Are they photographs? Look closer. They still look like photos. Look even closer. Yes, that's right, they're drawings. The Nigerian artist Arinze Stanley creates 'photorealistic' portraits by hand that are so realistic they may just make you jump. Can you imagine the patience, and the sheer artistic talent, that it must take to create these hyperrealistic art works? Although more than 200 hours effort are needed to complete one of these, the author says that he's so focused that he can barely notice the pencils while they fly over the drawings.
