Mechanical animals - a series of drawings in the style of steampunk, drawn with ballpoint pens. To breathe life into your work of art, the artist Marcomatic made a lot of effort, accurately tracing every smallest detail.

And for someone who creates whole pictures with a pen, it really takes a lot of skill.
