i’m sorry but this is an optical illution, they are not the same size they are different sides of something, has it never occured to you things look smalled when they are further away, so no, we did not all get owned by YOU!

the cups are the same size it is jst that one is on the other end of the coffee table and the cube that is on there gives it the illusion that it is smaller

no they arent. they are the same size because the cube is painted on the table thingamajig & theres a copy of the cup on top.

What I’d like to know is how to draw geometrically these eyes-fooling perspectives (trompe-l-oeils).-Maybe something like the mypicx link given by Paul.
Obviously one could project the picture of a cube on the table, at the same place one is going to take the picture, then draw.
And, yes, the reel issue here is that there is no coffee in either of them!

OMG. It isn’t that hard! The cube is a part of the carpet, duh!
If anybody knows how shadows work, you’d cleary see that the cube has a shadow thats going the wrong way. If the carpet was just 1 color it would be obvious to everyone. I think that the cup in the background is actually bigger. Just copy in paint, and cover the whole cube and it’s shadow until its not visible anymore. A whole other world will open for you dumb people. No offence to the ones that had it figured out, but I didn’t wanna frustrate myself so I didn’t read all the comments.

I have to say that the 2 cups are exactly the same, the rest of the picture is just a drawing to make our eye’s see that the one is bigger than that of the other, but than again, they really could be totally different sizes but I am still going for my first option of them being the same.
