You can create a 3D heart drawing to express your love or simply decorate your gear. You won't even need to wear any 3D glasses to make it work!
How does this simple, two-dimensional cartoon line drawing trick the brain into thinking it is three-dimensional? It is all about the placement of the lines. This is known as an optical illusion.
When the lines are arranged in a certain way, the brain "fills in the blanks" based on your experience with real-world objects.

Since real objects with sides are actually three-dimensional, your mind assumes that this object with apparent sides is, too.
The coloration of the drawing can also help. Try coloring the front of the heart a light shade, and the side a darker shade of the same color. This will enhance the three-dimensional effect.
