Italian Artists Marcello Barenghi can create the most astoundingly realistic-looking hand drawings. Amazingly, at the age of 9, he was so impressed with Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Mona Lisa”, that he tried to reproduce it on his own. Using water paint, colored pencils, air-brushes, and more. His art is often indistinguishable from photographs, thanks to his attention to details.
The young African artist Enam Bosokah has the amazing ability to create hyper-realistic portraits with nothing but a regular pen! Enam continues to amaze the world with his majestic works that teach us something: To create art, the only elements really necessary are passion, creativity, and talent. He obviously has all 3, as his paintings almost seem to come alive.
Andrey Poletaev is a self-taught artist who specializes in ballpoint pen art and graphics. His work is technically complex and predominantly focuses on cityscapes. This art form is incredibly difficult to master, as mistakes are permanent. The complex detail found in cityscapes also makes them incredibly time-consuming to complete. Nevertheless, the effect created when using ink in this way is nothing short of stunning when executed correctly. Take a look at Andrey's impressive works of art.
It is incredible to think of how talented some artists are. When I came across the wonderful drawings of Paul Lung I was tricked into thinking that these images were black and white photographs. It is hard to believe that they were all drawn using a single pencil! Take a look at his accurate depiction of cats and people in this truly fascinating collection. See more of Paul Lung's art, here.
