  • This Guy Is Using Pencils To Draw Unbelievably Real Portraits

    We were minding our own lane when we entered one guy’s Instagram page.

    Kelvin Okafor’s paintings are just too real for us not to share.

    Imagine our surprise when we discovered the 31-year-old actually uses just pencils for his drawings.

    That’s right! No paint, just pencils!

    In 2012, his work led him to a Threadneedle Prize exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London.

    The company that produces his favorite pencils also invited him for a trip to Germany.

    He even drew former minister of information, Prof. Jerry Gana.

    Learn more about UK-born Kelvin Okafor here and follow his Instagram for more amazing drawings. You’re welcome!
