Like, how the fuck do people even do this?
KGBJay
This is insane talent
danvolodar
Okay, he can emulate photography perfectly, only taking a few hundred times longer to make a picture. Now what?
balistik
Human photocopier
TastesLikeLove
While I love the talent, I don't understand the appeal of making art that is so much like a photograph that you can't tell the difference.
mattwhelan
This guy projects the image (or grids it) on to the page.

hold my beer ✎(°/°)
canipetyourdog
The best part is - he's entirely self-taught!
rodgerdabbit
@pyrobob4: actually he is not an artist, it's this pencil that's amazing
ElGatoBorracho
Just to clarify, it's Diego Fazio*.
jalapenooo
He draws better than my camera takes a photo
Chrahviss
I guess it's a nice pencil and all. But how did you not notice the amazing drawings OP?
ShermanRaspberry
Look at the shading on those upper lips! Must have taken at least three hours.
sirfrankenstein
and i can breath... *choke*
plastikk
I find hyperrealism to be a bit boring. It's impressive, but not exciting
nakedladybugsdidthis
This guy makes me realize...my art is trash and even my photos arent that good!
Anenome
Or you could just, ya know, take a photo >_> this is like the same thing the hard way. Incredible, sure, but duplicative.
Sorapally
These are pretty horrible drawings of pencils. Not impressed
foammouthguy
His last name means joint in spanish
jofftom
I could do this with a camera and gray-scale filter.
melindypants
I need that pencil.
Doomy22
Man if I had this talent, I'd draw so many boobies
mraowmraow
How has this not got more upvotes, this comment made me laugh way too hard!
hessukoo
And butts. Don't forget about butts.
DidIEverSayILikeMyFriends
This may be why you weren't given this talent haha!
Clyded
My god its so fucking good
jackinwhite
my exact words
phionix33
Prove it to me and I still won't believe it.
MetalPrincess
Watching this kind of stuff makes me want to downvote your post cause I suck at drawing stuff myself. Damnit.
IlessthanthreeDisney
I have no talent :(
butterfliesandsirens
makes me feel the same
PolarHailStorm
Talent is usually a guiding light in terms of things like this. You still don't get anywhere if you don't practice like a boss all the time
bubblehearth
We -all- have talents, I think. I also think we rarely discover what they are while we are still young enough to use them. :|
IlessthanthreeDisney
I love to bake bread.....I want to take some classes to learn more.
bubblehearth
I shall await news of your successful future bakery, friend.
IlessthanthreeDisney
/a/frto1#0 this is my baking album. It doesnt have my newest chocolate meringue cookies though.
bubblehearth
Oh my god. You actually bake. I... I'm speechless. And I want some of that bread.
rumandbass
I find it odd the way he draws. He must literally see the image on the page bc he's drawing without a structure to guide him.
AWildImgination
The method for this is to make very light sketch guidelines first, and fill in detail horizontally. It's so you don't smudge/
Ethrendil
Sorry to burst your bubble but you can see the light sketches around the nose/mouth in the first image. Artist probably uses a (1/2)
Is0phr0phyl
As an artist, unless you've had at least a little over a decade experience, you'll more than likely always lay down a guide-sketch first. <3
rumandbass
I still find it odd how he draws almost like a printer.
Ethrendil
projector to lay down guidelines from an existing photo. Still extremely impressive and talented.
pyrobob4
Thats a drawing, not a pencil.
PastaIsLife
Lol I think he meant to say Pencil art or something
mythirdusernameis
word i was confused

For being the first person to post this gif on one of my comments,
TheGoddamBatman
No, no, you're missing the point of the post; we're supposed to be focusing on the pencil.
pyrobob4
Well, damn, now that you mention it, that is a pretty bitchin pencil he has.
SryTyler
I have the same set! Derwent Graphic pencils, made in England.
SandNigga
why not both, a pencil drawing
Icomefromthelandoftheiceandsnow
obligatory: Why not Zoidberg?
ataarr
Who finds it funny anymore ? That same comment has been on every picture on the internet in the past couple of years ...
SweetAdultJesus
It's been on EVERY SINGLE PICTURE ON THE INTERNET? That, my friend, seems like an exaggeration.
ataarr
And you know it is .. yet, I have seen it thousands of times myself.
revoluzion
I refuse to believe these are not photographs
shadowgnu
I second that.
SterIingMaloryArcher
damnit this exact thought popped in my head and i was so excited to comment this. i could've been famous...
revoluzion
Haha this is my first top comment on imgur ever. Next time it will be you, Im sure (:
Nerdextrordinaire
I think that every time I see them. It's just so good. I know talented people exist, but this... THIS, is insane.
tellmeaskme
I can do this, but to be honest it requires a bit of craziness. And I prefer to do an interpretation instead of a (yes,great) copy.
sexysweetheart
I agree one hundred percent
energ1ze
He's cheating somehow. Clearly on steroids.
glasseyelashes
you know, i thought the exact same thing JUST before i read your comment.
revoluzion
Great minds think alike (:
Desiration
Believe it or not, talent exists. Look at the necklace in the 2nd completed picture. Or around the old man's lips. Obviously drawn.
ThatDragonDownTheStreet
Yes true, but the guy does it so well its hard to distinguish the difference. For all i known this guy drew part, but i'll believe its real.
revoluzion
I am not refusing talent. He obviously has tons of it. It is just my mind refuses to think those are drawings.
qkdkovu
These _are_ photographs. Of drawings.
livebackwards
We have to go deeper.
Rizor
thats what she said
james9487
I see what you did there

PastaIsLife
I refuse to believe these are photographs of drawings. They are photographs of real people. HUZZAH!
doyouevenscience
my favorite expletive. Huzzah!
qkdkovu
Ah ah ah, they are photographs... of drawings... of (possibly) real people.
qkdkovu
Arguably real though, even if they exist only on the canvas or in the artist's mind.
spareribs
I FUCKING GIVE UP OK?! I GET IT IMGUR IM A PIECE OF SHIT! IM SO DONE WITH THIS
DragonStar
He might not be able to build a house, or teach a dog to sit, or even how to tie his shoes, or do basic math. No one is good at everything.
Lupine1982
it memorial day weekend, go eat some spare ribs, you'll feel better!
THE0PHEONIX
Easy there, just take it easy, everything is gonna be alright.
GeneCode
Hey, you can't be excellent at everything. This guy is good at pencil drawing, but he probably suck at riding a bike.
coffeematemothafucka

You know what you gotta do when life gets you down?
