American Tim Jeffs became famous for its hyperrealistic drawings … Made in black and white colors, his paintings attract attention with a special inner drama. A talented New Jersey illustrator draws portraits of animals using a black ballpoint pen and ink.
Works created with ballpoint pens, as a rule, cause confusion - they too much resemble photographs. However, true masters of hyperrealistic drawing know that it is quite possible to do without a camera. The portraits of animals by Tim Jeffs are a vivid confirmation of this.
Tim Jeffs didn’t think seriously about drawing, the first sketches appeared as entertainment. His son, Harrison, decided to talk about his father's talent on the social network reddit, and Tim Jeffs' drawings immediately began to gain popularity on the Internet. The resourceful American decided to take advantage of the success, expanded his portfolio and began selling paintings on Etsy.
The collection of Tim Jeffs is constantly growing, it contains a large number of animals: from the usual elephants, tigers and rhinos to exotic iguanas, turtles and chameleons. It takes 12 to 16 hours to create one drawing, which is how long it takes to create a realistic image. The Ink Zoo is gradually expanding, and the artist himself admits that the process of creating drawings gives him great pleasure: “Creating works of art is my passion. I love details, and the more complex and intricate the image of the animal is, the better."
The drawings by the American Tim Jeffs remind the paintings of the artist Paul Lung, which we have already told the readers of the site Culturology. Ru about. The portraits of this master from Hong Kong are called “pencil photographs” because they are so beautiful and realistic.
