Artist Connection
Create your own work inspired by 3D Joe and Max, opening the “ground” to something new underneath. Think about shape, line, and value (you don’t have to colour, but use shading) and use one-point perspective drawing.
This video shares how to use this technique, just making a deep, dark hole. Use the basics from this video to create your drawing, with whatever you would like below. You can also search online for other tutorials (written or video) to create this illusion.
