Artists Books Research 7

Portrait Drawings





Paul Lung, a Hong Kong based graphic designer doesn't even use an eraser – all he needs is a 0.5 mm technical pencil, A2 paper and some time..Well, about 60 hours! (I don’t want to brag, but I could do the same thing in a minute with my camera).
His works are so photorealistic that people often don’t believe the pictures are not actual photographs. Paul even has to document his work process in order to prove his exceptional skills.
Paul Lung has always been an inspiration to me since I first discovered his work. I take interest in artists which can portray photograph looking drawings as I think it takes immense skill to be able to pull off the picture look. I'm a great fan of his work due to the amount of detail and even the use of simple black and white drawings without any use of colour. I'd love to be able to recreate my images in a way that they almost look like they were real photographs.
