Check out these 3D pencil drawings I just stumbled upon! They were done by a Chilean artist who calls himself “Fredo”. He is “just” an ordinary 17-year-old prodigy, who draws objects that look like they’re about to jump off the page! Just by looking at his art, can you differentiate what’s real and what’s not? It takes Fredo anywhere from just 30 minutes, to as much as few months to create a single piece! Though there is no doubt he has been inspired by artists, such as M.C. Escher, Fredo’s art definitely has a modern twist. Some of his drawings feature creepy goblins holding physical objects like a lighter or reaching out of the page for a soda can!

They look really absolutly 3 dimensional – fantastic! Great work, love it!!
i love and admire..
Yes.
What a genius
This is amazing,the shading is good too. It’s an interesting effect, I’d like to see more of this work. :)
10/10 !!!
Yes, yes I can believe that they are flat. Hmph.
The shading made it dimensional…and it looks like real….
Fredo’s work is amazing. The man climbing out of the hole wouldn’t have his right hand like that though.
That’s because the hand is not his…it’s another person below reaching up to add Un-expect-ability to the reality…yes he is a Genius and knows how to set a pic with Mystery and additional possibilities…wonderful gift…
The hand one with the decapitated finger is bogus. Two fingers are drawn the rest is his own hand. Take a closer look.
The rest are good.
That’s what it’s meant to be surely – just as in one he has a real lighter, in another he has a real can. In this one he has real hand. It’s not ‘bogus’ because he’s not claiming he drew the whole hand. The fun is seeing where drawing stops and reality begins.
i be artist like that
Amazing work!! So much talent, can’t wait to see more as he develops his skills.
Pateena> the hand was very obviously his own, except for the 6th finger, and the severed one. It was the severed finger that was the focus in that piece.
My favorites, the elephant, and then the wee lizard.
jesus man how long did it take u?
awesome
man that looks awesome
Staggering. Please post more if it becomes available
WoW!! This is absolutely incredible, more so to me than you know. I’ve been losing my vision to Retinitis Pigmentosa for years now, there is no cure and I should have been completely blind 25 yrs ago according to my doctors but I’ve still sight in my right eye. I’ve never been able to see anything in 3D prior to now. We go to movies and there are the video games which use 3d as part of the game so I’ve felt kind of like on the outside looking in with my husband and my kids. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very supportive but it’s hard to relate. This is the first time I’ve seen something which is supposedly a ‘figure’ which I couldn’t believe was actually flat drawing.
Thank you so very much for sharing these,
you’ve really made my day.
God Bless,
Maegi
very very good
Definitely a talent worth showing off. A career in fine arts or graphic design for gamingi suppose. Keep it up and good luck.
reminds me of the trompe l’oeil sidewalk chalk pieces of Julian Beever and Kurt Wenner –
