Yes… it would be impossible to add a signature to a photograph using Photoshop. Homo habilis says, “What?” Snide remarks aside, they are beautifully drawn. The cat wearing a bow tie is my personal favorite.

and to those who don’t believe. He posts legit WIPS. And yes it’s possible. And guess what? There’s even BETTER out there as well. It’s not impossible =/ Yes, there are A LOT of fakes out there, but then again there are a LOT of real good artists, like this one, who put their time and patience into their drawings to make them look realistic. That’s the problem these days, people can use photoshop to make their photos look like drawings, and they go off saying they drew it.
Then people find out about it, and they start to question every good realism artist out there! ALL BECAUSE OF A BUNCH OF LIARS! cheaters! jealous idiots who want attention!

Did you notice the white eyebrows on the cats? How does he do that with a black pencil? The skill and foreplanning are amazing.
Cats are way more interesting. And the Tiger is fabulous!

I would love to spend an hour just watching him. Once knew an artist, John Gnagy, that could paint Realism so well that the first time I went to his home I saw just how good he was at it. In the entryway there was photograph of an ear of corn, just a plain ear of corn. Now I am a professional photographer and I thought that it was a photograph. Wondered why a painter of his stature (at the time0 would have such a plain photograph, even tho it was excellent by any standard. I am sure by now you all have guessed it, he had painted it and I couldn’t tell it was painted!!!!!

The work displayed is here is simply incredible! To the naysayers here, one of my brothers-in-law is extremely talented and also used to do pencil sketches similar to these, and although the technique he uses is different, the final product almost looks like a photograph! He created his drawings using only dots but stopped doing it because it took so long to do.

Just because the images are ripped from another artist doesn’t mean they’re not actually drawings. The way to get this kind of “realism” is to copy photographs. I believe that they’re drawings, just don’t believe that they’re original art, or that the act of drawing them makes them more interesting than photographs.

Not really “drawing” by the strictest meaning of the word — He’s essentially copying the dot-spray of a photo printer. He does spend a lot of time doing it, but a lot of these images are familiar photographs that have been duplicated. The best you could do is call this *really* fine pointillism.
Good work, but I’d like to see originals instead of duplicates of photos. Copying the fine dot pattern of a print-out requires dedication, but not necessarily talent.

A friend of mine gave me this link, http://www.lumas.de/?id=618&type=0&wid=1071&artist=592&ed It appears the first several works that appear here are actually the photos of Alexander Von Reiswitz. (Notice Lund’s signature is not on those) If those first several are indeed Lund’s drawings, done from those same photos, then the source of the images should be credited, IMO. (I suspect, however, that they are simply misplaced, mistagged images.)

one of the techniques to doing this art is to start with the lightest / hardest pencil leads and draw the image as dark as posssible. Then take the next softer lead and go over the drawing as dark as it will go. This is continued until you end up with the softest leads. The process is very time consuming but allows the leads to build on each other and become darker than otherwise possible. How do I know? I used to do the same thing and spend a hundred hours on a single image.

Second to none technical skill. Photo-realism is always neat but not at all artistic. What is being said here except “look how real these look”. Yay.

why reproduce someone else’s composition in graphite? Waste of time. Not even that impressive as graphite. I went to art school and there are many students who are good with a pencil and a lot of time. If it were painted, that might be a bit more impressive, but when you’re copying shade for shade, point for point – it’s basically a “fill in the space” type of deal. The originals were even in grayscale already.

These pieces are very, very good, so I don’t want to take away from that… but in a way, you do make a very good point.
If you took a giant sheet of paper with nothing but a billion little boxes in it, and then the original photographs of the same dimensions, and just filled in the right boxes on the blank page, you would emulate the originals very easily.
It’s true that it would be extremely time consuming, and that not everyone might have a steady-enough hand to do so, but that’s what it is.

This is not art. He is merely copying a photograph, which requires technical skill, but not artistic talent. Sorry. It does show extreme dedication to detail, though.

Boring subjects… it’s just copying someone’s nature photography, practically like those hobbyist “artists” who do pet portraits, but to the nth degree. I’d be interested to see what he could do with that amazing technical skill if he did some creative conceptualizing instead.

It’s comical to read some of the comments here. All those authoritative theories about pixels and white pencils and so on. In reality, Paul doesn’t know how some of these pictures got here and he says he didn’t draw them. He did draw the cats – the ones with signatures. I’ve seen his drawings in progress, and he draws with a pencil using lines, not ulta-fine grid and pixels or anything, a little erasing sometimes. You can ask him yourself. He’s on facebook, artpapa, deviantart, twitter and youtube. A while ago he posted a youtube video for us mid-drawing of one of the cats.
