Brazilian artist João Carvalho may be only 15 years old, but the young artist can completely transform plain paper into ruled notebook sheets with 3D illusions popping out of them.

He starts by drawing blue lines on a blank sheet, but distorts them and adds intense shadows at just the right places, adding depth to his designs and creating the effect of three dimensional shapes that seem to jump off the page.

Whenever I see this style of illustration I always wish I could turn the pictures so my brain could better process the illusion.
