The astonishing pictures drawn by PENCIL

Artist's drawings take between three and six weeks to create and sell for up to £5,000 each
The hyperrealist art is taken from a photograph but is produced in a non-photographic medium


These might look like photographs, but it's not all black and white when it comes to the work of this artist.
Despite looking like they have been captured on a camera, these are actually hand-drawn images created by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden.
The 47-year-old, from Scotland, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail, often just using only a pencil.
From the wrinkles on a woman’s face, a puff of smoke from a cigarette or dripping water - Cadden's drawings look unbelievably realistic.

Hyperrealism was born from the idea of photorealism, which are paintings based on photographs but created in a non-photographic medium.
Taking an average of between three and six weeks to produce, Cadden creates about seven pieces each year - which usually come in A1 or A0 sizes - and sell at galleries for up to £5,000 each.

wow ... just wow a part of me still can't believe that these aren't photographs

Amazing work if that's true

I doubt the claim.

If you look carefully, you can see the pencil sketch marks. Anyone who does pencil portraits can see that.

It takes a lot of patience to do one such portrait!!
