This photo was drawn with a ballpoint pen by Samuel Silva. The 29-year old Portugal based artist is an attorney by profession. Art is his hobby. He uses just eight different colored ballpoint pens and creates photorealistic portraits of people, animals, and landscapes. Each drawing can take from 5 to 50 hours to finish. He doesn’t mix colors or blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and cannot be erased. Read more and see more of Silva’s beautiful drawings at Deviant Art.
