and not only on it. The word asphalt means a horizontal plane on which we walk every day, it can be concrete and a wooden base, glass and even sand, yes, yes, now there is such 3d drawing in the sand. It just so happened that we began to call it "on the pavement", apparently because in childhood we said: "Drawing with chalk on asphalt", although they were often painted more on concrete, it is possible that the word concrete does not sound. Abroad in literal translation- 3d street painting in English. 3d street painting.
Many of you who are reading this article are already familiar with this kind of street art from photographs that were found on the Internet, or maybe even one of you saw 3d drawings live, and maybe even tried to create it with his own hands, and for sure the majority wondered, but how street artists seek 3d effect?
I am sure that some of you have already exclaimed: "Chu, what's the secret here!? ... This is an elementary projection of an image onto a plane!" And they will be right. I would clarify that this is a projection + perspective, although of course the concept projections cannot be separated from perspectives are interacting concepts.
So where does work start? 3d drawing? And the work begins, like with all artists, with the definition of the plot and the development of a sketch, which depends on the size of the site on which it will be performed picture. You ask how the plot depends on the size of the site?
To do this, you need to understand that a drawing on asphalt is a projection onto a plane that is at an angle to us and has its own perspective contraction, and if you decide to depict an object that is larger than human growth, suppose an adult bear attacking a person, which will be the subject being photographed, then such picture we will stretch for many meters, this is provided that the height at the point of inspection, from which a person looks at the drawing, is equal to the average height of a person. Therefore, sometimes artists can use a combination of a plane under their feet and a wall, or even two walls, in which three and four planes (floor, ceiling and two walls) are involved - the corner part of the room.
In this image, you can see how the image dimensions change during projection onto a plane by the line of sight. And the sharper the angle of the line of sight to the asphalt plane, the more elongated the drawing will be.
Yes, we knew all this without you, let's move on!
After you have decided on the sketch, you need to transfer it to the plane in our case, asphalt. How to do it?
Some of you have already exclaimed, yes, with the help of a projector! Yes, I will answer, it is possible with the help of a projector, but there is one small condition,pictureyou need to complete within one daylight hours, as this can happen, suppose onfestival, at which the process of using the projector becomes impossible - the projected image is simply not visible in bright light. So how!?...
To do this, I will introduce you a little bit into the course of the subject. perspective and the method of constructing geometric objects in space architect's method. Why geometric? Because first we will need to build a grid in space. This method is more familiar artists and architects relevant educational institutions, although someone came across the basics in the subject of drawing.
From the point of view 3d drawing should look exactly like your sketch.
At the same time, on asphalt, the drawing of an apple will look like this (top view). You can see how the pattern is deformed on a plane, so on 3d drawing or whatever else they call it anamorphic drawing, not to be confused with amorphous! :) you need to look only from one point.
The diagram shows the field of view in humans is approx. 120°
The point of view for the viewer is indicated by such a sign (which I use) or by any other sign that makes it clear to the person that they need to be and shoot exactly here and in this direction. So you need to look for such a sign for a high-quality photo.
A couple of photos to understand how the picture changes in size.
On this a photo
through the camera lens from the designated viewing point.
That's how picture transforming (rear view)
The drawn sewer manhole, which looks from the point of view (where the tripod stands) as a round lying pancake, the width of which is almost twice as long, actually has the shape of an oval elongated in length, which has opposite values - the length is greater than the width.
An example of using two planes for 3d drawing
What does the deformation look like? drawing and from another vantage point.
First you need to set the size of the rectangular area that will capture yourdrawing on asphalt and define perspective scale, namely length and width scale. To do this, on a piece of paper you need to outline the horizon and draw a line H , parallel to the horizon, this line is the edge of the picture plane in our drawing, which we will still reach, on asphalt, this line is the edge of a rectangular grid, which will be divided into squares 50x50 cm in size.
This size is set by the artist arbitrarily, depending on the complexity of the image, according to the principle, the more details, the smaller the squares - for a more accurate determination of the position of the lines in the figure.
We all remember that the horizon passes at the level of a person's eyes, provided that the line of sight of a person looking at this figure is at the same height, that is, roughly speaking, if these figures are of the same height. And of course, if someone is higher or lower, our horizon line changes.
Thus, knowing the height of a person (let's take an average height of 170 cm), we can set the footage on the picture plane, i.e. on the line H.
Next, we draw the center line, which is at an angle of 90°
to the edge of the picture plane, in this case to the line H.
For convenience, I break the meter segments into floors and connect them with a point P on the horizon , thus obtainingvanishing point Pand the scale of the length of the segments, which we have equal to 50 cm.
Now the main thing we need to define width scale or you can say depth scale piece 50cm long. Simply put, we need to determine how visually we will shrink the grid in perspective, laid on the asphalt. I recommend that you initially stock up on a larger paper format for the drawing.
Set the distance to the main viewing point (from which the public will take pictures3d drawing) i.e. to the edge of your drawing (or rather, to the edge of your future grid on asphalt) I set 2 meters, the artist arbitrarily sets the distance that he needs, but I don’t think it makes sense to make it less than 1.5 meters.
On the center line of our drawing, from the edge of the picture plane, what is the line H
, set aside a distance of 2 meters, as a result, getting a segment C
N. This very point N for the further construction of the drawing does not play a role.
Next we need to get the distance point D1 on the horizon, from which the beam will cross the picture plane at an angle of 45 °, at the point c, this will help us determine the vertex of the square. To do this, we set the distance twice the height of the human figure, since the figure is the object from which we are measuring. Why 2 times from the picture plane? The reason is in the device of the human eye, the capture angle in width is greater than in height. For more or less normal, not distorted perception, we need to be at a distance from the object twice its height)
Thus we get a point Q(we won't need it on the site). From main vanishing point P set aside (you can use a compass) a segment equal to PQ on the horizon line, thus obtaining a point D1 and D2, most often it will go beyond a sheet of paper, so the segment PQ divided by 2 to get a point D½ and by four for the dot D¼. Passing a ray through points D1,C we get a straight line that intersects the plane of the picture at an angle of 45 ° in perspective.
Received point B1 segment BPis the vertex of the square, the segmentB,B1-side 50 cm long in perspective.
As I said above, the remote point D1 goes beyond a sheet of paper, for convenience, a cut D1,P divided into four parts and get a point D¼
Using remote point
D¼keep in mind that in this case the rays intersect the side of the square B1,C1
at a different angle (this in prbl. 75° ) to the picture plane. And to find the point of intersection, the segment BC is divided into four equal parts like any other segment on the line of the picture plane, a straight line is drawn from the intersection point to the vanishing point P, from D¼ in FROM- intersection point and will determine the side B1,C1 how does a ray drawn from D1 in FROM.
In such a cunning way, at the intersections of rays from a distant point with rays of contractionsAP, BP, CP, DP, EPwe get a grid measuring 2 by 2 meters in perspective reduction with a size of square sections of 50x50 cm. Voila!
The height of the figure of a person in the picture and the height of the viewer at the viewing point is 170 cm, the distance to the viewing point is 2 meters.
As you can see in the photo below, placing our apple sketch on the resulting grid, 3d drawing from the point of view on the site, it should look exactly the same as on the sketch, i.e. without distortions and deformations. 
Now we need to draw a grid without distortion, this is our projection sketch, with which we will work on the site and transfer the image to the asphalt.
Our grid is built on the edge of the picture plane, which is our straight line H, the grid will be parallel to the picture plane and perpendicular to the plane of the base, i.e. "asphalt". The size of the grid squares is still the same - 50 cm, in the drawing, of course, you have it in the scale you have chosen.
Next, watch your hands... Let's number the squares for convenience. Run a beam, I called it " projection beam", from the point of view N, at the point of any intersection of our drawing with the grid that lies in our perspective, I chose the edge of the apple leaf - it is on the line of our grid in perspective (the base of the square C2). Crossing our usual grid, which is parallel to us, the projection beam beats off a point, which is the edge of our apple leaf.
In such a tricky way, we find all the intersection points on our grid. The points that fall on the center line are found by the method of proportional calculation.
To achieve a more accurate result of building parts and lines 3d drawing, the grid is given by a smaller cell step.
We connect all the points with a smooth line, as it was once in kindergarten...
3d drawing in the projection sketch is ready!
As you can see from the result, the sketch turned out to be deformed. Now it remains to transfer it to the asphalt in kind, where you have already drawn the grid, sit and wait.
By the same principle, the image is built on the walls and ceilings. This is where the fairy tale ends.
And don't forget that 3d drawing this is primarily a drawing that requires skills in drawing, color and composition, otherwise the work may not turn out spectacular.
Although 3d drawing is called a drawing, it can also be made with paint, where, logically, it would be more correct to call it 3d painting on asphalt, but it so happened that we began to call it a drawing, let me remind you that abroad it is most often called 3d street painting - 3d street painting, although sometimes you can see the term 3d drawings like we have.
