As though there was not enough in this world that deceives us, one professional artist has compiled 10 amazing drawing tricks that can fool any untrained eye.

Howard Lee recently uploaded to YouTube a video of him drawing various objects and then putting his viewers to the test as to which one is real and which one is a drawing.

It's not as easy as it sounds. Lee's skill with sketch and paint is such that each two-dimensional drawing looks as real and three-dimensional as the objects they are juxtaposed.

After successfully tricking his audience, Lee shows in fast-forward fashion how he drew the artistic twin to the real object, usually a food item.

Since being posted on Jan. 9, Lee's video has gotten over 300,000 views, 1,000 likes, and about 25 dislikes, presumably from people angry over being tricked.

Want to see if you can do better at spotting the drawing? Then check out this fast-paced series of optical illusions and do your best!
