Pencil Vs Camera - 74

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.

Choose Peace, not violence! Bringing a different 3D effect in my Pencil Vs Camera series. This is more of an experimental work for my future projects. Parts of the paper have been cut in the last steps to give a stronger 3D illusion. Notes: The thin paper was moving each time I was adding charcoal/pencil strokes due to a small space between the wall and paper. That was making it more difficult to draw. I'll place the large paper on the floor for more stability next time I do a similar project. View the sketch in progress here below (6 steps).

Don’t cry baby, you were born in a scary world, you’d better get used to it. Every life has its own little dramas and we're all scary in some ways. You are a flower, remember. Don't cry, little man.

Featuring my friend Davide Gentile. He is an Italian film director. This is a "Pencil Vs Camera" work I made near Braives' church. He is holding a camera with a huge lens (it's not a futuristic gun, lol). If you wish, you can view a detail here.

There is a baby in everyone of us. I actually wanted to draw the little child inside her head, but I finally decided to make it become the flower of an imaginary plant, still connected to the precious woman. Dedicated to Marta. Please, see the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album.

Checkmate :) The Queen takes the King! I took this picture under a church in Oia, Greece, I also made the rough drawing on paper. I used to play chess every day some time ago... I intended to draw a skull ring, I finally opted for a knot ring... See the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album

I took this photo in England and also made the rough sketch.
That's just an idea, my next work will be more crazy, hopefully.

This is a real fire, a real drawing, a real piece of paper, real fingers... only ashes are left. I took this photo 2 days ago and also made the very rough sketch. This is dedicated to all the people suffering in the world. Thanks for watching.
