Photo Realistic Drawings

via Yahoo!News

I didn't really know where to put this, so, here it is.

Apologies for leaving the pics large, but, they are amazing.

To an untrained eye these pictures would look nothing more than standard photographs but it's not all black and white - they are in fact hand drawn. These are the works of 47-year-old hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden, who, often just using a pencil, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail.

Remember: These are drawings.

My only quibble is, he needs a darker pencil or something. The contrast is all off and everything just looks gray in the complex ones, like the guys on the street.

Yey! Found it :) I was looking for this thread t'other night to show my bro and couldn't remember the title for searching :p Looked in all categories...except Creative Expression. Doh!

kind of hard to believe that they are really drawings.. they look soooo real..

The one with the guy w/water running down his face still amazes me.

Is that the pothead olympian Phelps?

No, I don't think so.
