Meet Elorm Amegede - The astounding pencil artist in Ghana

The artist goes by the name Pencilgram on his artworks and social media.

Pencilgram is a self-taught artist, who is a master of understanding the dynamics of shade and light and translating them into powerfully detailed pencil drawings.

While his drawings fall under the description of hyper-realism, Pencilgram tends to challenge his own realism by picking perspectives that change the appearance of his subjects or refract their images.

Pencilgram draws hyper-realistic pencil artworks. He achieves the goal of hyper-realism, which is to render in art an image of photographic reliability.

He is able to masterfully capture unique aspects of human features and human emotions through observing and translating the tiny details of human appearance.

Drawing portraits already take an incredible amount of patience and skill, but Pencilgram has decided to make his task even tougher and sticks only to simple monochrome pencils.

The drawings take Pencilgram about 3 days to complete and they are some of the finest examples of hyperrealism we've seen.

For those who still think that these are some sort of trick, Pencilgram shares the work-in-progress pics of his drawings in various stages, which also reveal some insights into how he achieves that realistic look.
