  • This music is from the Sims! 

  • crazy

  • 0:41 :-D

  • Now this is art. None of that "Modern Art" bullshit where you just throw paint on a damn canvas.

  • omg these are amazing i wish i could draw like that

  • Tha jack sparrow would be a sick ass back piece! Can't find a good enuff artist to do it on me! :/

  • There is no way...faces could be sketched like this.

  • wow these are nice :D

  • Wow the one at 0:12 is my favorite. Beautifully drawn face and amazing detail on the clothing!

  • holy crap that is good

  • Coukd you please tell me the name of the artist that did the first and second portrait. :)

  • @LMJCreations I just got them from an email i have no idea who the artist is btw they are not that popular !

  • @LMJCreations It's bizzar to call this art, therefor they are not artists:)

  • looks real, amazing! You can barely see it's done in pencil, but you can see it.This is not photocopies, some people ARE that talented, I hope I will be one in the future..

  • I wanna be able to do sketches of people like that D:

  • 0:14 un 0:20 Oo ohhahh respekt

  • who's the girl at 0.30?

  • @Christianparco93 That looks like Jennifer Gardger. She's an actresss.

  • Fake! Obviously computer aided.

  • @Alberturkey54 drawing pictures in photoshop from a blank page is just as amazing as having it on a piece og paper. Digital drawing is not a "easier" way of drawing it's just a new medium like a pencil is to paper. Try drawing somthing in photoshop and you you'll see.. you HAVE to have talent either way.

    I don't know if these pictures was made by pencil or digital, but if you look closely you can clearly see it is hand made.

  • 0:47 that was mine

  • @hophiphop11 i just got these pics from an email so if 0:47 is yours please tell me your name i write it under the description as a credit Thanks for telling

  • @motherjoon

    it's not worthy

  • 0:16 , simply unbelievable :O

  • wow the first one looks like a camera pic

  • wow truly amazing n unbelievable ,.....:)

  • These may be Photoshop, or they may be graphite pencil drawings. Drawing is a much greater artistic medium than many people realize, whether in graphite pencil or colored pencil, and highly realistic works may be achieved in this medium. I work exclusively in drawing, in Photorealism, or Hyper-Realism. Just plain, old-fashioned drawing; graphite, black colored pencil, or colored pencil (full color) on paper, Bristol vellum, and Illustration board.

  • Unbelieveably Beautiful! It's hard to believe that these works of art are PENCIL! Bravo!

  • only with pencil wow great job!

  • these are drawing! WHAT THE FORK!

  • HI!! young fellow artist here, loved your drawings, if you have any tips for us other artists please share XD lol

  • amazing.

  • unusual

    very elaborate drawings

    ~~~~~~

    niezwykłe

    bardzo dopracowane rysunki

  • The drawing of the girl at 00:20 is perfection. Thumbs up if you agree. :)

  • even if this was made by photoshop, it looks ridiculously awesome, must have took days of work

  • I don't even know why there're dislikers!

  • complimenti veramente belli ... puoi fare un tutorial per come disegni i capelli ?

  • Only holy men draw like this

  • fenomenal !

  • Hehe, Sim City 4. I remember that music. Great job to all of the artists that made these sketches.

  • Its so hard to believe these are pencil sketches....it looks so realistic.

  • who r u do u have a website i can see your work on

    appriciate your skill and how you see

  • thats fantastic! all of them! damn, i wanna get to bein that good. doubt i could do it tho, thats born skill.. like da vinci!

  • what kind of pencils did u used in these drawings??

  • good job

  • Photoshop is a fraud. All genuine work is done by hand. 

  • NICE!

  • These are drawings and not just some sketches..

  • amazing inspried me !:L(

  • weh?

  • You are the best i try every paper and pencil .......... can' t do it !

  • HOLY F******G GOD I WISH EVERYDAY I CAN PUT WHAT BEAUTIFUL IMAGES THAT ARE IN MY HEAD DOWN ON A CANVAS I REALLY ALMOST CRIED TO THINK I DONT HAVE TALENT LIKE YOU DO !!!!!!! great job i love it

  • @andyouknoit read the description please

  • I can not believe those are pencil drawings/ skteches !!

    really great job

    I myself draw but you made me feel like I don't have any talent besides you I'm amazed :O !!

  • Nearly unbelieveable. A few of those images are the best I've seen in my entire life.

  • you have skills ill give you 5*'s

  • thats photo shop people not pencil people

  • Who drew the beautiful picture at :22?

  • in my opion this is well done but at least it is just the perfection of a handcraft. i draw in pencil for years and i wont deny that these drawers are probably better than me. i think it just takes much longer to draw photorealism and for me it has nothing to do with art just to copy pictures in black and white. its great work but not art.

  • @Inmate005 I'm in agreement w/ this.

  • WOW! 

  • I love the jack sparrow one!

  • wow

    

  • That is fucking awesome!

    Thumb up!

  • T_T this art is sooooo good

  • woow very spectacular i cant believe tht they are actually sketches they look like black and white photos!!

  • 0:45 looks like AJ Cook .. weird O.o

  • i love to draw in pencil but to be at this standard would be absolutly stunning,i cant tell you how much you've inspired me to want to improve now!i'll never be that good,i simply don't have the time to practise but these really are awesome,thanks for posting!

    Danny.

  • great portraits,this is the true art

  • I grabbed my i photo and put it on black and whit and compared them and i think the drawing looked even better. XD

  • thats awesome

  • @914peru if you can do photo shop like these,please do your masterpiece!!!!!

  • @motherjoon why do you call this pencil sketches when most of the drawings are really photoshop

  • @motherjoon ye u can do it with PS but im so sure it isn digital cuz , ure work is not perfect

  • @motherjoon

    Youtube search - Photoshop realistic drawing.

    You sir just got owned.

  • @914peru this is pencil fool(s)

  • @914peru um nope this is definitely not photoshop

  • @914peru hahaha whattt an idiot .

  • @914peru this isnt photoshop, its pencil. you can tell by the way the lines move and shading. if it was photoshop it would be very smooth, almost painted but more precise. trust me

  • @914peru

    i think its just hard for you to understand that there are talented people in the world

  • @914peru moron

  • WOW!!

  • i had to keep reminding myself that these were drawings and not just black and white pictures :P

    incredible!

  • those are soo good!!!

  • that was incredible

  • OMG ^^ THIS IS AWESOME PUSH THE GREEN BUTTON ^^

  • Hi, your art work is great... cud u pls let me know what material you use for smudging i.e. giving smooth grey finish e.g. the face color or around eyes, corners of nose etc.

  • woooooow :D 

  • these are great drawings but picasso wasnt a photorealsit. if you wanna compare with the best "photorealist" artists, google dru blair... but these ARE really good drawings :)

  • INCREDIBAL! WOW.  Some people are so talented!

  • OMG!

  • ...not better than picasso. Look at the old fisherman. He did that when he was 14. He could draw this stuff with his hands tied. Every stroke on every drawing or painting he made had a purpose.

  • OMG can you make a Step By Step video plz

  • That Can NOT be real OMG

  • FAN-TASTIC!

  • i would like to bet at least 1 of them is a black and white photo xD

  • @bradleycontois you would lose your bet. Every one of those are just really good drawings. The drawing of Jennifer Garner has some very good light shading around the cheeks. The girl with the wild hairdo shows some amazing intricate work.

  • As an artist who does work similar to these, I would just like to mention that these are not "sketches." A sketch is a very quick, very loose drawing, usually done in a few minutes. These are drawings...portraits, actually. When I do one, it generally takes me between thirty and forty-five HOURS. Hardly a sketch.

  • @warwolfii Yup

  • wooooow thats crazy

  • Haha wow its amazing how many jealous, insecure people their are in the world... "they are photographs"...no they aren't...get a life...

  • it looks fake to me

  • i like it but somehow i am doubtful!!

  • You don't suck.

    Wonderful! Amazing!

    I quit......

  • thats cool

  • That Jennifer Garner was amazing!!

  • absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing. I am a new artist and watching you draw makes me think that I possibly just might be able with practice to put out something as lovely as yours .

    thanks again

    diannah

  • this one vid is amazing i say. It's like printing it out ,very nice done:) I wish i could do tht but not quite there yet..need much practise still 4 me..

  • how can they be so real, yet so detailed, nicely, softly...amaaaaaaazing!

  • Wow, impressive and beautiful portrait drawings.

  • FUUUUUCKIIIINNNG HELL YAAAH!!

    ooooooooommmmmmmmmmg!!!

    WHO THE FUCK DRAWED THESE PAITINGS? OMG OMG OMG

  • @perker180 who DREW these PAINTINGS? lol

  • I am amazed.....very beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing!

  • I'll admit i can do the first portrait but i the second i can barely even dream of drawing that

  • If someone is good enough, the pencil can be nearly as awesome looking as a photo! It's unbelievable how lifelike some drawings can be! You only have to search through Google to see what I'm talking about!

  • amazing...ther are lots of great portraits in deviantart

  • THEY ARE PHOTOGRAPHS

    You mess a little with some layers and filters and voila u get something like that.

  • really Amazing,,Excellent piece of art.........

  • this is like a compliment, right?^^

    its totally amazing, what an art! i pull my hat^^

  • No they're not. They're drawings. I've seen them close up on the Internet [I was searching for drawings by artists] and they've definitely been drawn. People can have such a magnificent enough ability to draw this good. I wasn't far off when I was at school.

  • Amazing! These sketches are really beautiful!

  • Fabulous allright.Thanks!!

  • "falowing"?

  • Very nice drawings.

  • Awesome work

  • these are amazing.

    some of them look more like photographs than pencil sketches.

  • this is just insainely gorgeous...

  • everytime i sketched i found the most difficult 2 handle is the eyes...sometimes i made it come alive but sometimes i failed n messed up...is the eyes the toughest 2 sketch?

  • WOW! Fantastic. With you around who needs a camera. Keep up the good work.

  • hands like a camera!! MADNESS

  • Madness?This is Sparta!!!!!

  • hahaha

  • nice :) i ike your style

  • That is absolutly AMAZING!! You have a gift. I hope you become fabulously rich...you deserve it!

  • did you read the sidebar thingy- the drawings are by different people......

  • its not like this was a huge shock, i've seen AMAZING drawings before, but whats great about art is that every time you see a beautifull drawing or painting or any type of skilled work, it never seices to leave me speachless.

  • soo...oooo good!

    simply perfect!!!!!!!

  • the second 1 was a picture from the girl in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven"

  • love apnea at 0:50

  • they are drawings but ye its freaking realistic ey I thought they look like black and white photos too!!! AWSOME!!

  • i love the music

  • I had to comment on this. Some of these drawings look fake and by fake i mean they look like photo's but i'll put nothing past a great artist it probably can be done. Still feeling it thou much props to the artists.

  • they does'nt look like drawings..

  • Im Whit you! AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIING

  • this is way better than pablo picaso's work. who's with me

  • how when his was a completly different style than these?

  • I am with you ur right

  • @sharingancopyinninja picasso was 12 when he went to an art school; picasso could have draw like this probably too, but he did not. Picasso painted and drew the things the way he saw it.

  • Comment removed

  • @willwak dont mean to be rude, but i am an artist too and i know what good art is

  • Comment removed

  • @sharingancopyinninja

    I was hasty. There are some very interesting pictures there. Especially the child at 00:20 and the old man immediately after her. They both do have life and depth and character. You're right.

  • @sharingancopyinninja u have no idea what u r talkin about... picasso could draw better than this at age of three. he was pure genius who redefined art of the 20th century... these people cant touch Picasso by any means...

  • Nothing is unapproachable and nothing should be taken for granted.

  • @sharingancopyinninja Pablo was one of the first to think differently, yes people have different tastes etc....

    But he was the first person with his ideas etc...

  • @sharingancopyinninja just because picaso chose to paint abstractly does not mean he couldnt draw like this. no great artist cannot draw

  • @clicheconnor thats true'

  • They're drawings, most of them are at least. Look at the signatures in the corner. There are spectacular artists out there :)

  • the is brf good .. i love king'dk' what da women g'ipan gayf ...... you can do !!!!!

  • they are all beautfiful but it looks like a black white photo cause it looks so real..

  • it does'nt look like pencil drawings..

  • the second is not a pencil sketch

    i searched it

    the artist who was making that sketch first stated with pencil then he left it n did that in photoshop

  • photoshopped!

  • wich pencil you use plz answer me,,,,,,

  • usually a variety......

    All of different hardness.

    But you can sketch using just a regular #2, a tortillion, and a shit ton of skill haha

  • omg O M G iv never seen such beatiful drawings

  • amazing drawings!

  • interesting....spelling!
