5 Unbelievable Drawings That Look Like Photographs

While a camera only mirrors what lies in front it, these talented souls go a step further and mimic reality. They work their magic that’s in their hands and add an extra something that makes these images stand out of the ordinary.

They are so flawless at imitating life and creation, that it’s hard to believe that the images are in fact paintings and sketches, and NOT the work of a machine. This art-form is known as hyper-realism or photo-realism.

Here are 5 amazing hand-drawn images that look like photographs, done by extremely talented artists:

The hyperrealistic works of the German artist are truly fascinating as he tries to capture a person’s ‘presence’ and ‘ specific inner self.’ Through his detailed work, he aspires to frame a story for his audience to sit back and listen, as if it were music.
