The details in this drawing are really amazing !! He was shortlisted as the Best Artist of the year2011 for this drawing. In the above drawing, you can see how perfectly he did the hair and beard.
A look at this drawing makes you think for a while. The first question is how to create such a realistic drawing with pencil. Each drop of water is carefully drawn with incredible details!
This one is not a photograph !!!!! Yes, it is a pencil drawing. The way the artist did the background details, the smoke, road and everything on the paper is just more than amazing.
Remarkable – really.
Thank you for sharing.
Amazing … I wish that I get a hyper realist …
