Pencil stories: an artist creates drawings that look like photographs

Creative artist Ethan Murrow draws with simple pencil drawings that closely resemble photographs. The master's works have already gained a lot of fans.

The guy's drawings are made in gray, but due to different levels of pressure, using an eraser in the right places and playing with light and shade, real photographs are obtained. And if you just look closely, it becomes clear that these are just pencil drawings.

In his work, Ethan Murrow only needs pencils and paper. Armed with his simple tools, the artist goes headlong into creativity. Sometimes he is not even distracted by the sounds of passing cars.

The attention of those around him is attracted by the outstanding talent of the artist. A creative approach, patience and a desire to convey as much as possible everything that he sees, could not be ignored. The secret of the work lies in the spontaneity - photos are expected, but in fact these are pencil drawings.

Ethan Murrow's black-and-white world is so amazing that you want to put off all the work and plunge headlong into these drawings. This is a real journey through the unknown expanses of the artist's imagination.

As the artist notes, he begins his work with a plot. Lines and circles appear on paper by themselves. Gradually, they are transformed into geometric shapes. The latter develop into individual characters and image elements.

Ethan Murrow's work is proof that art doesn't need super materials. Enough paper and a pencil, which can be purchased on the OXO website in the section "Everything for school".
