Sarajevodentalfloss by Juan Francisco Casas
We looked at the pencil, now it's time to shine the spotlight on the mighty PEN! Pretty realistic, huh? You can tell this guy really knows his stuff. Some people might think it's nothing because he's only imitating photos, but there's great skill in how he's doing it.
First of all, I love how incredibly silly the subjects are in the artist's composition. Second, the realism is unbelievable ;-). Each time I look closer at his drawings I'm astonished by the way he uses a simple ballpoint pen. The number of strokes he must have made to create those subtle gradations, and dark values must have been extremely time consuming. The highlights underneath the eyes, the nose, the fingers, and the floss are so perfect.
And that's just his ballpoint creations. His paintings are pretty amazing too, but that's another story.
