Hmm, there are quite many X’s :P They are used to take out center points, the large circles are vanishing points, the brownish lines are reference lines drawn from those vanishing points, yellow lines are new lines drawn between intersections and white lines are either the original reference or the final lines.

As for how I make them, there are multiple steps. I always sketch them out on paper first, then I go digital. I’ve described it at one point, over here. It should still be accurate…

I think I see how you lay down the initial idea there. X marks the spot, right? :P

Also, how do you draw these? By hand or computer-aided?

[...] is my second picture like this, I might make more, this time it was quicker than last time as I did it differently. I think this version got nicer colors but the lines are not anti-aliased [...]

Thank you guys :)

About the shading. The setup of the lighting was a nightmare as the objects differ so much, the most severe problem areas are the ones you notice. I didn’t have enough rigging gear or space to make it perfect, but unless I had stressed this out for the contest I would probably not have finalized it anytime soon :P

That’s the perfectionist in me delaying things by expanding and refining the idea. The limited amount of time/funding/space/resources actually helped me contain the concept and execute it :) I did two retakes though, on all the pyramids, due to said lighting issues (they were much worse at first) and exposure issues. More about that later, probably.

On some of them the shading seemed off.

for others, if you had a ball you could get some “impossible motion” going.

Exactly that.

I once tried that same principle in greyscale it simply took forever for people to “get” what was going on. I was going for Escher’s cube.

I added the color change mostly because it was a bit confusing to look at when it was all in the same color, as well as a bit boring :P What trouble would there have been? :o
