Australian artist, Shaun Mckenzie, is able to replicate photos in the most incredible way
Shaun creates amazing hyper-realistic drawings only using colored pencils. He’s known as Neeyellow Art on his social media platforms and has gathered up a decent following.
He usually draws celebrities, YouTubers, and even some characters from movies. He uses Faber-Castell colored pencils on Stonehenge paper to create the portraits. It usually takes Shaun from 60 to 80 hours to complete one drawing, depending on the techniques he uses. His hard work really does pay off, because it’s hard to believe that his portraits are not photographs.
“I have been drawing since I was young. A few years ago, when I saw a video called ‘drawing Harry Potter’ by Heather Rooney, I was inspired and decided that I could do that as well. After a lot of failed attempts over the years, I finally managed to achieve my goals,” the artist said.
Shaun has been posting time-lapse videos and tutorials on his YouTube channel for about four years now, but he has also built an impressive following on other social media platforms, like Instagram and Twitter. It’s unclear if he is currently selling his stunning drawings or if he takes commissions, but I’m sure there are plenty of people who would pay handsomely for some of his works.
