This was fun and it melted my brain. I came across this wall by István Orosz and wanted to study it. On one hand it looks obvious how it's "build", but also there is something off about it. And I can't seem to figure out how to get the gap on the inside of the walls without cheating or changing the view. Because making the middle piece longer results in a longer wall or thicker walls elsewhere.

Thanks for the István Orosz reference. He has an amazing range of illusions, many of them meticulously crafted into realistically seeming objects. It seems there are people born with a great thirst for this kind of stuff - Escher, del Prete, Orosz. There must be other undiscovered artists of this type.

I would say the important thing is the inner structure. You can "fatten it up" as you please.

How is moving the pink lines away from the center to black lines' location cheating? I think that's a valid technique and you should do whatever works for you.

Hello everyone! It’s so cool to read about everyone’s goals and seeing the chosen art pieces. It introduced me to some new artists an reminded me of some I haven’t come across in years. <3 1 - Frankenstein Alive, Alive! Illustrated by Bernie Wrightson is a graphic novel I can stare at for hours, I love all the tiny details in the library and laboratory scenes. 2 & 3 - Growing up I was surrounded by a lot of art from the brothers Hildebrandt, I especially love how they draw the characters in the backgrounds. 4 & 5 - I’m not a wargamer anymore, but still the art of huge armies by artists like John Blanche and Paul Dainton makes me want to draw massive images. 6, 7 & 8 - And to close of this list I chose Moebius, all these images are places I wish to go and explore the worlds he created. My goal is to become better at drawing people, creatures and objects in environments, so the world they are in doesn’t feel like a flat image, but a place which can be explored further. Bonus goal, is to not only do this with straight line perspective, but also skewed like it’s photographed with a fisheye lens.
