  1. This is an amazing example of creative pencil drawing and also photography too! Since I was a child I always used to prefer pencil drawing instead of color pencil drawing! I didn’t know why but that actually used to happen with me!

  2. I love it and I have seen a lot of art. Photoshop or not (I DO NOT believe they were Photoshop) they are fantastic combination of drawings and real photographs. Look, alot of so called artists use photos solely as there drawing and then act as a pure copying machine. This artist used some creativity to add somethings to the photographs that were not there orginally. Great job.

    Of course they are photoshopped, they wouldn’t be able to line them up so perfectly otherwise. These are still amazing though, it takes serious talent to do this kind of stuff.

    THIS.IS.AMAZING!

  15. They’re for sure shooped. Notice that the lines sort of disappear towards the point of the drawing where you can see the photographers fingers. That’s not to say that they aren’t real drawings… They could have taken a picture of a blank piece of paper, drawn the scene later, then photoshopped it in.

      I disagree. The lines stop around the edges of the paper, most likely to keep alive the torn look. It several of the images you can see a slight shadow where the artist’s thumb bent the piece of paper slightly. I don’t believe the images are “shooped” in any way.

      regardless, it takes a talent for the drawings and the photography, and placement , you can tell with a lot of them that the are not photoshopped and even if they are it doesnt take away from the visual experience, so go find someone else to dump on, why do you have to belittle someone just for the sake of it?

  16. i think the guys zipper is open in the one picture lol. still probably the coolest thing ive ever seen

    People are haters because they are not artistic themselves. Or maybe just inadequate in other ways. I’m a horrible artist myself but i stumbled upon this and think its really awesome. The one with the photographer in the field is my favorite. Don’t listen to the shmucks because they are after all just shmucks.

    how can this be photoshop if the sketches appear to have great creativity and detail?

  28. You get over it. Avatar
    You get over it.

    I’m glad you’ve seen them so many times. This is the first time I have. nobody forced you to scroll all the way down to th bottom of the page now, did they?

    i hate these. delete photoshop from your computer and see what happens. maybe use your imagination in other ways, actually go out and sketch with a real pencil? im apalled at the amount of people who like this stuff.

      These are good because they’re imaginative, it would have been loads better if he did it with real pencil work, but that still takes skill to do on the computer.

  30. BRILLIANT THIS HAS GIVEN ME IDEAS FOR XMAS PRESENTS

  31. Beautiful visualization and detailing done while sketching:-) I wonder how much time Ben spent on sketching each one. Would love to see if there were any intermediate sketches.

  32. impressive mashallah

  33. Very Nice! I never in my life saw art like that. How is your art done like that? Kept on drawing like that. I Loves it!

    1. Thanks Serena. Glad you liked it

  34. i dont like the presence of the artists hand in the image, i would rather see more of artist, or see the pictures mounted in a float frame for a complete illusion.

  35. These are all done after taking the photo of him holding the paper. No one is capable of sketching that quickly with such details as shading and still maintaining the image they wanted…

    1. Definitely all sketching and drawing has been done after taking the photos and the artist has not said its done live while taking photos.
