Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:05Black marker outlines establish the block digits "2026" on a blank white sheet.
- 0:50Perspective lines converge toward one vanishing point to create the digits' receding sides.
- 1:57Black edges and blended pencil shading give the columns contrast and depth.
- 3:24Blue rules, a red margin and punched-hole circles create the notebook backdrop before cast shadows are added.
- 4:21Cutting around the upper outline removes excess paper that would otherwise reveal the flat sheet.
- 5:40The finished drawing is shown from the viewing angle that produces the three-dimensional effect.
Scissors finish the illusion. After building up the digits with perspective lines and smudged shadows, Drawings and Creations cuts around their upper edges. Seen from the right angle, "2026" appears to stand above a sheet of notebook paper.
The tutorial has picked up about 27,000 views in a day after a quiet first-day start. That is an unusually sharp acceleration for this upload, published six days ago.
Its subject has history here: an earlier pencil tutorial drawing "2026" is the channel's most-watched regular video. This new version returns to the year with black marker outlines, deep shaded columns and a carefully constructed paper backdrop.
The notebook sheet is itself part of the drawing. Starting with blank white paper, the artist adds blue horizontal rules, a red margin and circles resembling punched holes. Pencil shadows then make the digits appear to cast shade onto those lines. There is no spoken explanation; the hands, ruler and changing marks carry the lesson.
The final desk demonstration arrives at 5:40, when the camera takes the angle that makes the cutout work. A blue marker helps show the apparent space around the numbers, turning all that flat shading into something that seems solid.
