Illustrator Challenges Reality in Awesome Video Spooky - Oddity Central
go to original September 11, 2012

Renown illustrator and author Mark Crilley demonstrates his insane drawing talent in a series of videos in which he recreates everyday objects with pencils, ball-point pens and fine paintbrushes.

Using his super skills and basic utensils he creates incredibly realistic drawn replicas of everyday stuff, like crumpled paper, a torn playing card or a mushroom. The Michigan-based artist makes great use of the trompe l’oeil technique to effectively trick your eyes into  thinking they’re looking at a real object instead of a masterful drawing.

Apart from these realism challenges, Mark also posts how-to videos for aspiring illustrators on his YouTube channel.
