(2) Coexistence of normal and inverse illustrations
There are pictures which can exist even if seen from
the top or from the bottom. These are a kind of tricky pictures which were
painted in ancient western and eastern worlds. The views from each opposing
direction can be recognized as an independent painting. Therefore, there
is some impossibility, which makes the paintings somewhat strange.
The key to draw such a picture is to make important
parts vividly play important roles when they are seen from both directions.
They are the roofs in Figure 354 for example. They are both the eyes and
mouths being utilized for the gazing and sleeping faces. Other parts may
be seen vividly and actively when they are seen from one direction. However,
some ideas are important in making them have shapes which are not easily
recognized from the opposing direction.
To see the inverse figures, just click on them.
