Graphite - Lead Pencils made into Complex Sculptures

Artist Jarek Lenski manages to create intricate and detailed mini sculptures using the Graphite or Lead out of pencils.  Some of the miniatures, seem to be constructed by a single piece of graphite, others by sculpting components and putting them together.  Apart from a Facebook page, that contains all of his work, we have not been able to find any more information about this talented sculptor.  You have to be gifted with amazing dexterity and patience to be able to complete these delicate sculptures.  Below we have included the tools Lenski uses to carve these little marvels.  If you have any more information about him, please let us know and we will add it.

Watercolours, Graphite and Gouache Drawings and Paintings

French Artist Nabil Nezzar uses a mixture of media, to create his contemporary drawings.  Watercolours, graphite and gouache, are used to give live to drawings and paintings, focusing on different part of the bodies.  On some, he concentrates on the face, on other, the upper portion of the body, the third category includes the three quarter length portrait and finally the portions that just focus on the clothing with no heads (plus one odd one out at the end).  A variety of poses, angles and subject matter, all inspiring.

Realistic Graphite and Charcoal Drawings

Art runs in the Matthew Greskiewicz's family, with his father steering more towards Oil Paintings and his grandmother, which Greskiewicz attributes as main source of inspiration, when it comes to create art, as she has continually produced it, in one medium or another through out her life.  Using Graphite and Charcoal to create art, felt like the right choice for Greskiewicz, as he is red and green color blind.  The following is a quote from him "Perhaps even more than the process itself, I enjoy the reactions of my viewers as they slowly begin to realize these aren't photographs."

Hyper Realistic Pencil Graphite Drawings

Self Taught Artist Linda Huber, really captures the expressions of the models she draws, be them human or animal.  The drawings have to be very detailed and especially with portraits, one wrong detail can change completely the finished image, making it look, nothing like the original.  That is why Huber says she spends, on average, a month on each drawing.  She also conducts remote paid classes, where she will teach you everything she knows about pencil drawings.  Even though we have featured quite a few Hyper Realistic artists, they still really amaze us with their realistic accuracy.
