In addition, you also need to carefully and accurately calculate the proportions for space and objects to create "real" features in each work.

Therefore, 3D painting techniques require high ingenuity.

And finally, hard work, starting from easy to difficult is the most important factor for you to become an admirable 3D artist. With 3D street paintings, when it rains erratically, the artist has to work harder because he has to cover and dry the colors. Normally, a 30m - 50m 3D street painting takes about 20 days to complete. The more detailed and complex the picture, the more time it will take.
