Unbelievable Pencil Art by Paul Lung

I myself love pencil drawing and quiet often. I have read previous comments on here about the drawings and read in some cases read versions of disbelief in the honesty of the truefulness of the pictures,

too cute these kittens … it really looks real!

humand hand then paul lungs work is is truely amazing, absolutely magnificant.

Wow…This Awesome Pic And Great Art….

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! You are very gifted! Just absolutely awesome! I LOVE IT!

I myself love pencil drawing and quiet often. I have read previous comments on here about the drawings and read in some cases read versions of disbelief in the honesty of the truefulness of the pictures, all down to the exceptional level of skill shown. All I can say is if this work is drawn by a humand hand then paul lungs work is is truely amazing, absolutely magnificant.

Thanks drawings are impresive i my self love to draw and hope to some my drawings to be as good

bravo! I would love to see his work with people. what a great talent!

It is absolutely amazing that these images were made ​​in pencil summers! It really looks like real photos … hat the artist.

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!

Wow great draw!

Magnifique your illustrations. Congratulations for your article! Anna

Those are such an amazing pictures and I really love that kitten. I wish that I could also have such a cute and pretty cat

I love kitties.

If you had not told us they are sketches how could we have identified them as a artwork by an artist? They look soooo real that can easily be mistaken with real life photograph.

I still wonder how talented that artist was who drew these wonderful sketches!

I have been drawing with graphite pencils since i started school (I am now 30 yrs old) and i have never seen anything so AMAZING as what u can do!!! I have always said that no matter how good you are at something there will always be someone better at it but i am happy to say that you are the BEST at what you do! I now strive to be as talented and dedicated to drawing as you are

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,

Paul Lung I stayed up a bit late this night I got to work tomorrow
I am Glad I did you are one of the great possible Greatest Artist of
our modern day with Graphite.

such talent, and patience, and complete concentration, and attention to detail. Plus, as much time in the world as you need. Though, with your skill it probably doesn’t take too long. By the way, I love cats, kittens, flowers and bouquets of flowers. T

just can’t believe that these are done by a single pencil

You are a truth artis. Keep it up my friend!

Great work it! looks so amazing real

cats = perfection and this guy captured it just right.

look amazing really creative artist

Thanks Also u can tell its a pencil drawing if u look closely, there are a few little marks that you can tell were made by pencil. but at first glance they look like photos

I only want to say it is really amazing!!

Sweet photos! U have more? Really talented artist.

Lol, that’s great! Im’ very impressed because it is amazing pictures, beauty cats

I like !!!!!!! Beautiful !!!

awesome art.. simply excellent!!

Woooow, it’s amazing, beautiful cats!

Excellent art pictures.

WOW that is AMAZING. I thought they were photos at first.

Incredile work, totally awesooooooome!!!

beautiful pictures !

These are incredible pictures. Going to mention them on my webpage.

The definition and quality of the photos are great!

Really nice illustrations, great job !

so unbelievable,it looks like real cat.

wow…they are so beutiful

You don’t think you can add a signature to a photo

The cats in the snaps are looking very attractive, i liked all.

Really incredible but I believe these are side attracted. COZ The Trademark of the guy is included to the pictures. also its possible thats why.

Great pictures really like this

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.

thank for pictures cute cats,very much!

nice blognot believe my own eyes ,I am very lucky and privileged to see these amazing art works . simply unbelievable to ! I want this cat now!

Please post more pictures when you have t

These are really mazing pcitures and I have never seen such pictures earlier in my life. Excellent artist who have crafted such nice images looking absolutely genuine and real. My cat is playing with my rc helicopters every day

very nice and impressive.

Ca c’est du gros matou

i don’t understand the point of an artist copying photographs. it never impresses me. this is not art, merely copying. my scanner can do that.

A wonderful mastery of technique…but why bother when photography achieves the same effect much more quickly. I would like to see captured more of cat essence than cat image.

Wow, this is so cool, you can even say. Talent is very good.. Great future ahead

such a sweet cat.I like it so much.

Cute! I like your pencil drawing skill.

wow ……. so beautiful ~~

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.

Paul Lung is one of the best artist I have ever seen. These drawings are unbelievable. Thanks a lot for sharing them.

Sweet photos! U have more? Really talented artist.

These are amazing!!! Also u can tell its a pencil drawing if u look closely, there are a few little marks that you can tell were made by pencil. but at first glance they look like photos!

Very nice pictures, good work

That is amazing. Who knew that humans can do these incredible things!

realy supb ……..

How cute. I really like these pics. The various shades of black and white are really incredible.

That is absolutely amazing. Before I read the title of the post I thought they were photos.

Really unbelievable but I believe these are hand drawn. COZ The Signature of the dude is added to the images. also its possible thats why.

The cats in the snaps are looking very attractive, i liked all.

Some people just have a talent that most people don’t.

after photoshop if you pen up a classic windows paint you can easily add a signature.

its really fabulous and extraordinary

I think you are very talented. Really good… I like cats!
Amazing article… Great photo’s!

As he often admits people do not belive him and he has to make videos of his work to prove that these art works are not photographs.

As he often admits people do not belive him and he has to make videos of his work to prove that these art works are not photographs. Check these beautiful artworks by yourself.

Really unbelievable but I believe these are hand drawn. COZ The Signature of the dude is added to the images. also its possible thats why.

I cannot believe that it is possible with pencil …

The blur, for example, can be achieved simply by swiping your finger over the line. Is a technique that I normally use if you want one of my drawings I have posted on my blog.

Great pictures! I really like cats and this pictures are superb!!

Super cute cats…

These are some amazing pictures.

Master class work. Do I see some reverse technique in there? You and Hillberry could change the general view of pencil. Keep it up.

Excellent post! The artist who have crafted such nice images looking absolutely genuine and real. My cat is playing with my rc helicopters every day and play with my another dog

IS that by Pencil?Wow unbelievable

Tell you the fact ,I’m also a cat person.It’s really cute.

First kitty looks like my cat …same eyes and face.

This is Something Very Special i seen before awesome work.

oh god oh god oh gooooooooooooooooooooooddddddd how is this possible its amazing

This is fabulous,indeed a whao,dat work done by an extraodinarily endowed art icon.Am makin u my mentor.Man i dey hail u 4 here.

thanks a lot for that unbelievable article !

The blog is absolutely fantastic. Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need. Thanks.

Why cats, they are so adorable!!!

Impresionante, solo el ultimo me deja dudas, no veo el rastro del grafiti como en los demas, aun asi, es fantastico el trabajo de este hombre.

These are simply amazing!!

Simply unbelievable!!! You are really a champion!!!

wah! Beautiful

Simply amazing. Only can be drawn by a Genius.

i m lou it

These are some amazing sketches.I neva seen anything like these before.He is simply awesome.

looks amazing thanks for sharing this.

It’s mostly a matter of how good your copying and blending skills are. We mostly did it to make us stop obsessing over making our drwings look like photos; by the time you finish copying a photo this way you are by gum ready to CREATE something, if you have any imagination. They are pretty–but I’d just as soon have the photo.

i had a great love for cats… i already have two with me… my cochi pooo’s…. amazing work…thanks!

That is just fantabolous piece of work How cute those cats are by the way. And really unbelieveable work by the artist.

Hi Paul,

I have no words to express my feelings. I wish you create lot more & keep surprising your fans.

Regards
Ameeth

Really, in some of these , its almost impossible to tell that they arent photos. Hats off!

these are simply amazing. I would love to see his work with people. what a great talent.

this is one of the amazing art and I have never come across such pictures. Great job done by a highly talented artist.

such talent, and patience, and complete concentration, and attention to detail. Plus, as much time in the world as you need. Though, with your skill it probably doesn’t take too long. By the way, I love cats, kittens, flowers and bouquets of flowers. Thanks a million for sharing ~ and God Bless You always…….

These really are fantastic examples pencil. My favourite is the cat example. Great design.

I myself love pencil drawing and quiet often. I have read previous comments on here about the drawings and read in some cases read versions of disbelief in the honesty of the truefulness of the pictures, all down to the exceptional level of skill shown. All I can say is if this work is drawn by a humand hand then paul lungs work is is truely amazing, absolutely magnificant.

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.

I was thinking. White whiskers – wow! I am also impressed with the studio portrait style, as if these animals were “sitting” for him. So amazing. Time to break my pencils, pens and brushes…

unbeliveable

I am also impressed with the so vivid pictures. Really talented artist.

Are you kidding me this is gorgeous! I thought it was a photograph!

Wow.. Splendid, this is really a awesome work, the shine of pencil is looking real. I love your art.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, pictures are more than just copying photographs the expressions are absolutely wonderful and the lion’s hairdo is absolutke beautiful, he looks so bewildered.

First kitty looks like my cat …same eyes and face.

They really are beautiful Great pictures !!!

why he draw just cats?no more animals?

Lovely drawing … can believe it can be done by hand

Unbelievable

Take a lot of time to be perfect pencil art. When an artist is rushed with a project, it usually comes out sloppy.

nu am cuvinte….superb

poul lung is amaiziiiiiiiiiiiiiig

I am also impressed with the so vivid pictures.

They’re so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me???? Looks like black and white photos!

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

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.

It is so cute and i liked all the photos..

what a sweet pussycats:D

What lovely kittens! They really are beautiful!!

amazingly amazing , jxt amazingly amazing

these are amazing drawings. so lifelike. great artist!!

ah!wat can l say,just shake my head

These are amazing,realy great

Hola ! Really great and unbelievable pencil art. Amazing cats thanks a lot for this.

hello Not offending anyone but after photoshop if you pen up a classic windows paint you can easily add a signature.

wooow this is simply amazing, what a genius!

Did you notice the white eyebrows on the cats? How does he do that with a black pencil? The skill and foreplanning are amazing.

I have been drawing with graphite pencils since i started school (I am now 30 yrs old) and i have never seen anything so AMAZING as what u can do!!! I have always said that no matter how good you are at something there will always be someone better at it but i am happy to say that you are the BEST at what you do! I now strive to be as talented and dedicated to drawing as you are. I doupt if i will ever reach that level though YOU ARE THE BEST! Absolutley amazing!

I like that pictures. they are sooo cute i like kitties so much Michaela

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.

soo coollllllllllllllll

love the cats, im a artist myself, im not very good, im 10 years old and everyone says i can be a really good artist when im older, like i said very good art

Simply amazing art

Amazing arts, beautiful pencils, thanks

This man really deserves a round of applause.
What a beautiful art hands he got there?

I love how there are all the cats displayed with different emotional facial expressions. Truly a masterpiece!

Not offending anyone but after photoshop if you pen up a classic windows paint you can easily add a signature.

i think your art is amazeing when i grow up i want to draw like you right now i am jest practing im realy good but i want to be perfict like you

That is simply an unbelievable piece of art! WOW!

Is it possible to contact the artist somehow?

These are amazing!!! Also u can tell its a pencil drawing if u look closely, there are a few little marks that you can tell were made by pencil. but at first glance they look like photos! How does he do it

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.

theese drawings are impresive i my self love to draw and hope to some my drawings to be as good as theese……..

dey r awsm… i wanna learn it, wil any1 teach me pls…

Wonderful pencil art. Sorry, I’m no talent in arts by I do appreciate them.

Really great and unbelievable pencil art. Amazing cats thanks a lot for this.

Paul Lung is one of the best artist I have ever seen. These drawings are unbelievable. Thanks a lot for sharing them.

What?? these are drawings? I thought they are photos. really masterpiece

Fascinating. It’s lovely. It’s very nice pencil painting. I’m not a good artist but I do appreciate arts.

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.

Are you all saying that these are actually done with a pencil!? This guy is a genius.

What?? these are drawings? I thought they are photos. really masterpiece

i don’t understand the point of an artist copying photographs. it never impresses me. this is not art, merely copying. my scanner can do that.

Wow this person amazing at drawing. I wish I can draw like that I mean this is real art.

such talent, and patience, and complete concentration, and attention to detail. Plus, as much time in the world as you need. Though, with your skill it probably doesn’t take too long. By the way, I love cats, kittens, flowers and bouquets of flowers.

. If this type of artwork doesn’t impress you, then I feel sorry for your-to me strange-outlook on the matter.

Have a look at the treatment of people’s hair, compared to how he “renders” fur. Not remotely the same level of “technical expertise”.

say this is because that when u look at a pic on the computer screen and u can’t believe that its not a picture, then that just shows u how good the artist is. It’s easier to tell if its a portriat or not if u look at it in person. I think these are all done by hand.

Really great art!

I was thinking. White whiskers – wow! I am also impressed with the studio portrait style, as if these animals were “sitting” for him. So amazing. Time to break my pencils, pens and brushes…

Excellent artist who have crafted such nice images looking absolutely genuine and real. My cat is playing with my rc helicopters every day .

If you think this is “easy,” then I’d like to see you produce something half as good. The artist is a genius. Show some respect.

Is that really pencil work? Cause to me, it looks like the original photographs which have been turned black and white via photoshop!

They are very very good. However, they are totally different from his cat “drawings”. Have a look at the treatment of people’s hair, compared to how he “renders” fur. Not remotely the same level of “technical expertise”

Those are some of the most awesome pictures I’ve ever seen. His is a rare talent indeed

The pencil art looks so life like..amazing. Keep up the good work.

ya It’s un beliveable

This is such a wonderful art. I’ve never seen cat arts like this before. You must really love cats to make them as a subject.

Very good pencil art. It looks so real.

Wow, that is some of the best pencil work that I have ever seen!

Cool pictures with cat..look like is near me!Great artworks!

best pic of this puss ever

Its look great nice work dude

splendid.. i love art and have pretty much sense to observe .. this is really unbelievable pencil work. appreciate you.

To the people who want to know how he does the white eyebrows–it’s called negative space, you use the pencil to darken the area around whatever you want to be white.
Alos, to everyone–yes it’s real, and tho it’s much better than most can do, this is a style called photo-realism and it was new way back in the 60′s, when there was no photoshop (Google early Chuck Close). We were made to do it in college drawing classes; you can make a grid and transfer what you see in each square or even easier use an opaque projector to put it up on the wall and draw off the pattern, then fill in per shade of gray or color, like a paint by number.

have two cats and I draw too and always look at others artwork to help better mine and I think your drawings are gorgeous!

last picture is very nice

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.

Why? Ask yourself why he performs his drawings at a large scale (A2 paper). At this scale he can add easily more details to his drawings. Once he puts his drawings on web, on a reduced scale, they always would appear like photographs. Anyway, he is a great artist with a tremendous 3D view and a great patience.

first photo it’s amazing, i really like that cat’s

Great artwork, ages ago I used to trace negative from a projector, had some interesting result.

Great work of art. Thanks for share. Artist of the art is mind blowing.

no way!! they look like photographs. Massive respect for the artist =)

Amazing…it’s really awesome.i love to watch pencil sketches all the time but now i got the real pencil sketches…hats off to you paul…u r really great….

Hey the cats are very sweet.

These are really great drawings. It’s worth to publish it. It is unbelievable only made in just pencil.

These are really mazing pcitures and I have never seen such pictures earlier in my life. Excellent artist who have crafted such nice images looking absolutely genuine and real. My cat is playing with my rc helicopters every day

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.

its very cute pussy, i didnt even think that this made by pencil drawing.. how do you make it?

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool i cant believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!

I’m an pencil artist myself. I’ve done portraits of my daughter and others in just pencil. I have also been told the same thing about a few of my pics.” That its a picture and not some thing I drew” the reason I say this is because that when u look at a pic on the computer screen and u can’t believe that its not a picture, then that just shows u how good the artist is. It’s easier to tell if its a portriat or not if u look at it in person. I think these are all done by hand.

how long you have learn to like that

I do not understand how some ppl say they hate cats!

the pics of cats are really Awesome in dark colours and i really like these posts

i love cats and this blog really looking so beautiful thanks for cute cats pic sharing

I have never seen such pictures earlier in my life. Excellent artist who have crafted such nice images looking absolutely genuine and real.

I am amazed, well not really… I strongly believe he works from photographs and that just takes the magic away…

These are some amazing sketches.I neva seen anything like these before.He is simply awesome.

What a talented artist produced these lovely drawings.

It would be a task to take B&W photos so detailed and full of the cats’ character. Sir you are a genius, a prodigy.

Unbelievable talent. These images are even better than real life – if that’s possible!

good jop !

Amazing . Keep It Up .

this is really great.some are born great thanks for shearing this pictures.encourgements.

Love these pictures, this is real art work , a true photographer knows when to capture and show details of living art, pictures above have these qualities

Wonderful to see graphite realism from a devoted cat lover. Your fur textures are glorious and I like the soft edges you use sometimes to contrast with their very defined faces, they give a lot of depth. Gorgeous work!

Wow – three words, beautiful! beautiful! beautiful!

How on earth was this created?

Just fake, if real; it is wastage of time.

Im an art student myself and believe me, if i can ever draw like that, i will be in art heaven. These peices are so wow…

Man I love your pieces. would like to improve my pencil work also. wat tools do you put to use

Oops! My last comment should have read “apart from erasing, there are only……”. Notwithstanding that, my comments about achieving negative shapes holds firm. So saying I still really like and admire Paul’s work. The cat images are beautiful, but they are definitely not 100% pencil. To my trained eye, they are photos, enhanced with a few deft pencil strokes here and there. The images are very effective and very skilfully done, but the vast difference in style between his cats and his portraits says it all: the portraits are 100% pencil drawn, the cats are not. An artist doesn’t really have two drawing styles, one for one subject and one for another, any more than a singer sings in two different styles. So for those of you who are downhearted about your own drawing abilities after seeing Paul’s work: don’t be!

There are only two ways of getting white lines on a dark background: leave them out and draw around them, or scratch them out. Drawing around things like whiskers is a little crude and is immediately apparent. Please look at the art of Peter Hildick. He is one of the best and most commercially successful of all pencil artists, but he can’t get remotely close to the detail Paul Lung achieves.

Scratching out leaves a line with a crisp, hard edge. The soft edges of individual hairs apparent on Paul’s drawings mean would be impossible to achieve (even with a 0.5 mechanical pencil).

Have a look at Paul’s portrait drawings. They are very very good. However, they are totally different from his cat “drawings”. Have a look at the treatment of people’s hair, compared to how he “renders” fur. Not remotely the same level of “technical expertise”. On the portraits, you can clearly see where individual hairs were left out and/or scratched. It’s immediately apparent, and is typical of pencil work.

The cats are terrific images and I really like them. But I’m afraid they were not drawn with any kind of pencil.

i had a great love for cats… i already have two with me… my cochi pooo’s…. amazing work…thanks!

I love these Cats. I am a cat lover and have a persian cat at my home

Great pic.

Great
loved it, will be waiting for your future posts
Thank you for sharing

thank you for sharing

I’m amazed by two things: the incredible talent of the artist, and (unfortunately) the negative comments from some. Does it make you feel good to denigrate the work of another? Those who assume it is ‘easy’, regardless of scale, need to go right ahead and duplicate it for themselves…if they can. Somehow I doubt their efforts will be remotely as accurate and beautiful. Also, artists DO work from nature (live models) and also employ photographs as reference. Attempting to be condescending by saying you’d be impressed only if he simply invented things that don’t exist, marks the writer as artistically (and technically) ignorant.

Beautiful, meticulous work.

really awesome art!

I like what you did with the sketch. It look interesting.

Wow .. cute!

Hey Kitty Kitty Kitty!

These are wonderful. Myself, I draw portraits using pencil.

I love your wordpress design, where you down load it from? Thanks in advance!

Good work. I like what you did with the sketch. It look interesting.

These are in fact really nice pictures.
I like these especially their graphics.

I CAN DRAW A LITTLE

It is very beautiful.
I like these pictures very much.

Mind Blowing, some of them are look real.Fantastic drawing art.

looks real. and you can add a signature in paint before you photoshop a picture lol

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.

waw,you are grate,I like your art,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Love It

A wonderful mastery of technique…but why bother when photography achieves the same effect much more quickly. I would like to see captured more of cat essence than cat image.

awesome, really unbelievable!!!

Incredible artwork!! It’s definitely hard to belief.Congrats to your great success.
Well done bro!!

unbelievable works. Awesome. this art win my heart. GREAT!

such talent, and patience, and complete concentration, and attention to detail. Plus, as much time in the world as you need. Though, with your skill it probably doesn’t take too long. By the way, I love cats, kittens, flowers and bouquets of flowers. Thanks a million for sharing ~ and God Bless You always.

holy God… !!! … !!! … I feel terrible … want to cry … if I can get to this standard of drawing… because this is simply MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congratulate friend…great work!

Unfortunately, these images are traced from photographs. My question to him is… Why not just take a black and white photograph…

Great work of drawings, Paul. I’m sure these aren’t photo shopped. Visit http://www.pencil-drawing-idea.com/ to rate mine. I’m a beginner in pencil drawings.

Amazing! Yes! Unbelievable? Believe it.
You must bear in mind the fact that “the eye” can be easily deceived. A painture or a drawing must be seen always from distance. On web, its drawings seem to be photographs. Why? Ask yourself why he performs his drawings at a large scale (A2 paper). At this scale he can add easily more details to his drawings. Once he puts his drawings on web, on a reduced scale, they always would appear like photographs. Anyway, he is a great artist with a tremendous 3D view and a great patience. He seems to be a perfectionist; details make all the job. The rest is skill.

amazing god gift.

Fantastic collection! a pleasure to view!

Technically copying is the easiest form…now if he drew things that didn’t exist I’d be impressed

To Paul Lung I say thankyou. You inspired me to continue with my drawing, and you showed me that patience pays off. You truly are a rare find. To anyone out there who really believes he is a fake, I ask you to stop ruining it for those of us who see the beauty put into these piece of art.

As I guess you know my point was: “dont through with stones if you live in a glass house” (Danish way of saying), and “treat others like you want to be treated”. Not because I want to accuse the author of this thread; just a general comment to how one should behave in life

Good collection. Thanks

Это великолепно!

@dick

Because he loves cats. The last one looks like a real picture!! My God! I wonder how long each of them took him to draw.

i want to be like him..

I’m just a nobody, but your art is AMAZING!!! What a talent God gave you. Do you sell these?

Oh my God..this is amazing

Drawings or photos, either way it is wonder works and adorable subjects.

Wwowoowwowoo! Amazing coll!!!

waooo, it’s amazing i’ve never seen art work like this in my life time, truly freaking

Amazing, can you tell me what kind of pencil grade do you use?

nice shading, completely possible with a steady hand, what is it with this dude and cats…creepy creatures, and an odd artist haha

Omg you guys I no everytihng about fotoshop and thes are definetly shoppd. I can tell by teh pixels in the photos and that they are to real to be pencil. You ppl are all so dum for thinkin that these are real. Omg definetly shopped for sure. Im an expert and i can tell.

why he draw just cats?no more animals?

Realy, great!

can he draw anything OTHER than cats?!

Someone Likes Cats???

Absolutely beautiful i’m inspired!

this guy loves pussy

where tha white women at?

Holy mackeral!! This is perfection, almost. Seriously, it’s the best I have ever seen. Wow!

i don’t understand the point of an artist copying photographs. it never impresses me. this is not art, merely copying. my scanner can do that.

This wonderful art has made me speechless. Short of words to praise it. Simply awesome!

Amazing, well done!

Before commenting – please read UPDATE at the description this post!

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.

Amazing, but hard to really comprehend without a blow-up showing the extent of the detail.

Amazing! Thanks!

Estan increibles, aun no puedo creer que esten hechas a lapiz, este tipo es un genio, mis respetos, son verdaderas obras de arte.

OMG, lad, just OMG…

I don’t care how he did it, whether he copied it or not, the man is a genius and you can’t take that away from him !!!

WORK SUCH AS THIS BELONGS IN MUSEUMS. WORDS OF PRAISE CANNOT DESCRIBE THE PERFECTION OF THE ARTIST.IT’S DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND HOW THE ARTIST WAS GIVEN SUCH A GIFT.JUST IMAGINE THE ABILITY TO CREATE SUCH BEAUTY!!

Dude.. I just can’t believe it’s hand drawn. Some of those pictures are not, I mean those pictures without the signature. It’s really impossible. If it’s true then that man must have a lot of patience!!! wack!

I think he draws well.

awasom its look like camera pics, its great art

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.

These definitely look hand drawn. Exceptionally hand drawn.

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.

wow..it’ is awesome x1000

Oh my god, this is awesome

speechless makes my ink and watercolor work look quite poor

Am simply Wordless!!!!!!! A real wonder……..

OMG!!! Very very nice. its really Unbelievable. you deserve a prize and respect for this.

what an amazing collection of drawings. So hard to believe they are actually drawn by hand and not photographs.
Rebecca

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is truly talanted. I really liked the cat with the bow tie.

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.

Theres this finnish guy whos drawings are also pretty cool and awesome.

The dude which i am talking about is matti kataja, if go and check his homepage. http://www.mattikataja.com/

Awww .. absolutely stunning!

I venture to guess you could also use hundreds of dollars of your good time by using an etching tool and burnisher to slowly and tediously hand carve a replica of a penny, but why?

taken from photographs. Still nice work.

All I can say is wow!

Amazing, what patience you must have. To be that zoned to concentrate and interpret your vision in such a way.

Stupendous brilliant talent

came for three wolves shirt, leaving disappointed

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.

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.

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.)

So how are these “drawings” related to the images at this link?

http://www.lumas.de/?id=618&type=0&wid=1071&artist=592&ed=

So are these really drawings of the photos at the link or are these outright stolen images being presented here as pencil drawings?

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.

Those are some of the most awesome pictures I’ve ever seen. His is a rare talent indeed

Great artist!

All what is written here about pencil drawings from Paul Lung is a very big lie and extremly outrageous!
These are photos from the german photographer ALEXANDER VON REISWITZ!! follow this link: http://www.lumas.de/?id=618&type=0&wid=1071&artist=592&ed=
and you will see.

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.

Wow, this is almost as good as the ones I have done!
Keep practicing, one day you will be as good as me!!

Technically copying is the easiest form…now if he drew things that didn’t exist I’d be impressed.

The 4 with signatures are real drawings. The others are not.

I Can’t Belive it & How Can Possible it I Don’t Know? Only God Knows What Is Reality.Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha……..Anyway, Thanks a Lot. I Want To See The Artist.

these are so beautiful and AMAZING!!

EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!! Can’t even be explained how beautiful!!!!!

I think this collection is fake

His work is just spectacular!

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!!!!!

Verified fake.

I would like to see the video while he takes these photos

with a little lsd this dude cold be a legend

Incredible but TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!! I would very much like to contact the artist. Can anyone link me to him (or her)? thanks in advance.

You are all Idiots, Its not real , just photoshopped …

Thank you!

I am AMAZED. Period.

MY GOD. AMAZING. THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN IN PENCIL!!!

Very good. Also very boring.

wow…… what gr8 work…. it’s really unbelievable…. anybody know where i can see the video.

BRAVO!!!!THIS IS A REAL ARTIST!

wow some off the best stuff iv ever seen

Amazing!
Some of these look like photos, they’re so real!

Keep it up! ^.^

pretty good to bad he wastes his time drawing fag cats instead of something cool
