Sketch Fight - Pencil Vs Camera

Collaboration with my friend Sébastien Del Grosso. I drew him in my style (left side) and he drew me in his style (right side). You can find posters, canvases and nice derivatives of this artwork at this link and you can also view my sketch in progress here below. © 2014 Ben Heine

Pencil Vs Camera - 74

Pencil Vs Camera - 74 © Ben Heine| Buy a print

My new giant 3D drawing featuring a tiger and an owl in a dense forest. It is part of my "Pencil Vs Camera" series (the concept is reversed in this image, the only piece of reality in the composition being the human model...). The wild animals and the forest are actually anamorphic sketches drawn on a huge piece of paper in my studio, no more, no less than optical illusions.

A quiet tiger, a scary owl and an imprudent artist, maybe an unexpected trio. I took the photo (using a tripod and a self timer) and also made the giant sketch (handmade, as usual). View the sketch in progress and some details here below to understand how it is made. New: find some prints of mine for sale (including the above picture) or some fun products and gifts with many of my other designs.

Flesh and Acrylic
Caroline Madison - 3
.
(See it on DeviantArt)

85% of madness, a fantastic model, 15 liters of acrylic... Model: The one and only Caroline Madison. I took the picture with my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I love it! As you can see in the making here below, I've used different light sources, that's why the shadows go in different directions. I need to get more powerful spotlights for my studio... It's already my 3rd Flesh and Acrylic work with Caroline. See the other ones.
