Ballpoint pen, is often seen as a writing implement instead of a medium from which we can create art. It is a risky medium to choose because it is defined in the evidence of the skill, where one error can have catastrophic consequences. However, in artist Gareth Edwards‘s hand, it becomes an important tool to create his Parisian style drawing. With incredible patience and skill, Edwards meticulously creates portraits of such famous celebrities as Moon River, Walt Disney, Natalie Portman from “The Little Black Dress”. Usually, a single drawing will take around 2 to 3 weeks, or even longer depending upon its size. Those drawings are so realistic and you might thought those are black&white photos at the first sight. Don’t forget to watch the video at the bottom to witness Edward create the portrait on fly.
