This is simply amazing work. This has to be the finest example of pencil photorealism I have ever seen. No matter how many times or how closely I look at it I simply can not tell it's a drawing. It looks exactly like a real photo. This is just too cool for words....freakin crazy detail.

Brilliant work +fav

Who could tell? I don't think anyone would know the difference if he put it under the photography tier.

If I didn't know better, I would say this was a photograph. The detail and the hair (Both facial and non) is wonderful, and I also like the wrinkles in the face. Great job.

... remarkable... my hands would turn into a black graphite mess if I attempted anything close to this...

... I assume you must go through a couple cases of fixative per portrait... do you start with white paper, or a neutral gray and scratch in your whites?
