Here is my second 3-D drawing uploaded to FA, and the first created specifically as a 3-D image. I found some anaglyphic 3-D tutorials on the internets and put the advice I got from them to good use. Just like At the Beach 3-D, you'll need to find a pair of red-blue 3-D glasses, and put the RED lens over your LEFT eye.
This drawing features the accidental recruit for the Bunny Girl Basketball League (BGBL), last seen in the drawing "New Player". I thought she would make a good subject for another excursion into fantastic realm of the Third Dimension. Enjoy!

The ball was definitely a challenge, and I'm still not completely satisfied with how it turned out. But it seems to work -- for me, at least.
However, after I read your comments I examined the image a little more closely and noticed that the JPEG compression introduced color artifacts that interfered with the 3-D illusion. So I saved the image as a PNG file and I just re-uploaded it to FA. Try refreshing the image and see if it works better for you.
Part of the problem doing anaglyphs on a computer screen is that colors are displayed differently from screen to screen. Try placing your 3-D lenses on your monitor, positioning them over the basketball action lines (the curved lines above and below the ball). The red lines should disappear when you move the red lens over them. Likewise the cyan ("blue") lines/lens. If not, try adjusting the gamma or color control on your monitor and see if that helps.

Owning several pairs of 3-D glasses (from comic books and movie houses), I was able to use one of them to view this second offering of yours... and I can honestly say that your talents are improving by leaps and bounds! I've got to try my hand at rendering a similar 3-D pic of my own...
Those are really nice, good job!!
I don't have those 3D glasses, so I had to use my paintshop skills :)
Cross your eyes until you start to see three images then try to get the middle one to merge and focus.

Tim, I hope you don't mind I did this. I'll take them offline if you prefer, or you can use these edits, whatever you like.

It takes some practice, it used to give me a headache too. The hardest part is getting the image to focus instead of it staying blurry. And it's harder if the images are wider, and these are fairly wide for this.
Photo bucket is not really a place people come to look at galleries, its mostly just hosting to my knowledge. That's why I used it instead of my (scraps) gallery here at FA. And I would only post the links here.
Anyway, I'll drop you a note next time. :)

Thanks! I'm familiar with the basic concept of anaglyphic ("red-blue") 3-D, having been a big fan of Ray Zone for many years. And there are several online PhotoShop tutorials that helped me with the "how-to" of getting it done.
In a nutshell, the red image is shifted to the left and the blue to the right for the layers that should appear "nearer" to the viewer. For background objects the colors are reversed. For middle ground objects, the colors are on top of each other. Wearing the colored glasses tricks your eyes into thinking the drawing has depth, when it really does not.

Yeah, if you can visualize it, the basketball, her upper body, her lower body and the background are all on separate levels. And, as I explain above, the shifting of the cyan and red "shadow" images creates the 3-D effect.
It was great meeting you at the "Snowpocalypse" tonight. You do some phenomenal work!

Yeah, I can see the different areas on this one, even if I don't have the glasses to see the actual 3D effect.
I remember seeing 3D books using this when I was a kid, but I haven't seen anything using this technique in quite some time.
Also, thank you. I am doing my best to practice up and learn new techniques.
Snowpocalypse was a lot of fun.
