Pick up ballpoint pen - it's not a tricky business, but to draw a drawing with its help, and even one that cannot be distinguished from black-and-white photography, is needed for this talent. Gorgeous portraits of celebrities are painted by a British artist Gareth Edwards). His collection includes images of Audrey Hepburn, Walt Disney, the legendary "Mr. Bean", Rowan Atkinson, and others.
Ballpoint pen drawings - a popular trend in contemporary art. For example, Anna Emilia Laitinen prefers classic blue pens, Samuel Silva prefers multicolored pens, and James Robert Mylne and Tim Jeffs prefers black. Gareth Edwards also does not change the restrained black color, he admits that drawings made with a pen are very laborious. Firstly, the hand is very tired, and, secondly, a long concentration of attention is needed, because the work on each portrait lasts 2-3 weeks.
The talented British artist admits that he is practically obsessed with the love of drawing: he strives to create each next drawing even more realistic. The main goal of his creative process is to fool the audience, the creator is such a perfect portrait that it would not even occur to anyone that it could be done with a banal ballpoint pen.
Gareth Edwards stresses: "I want my work to show you that you have the ability to create anything, even if, at first glance, it seems unreal." It is interesting that the artist shares with the audience not only photographs of finished paintings, but also frames made in the process of drawing. Thus, you and I can see how a real man-made "photo" is born from a sketch.
