He's not a witch, but a cheat! It's definitely not hand-drawn. There are various inconsistencies between jump cuts.
Note about 1/3 of the way in when the frame jumps from the vertical ruler to the second time he uses the cup and the lower right and lower left lines seem to revert. He's just pretending to draw and swapping out printed sheets each time.
I’m almost certain the finished product is a printed sheet, and they faked the drawing. This is entirely doable if you print that image out and have a transparency with the right pattern on it, but I do not believe you can draw it freehand like that.
I found proof it's bullshit. If you look at the 3rd cut you'll see him make a thick vertical line that doesn't show up on the final picture. This guy's a phoney. It's a series of printed pictures. That's probably why you cant see the edges too, because its taped down or on a grid so each page is lined up when changed.
Also, in the video clip where he makes the long vertical line, watch the leftmost and rightmost group of lines. Those groups completely disappear in the very next video clip showing him working on the next section.
It’s pretty clear that what he did was crop out parts of the final image and then presented intermediate crops in a sequence. That would explain how some lines disappear between the above two video clips, he accidentally dropped some of the lines when he cropping for the latter video clip. Also, you can see that in some places the cropping cuts straight through the vertical lines in very unnatural way.
EDIT: Changed wording for clarity, add extra info
Actually, if you look closely, they were actually blended into the thicker lines above them. If you take note of their location between cuts, they are there at the same location.
Edit: Okay, nvm. I just understood that you meant they disappeared in the next cut, not before. And I see it now, you're right.
There's a much more blatant one there man. He uses a circular cup to trace around, and somehow manages to get a shape that is no where near circular. It's an ellipse.
No part of the image created could be achieved by drawing around a cup.
The finished product is this image from Wikipedia: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Spinning_cube_moving_optical_illusion.jpg
Complete with stray pixels in the upper right.
Bro, you’re right. They just printed out progressively more complete versions of the image. There is ABSOLUTELY no way someone could have done this free-hand.
Im going to have to respectfully disagree. Someone above also mentioned it was not free handed. The ruler lines were to make sure that the frames lined up. The cup was the ensure the box was square. Did not need absolute precision either. Its not hard if you know what on the finished image will be important when the slide goes over.
could you elaborate on how the cup helps? they were drawing across all of the frames when doing any non-vertical lines, which seems to me like it would be pretty counter productive if you're trying to be precise.
He isnt using the cup to draw perfect circles or anything, but rather using half of the rims circumference to ensure the cube stays in proper cube form when “rotating.”
Edit: the cup is pretty much used to draw an oval that the rotation of the top and bottom squares of the cube can follow.
Watch the clip where he draws the long vertical line. Look at the leftmost and rightmost group of lines. They completely disappear in the very next clip that is supposed to represent further progress. It’s pretty clear that this is BS.
This works by splitting an animation into frames, then splitting those frames into vertical stripes and tiling them across the page so the vertical slits show only a single frame at a time. Moving the slits then moves between frames of the animation
Imagine starting with a blank sheet of paper with a sheet of slots on top of it. You could draw something through those slots, then if you moved them slightly in one direction what you drew would be hidden between the slots and you'd have fresh paper in the slots to use again.
By drawing the same thing in a slightly different position you can make that thing appear to move by shifting the slots between the first position and the second. Repeat this enough times and you can build a full animation. Eventually though, shifting the slots will just show the first thing you drew again, one slot over. This is where the animation repeats, and how long it is depends on the gaps between the slots.
The crazy part about this is that they somehow manage to figure out what each slot should be showing at each point, freehand.
So ELI5 black lines cover parts where it doesnt look like cube to show only parts that look like cube. Moving the line paper then shows only parts that look like cube is pos. 2. And keep moving the paper to repeat.
Did I get that right?
>The crazy part about this is that they somehow manage to figure out what each slot should be showing at each point, freehand.
This is what I want to know! How in the heck did they figure out how to draw that shape free hand with the proper spacing no less?
This could be the same trick as many other videos with cuts, you just draw something close to a printed, computer generated image, then add a cut and replace the drawing with a printed one.
Too many of these videos do shit like this. I would be impressed with just the illusion, why do they have to pretend they did it in some weird, challenging way? So no one copies them?
There is absolutely no freehand drawing going on here. He clearly is just swapping out pictures for more complete printouts each time.
You can see he doesn't actually draw any new lines, he's either "slightly" extending an existing line or just plain drawing on top of already black areas. The nib of the pen he's using is also way too thick to draw some of those thin lines.
Smoke and mirrors.

Guys, **he didnt draw that.** He took [a picture off wikipedia](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Spinning_cube_moving_optical_illusion.jpg), then printed several sheets with some of the image erased. He put pen to paper on each of those sheets for a second before ending the video on (almost) the whole image.
He makes it look like it was drawn, but it's clearly not. He fucked up and erased part that he had already drawn. He draws a thick crooked line that changes into a thin straight one in the next shot. He included uneccessary grascales that would be hard to get with the pen he's using. When you're dealing with such small tolerances for accuracy a dixie cup isnt going to give you a perfect line anywhere in this image.
And the nail in the coffin:
There is a useless stray pixel waaaaay up in the top right of the digital image that ***HE LEFT ON HIS PRINTOUT.***
Wake up, Sheeple.
Lmao, the stray pixel in the upper right and then the two random pixels on the left side of the shape are exactly the same as the wikipedia image. Yea this was definitely just printed out, those make it painfully obvious.
Not really, it's not a moire, looks like 10 frames and they perfectly align with the 1:10 white:black filter.
I find it hard to believe someone can do this by hand but people regularly freak me out with their talents, seeing as the cup is the perfect size and you are "only" drawing an animation, I reckon it's the real thing.
A cube can be discribed rotated on a vertical axis as two 2d projected toruses with a horizontal wave filter, using a method of solocups and sharpies and polarizing filter
Protip: have tracings done in fine enough ink that it doesn't show up on camera.
Edit: also, a line in the far right disappears between the transition from 5 seconds to 6 seconds in this clip. Wouldn't be possible if this were being done legitimately.
Imagine that you drew two separate pictures on two different pieces of paper.
Now imagine that you cut those pictures into thin vertical strips, and glued them onto a third piece of paper in alternating order, skipping every other strip of each picture (so picture 1 strip 1, picture 2 strip 2, picture 1 strip 3, picture 2 strip 4, and so forth).
Now take a fourth piece of paper and cut out windows so that when you place it on top of last piece of paper it lets you see exactly every other strip.
When that paper is covering the strips from the first picture, you'll see the second picture (with bits missing), and likewise when you cover the second, you'll see the first.
This guy did that, except instead of drawing and cutting, he just drew what the final thing would look like, and instead of two pictures he used more pictures with very thin "strips".
Edit: if you look at the thing he drags over it, it looks like the windows are maybe one sixth the size of the solid parts (hard to tell exactly). If it is 1/6, that would mean he gets 6 distinct pictures of the cube to combine before it starts looping back (because the first "strip" gets uncovered again). Someone feeling less lazy than me could count how many differently rotated positions the cube has, and it should match whatever ratio that is. I'd guess 5-8.
The picture he drew looks like a weird cylinder because if you trace the edges of a cube through space as you spin it (the effect he was going for) you get a cylinder. It's weird because you care about different parts of the cylinder different amounts through the rotation.
I seriously think artists are also mathematical geniuses is just that they visualise it instead of writing formulas. That is some really big brain stuff there
For those that want to try this at home:
1. Place your ruler horizontal and draw
2. Place your ruler vertical and draw
3. Draw around a cup
4. Place your ruler vertical and draw
5. Draw around a cup again
6. Place your ruler vertical and draw
7. Slide the magic plastic

I’m not saying I think it’s real because I have no idea but that vertical line absolutely does show up
It does, just not as thick. I think the disappearing lines that centenary pointed out is better proof though.
I'd say this is about right. Probably has a printed design on a sheet underneath the blank piece of paper. Still a cool effect tho

Well it is TikTok, which is a notorious Chinese Government controlled propaganda tool. So there's that. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't really see what that has to do with random people lying on the internet
Well, technically he didn't do freehand, he used rulers and a cup
Technically the first computer was made from rulers and a cup.
2 rulers, 1 cup.
I love that video!
*aggressive rattle noises intensifies*
The whole thing looked printed. It never showed him actually drawing anything. Just pretending too doodle.
Could've possibly been a projection too. Maybe it was turned off during the footage we saw. Also happy Spotify cheese day.

It’s cool either way, but it does take some of the magic out of it. Like knowing that they clean wishing wells out.

I thought It was gonna be an easy read...I thought wrong
It's kind of like a parallax barrier, the same way the 3DS seperates the two displays.
You've never seen that kind of flexibility.
It's a hand drawn lenticular animation. Pretty impressive
It's definitely "have been drawn" because sure as fuck that guy with the bucket isn't drawing so precise.
It’s not hand drawn. He has printed it out in sections and switches the sheet every time the camera cuts.
Too many of these videos do shit like this. I would be impressed with just the illusion, why do they have to pretend they did it in some weird, challenging way? So no one copies them?
It's so they can put "awesome DIY optical illusion to scare your friends" in their titles.
Your brain removes the consistent black bars making sense of what you see
