These three-dimensional pencil drawings by Chilean artist Fredo are absolutely mind-blowing! The 17-year-old prodigy draws objects that look like they're about to jump off the page! In fact, by taking pictures of his art at just the right angle, it's hard to differentiate what's real and what's not.

Some of his extremely detailed drawings even feature creepy goblins holding physical objects like a lighter or reaching out of the page for a soda can. To be able pull this off, this gifted teenager not only has a powerful imagination but an extreme amount of patience and a crazy amount of talent. I caught up with Fredo to ask him a few questions about his work: At what age did you start to draw? Who are some of the other artists you are inspired by? How long does each piece take? Is there any advice you'd give to other artists? The 3D Art of Fred. Fredo is a 17 year old artist from Chile.
