drawing dupeception
I rewrote this post because the idea is super simple, and it’s a little silly to read a long boring story just for a drawing dupe presentational idea.
Basically this is a three-way drawing duplication. It’s exactly the same as your typical drawing dupe but with an added layer of dual reality.
You’re in a coffee shop with a friend, and you’re gonna show her a drawing duplication. You ask her to wait a sec first, and go up to the counter with a notepad and pen. You ask the barista to open the notepad and draw something random and simple, then tear out the page, fold it, put it away, and check nothing bled through to the next page. You take back the notepad and tell them you’re going to try to guess what they drew, and ask them some questions first. So you ask them some seemingly unrelated questions, and take down some notes. Then you think for a minute, but you don’t think you have it. You ask them to give you some time to figure this out.
You go back to your table with your friend- she saw the whole thing go down with the barista- and you tell her you’re trying to figure out what was drawn and ask her to give it a shot first. So you give her the notepad and you walk her through the process of what you were thinking when trying to figure it out- “look at the barista and imagine what they’re thinking of, take everything into consideration- the way they’re dressed, the color of their clothes, their hair, accessories, their job as a barista, the time of day this is happening…” etc etc. You can repeat some of the questions you asked and the answers you got before too. Then ask your friend to not let you see their drawing because you wanna give this a shot too.
When she’s done, you ask her to tear out their page- making sure nothing bled through, and give you the notepad and pen. After some thought, you make a drawing. When you’re done, you tell your friend you’re curious what they got. To their surprise, you drew the exact some thing! You’re now super excited. You go up to the barista and show them your drawings, and both turn out to be correct!
Method is imp pad, of course. And basically, you’re making the initial barista dupe as you pretend to take some notes when asking them questions. On your way back, that page gets torn out and put away- or just tucked under in the middle of the pad. You then go to your friend and do a drawing dupe again. You get hers correct. On your way back to the barista, you simply swap out yours and your friend’s drawing for the barista’s.
A couple things to consider. Your friend needs to stay seated, but it’s pretty common for one person to stay at the table to hold the spot when the other leaves anyways. The coffee shop should a little busy, and you’re sat a good distance away from the order counter. This is for the dual reality part- the barista thinks the two of you are trying to figure out what they drew, and your friend thinks your showing the barista what the two of you drew.
It’s pretty cool that it’s not directly done to your friend, so it’s not like you’re trying to guess what she’s thinking. Kinda takes the heat off of that mind reading aspect. So there you go- a drawing dupe within a drawing dupe.
