Hey,

as it's not easy to show what I draw in stereoscopy, I'll show you some red and blue anaglyph.

My first attempt is inspired from 2001: Space Odyssey. It's the Discovery One Spaceship.



To see it in relief, put you red and blue glasses on and look at the next picture Nota: the bigger the picture, the best the effect, so I doubled the resolution. Other solution is to cross your vision to superpose the two above pictures. This way, you'll see it with the right colors.



I hope you'll like it.

First, tahnk you so much for your feedback ! It's really appreciated

There are some tools in ProMotion NG that simplifies a lot the process. It's possible to draw the two parts of the picture at once, and to tell how much gap between the two pens you want.
Or, as I did for this picture, I chose to draw all the left-eye part then clone it to the right eye part, juggling with the gap on the fly. ProMotion NG is expensive but almost all the stereo-drawing features are included in the free version.

A bigger positive gap is translated in more depth by the brain. With a negative gap, the object will be pushed out of the picture and appear closer. In this picture I worked with a gap from 2 pixels (the thrusters) to 15 (the stars). Putting aside close and far objects intensifies the effect.
The tricky part is to think in 3 dimensions even if the picture is made of two 2 dimensions parts. Because each close object will hide a little of the distant ones on its edges. You can see an example around the antenna, some stars only appear in one part. Working with layers helps a lot too !

In total, I spent about 15 hours on this picture.

I'm glad you like it :) If you want more advice about stereo drawing and Pro Motion NG, I suggest you to contact Morintari, he's the one who teached me how to use the software, and he's pretty good at it.

Here is the first ever try I made at stereo drawing, only two months ago:

It's to him that I owe the evolution of my skills.

I agree with you, 3D effect is really great and oddly satisfying, I feel that my pictures come to life when I look at it in anaglyph (I don't have a 3D monitor) and it's so pleasing ! I'd love to see your work, don't be afraid to post (on this thread maybe ? It could become a general 3D pixel art thread, not only my work's thread).

It could be cool to gather advice on this kind of pictures here, because it's slightly different from "usual" drawings I think.

And thank you for the rating ^^
