Sounds confusing right? To capture a live image you need a camera or a recorder. What would you say if we told you this pictures below are not images that are taken by a camera but in fact they are hand drawings by a Scotland based artist Paul Cadden ?
Can’t blame you if you don’t believe us because we are having difficult times believing it ourselves.
Cadden creates “hyper-realistic” portraits and landscapes, which so resemble real life that the subjects seem to come alive. He somehow manages to capture every detail whether drawing water droplets, or creating skin wrinkles.
In an interview with the UK-based newspaper, Cadden states that his “inspiration comes from the phrase ‘to intensify the normal’.” He further said:
“I try to study the internal aspect of the image rather than focusing solely on the external part. I can fall in love with an image — if that doesn’t sound too hippy”.
Taking an average of between three and six weeks to produce, Cadden creates about seven pieces each year – which usually come in A1 or A0 sizes – and sell at galleries for up to £5,000 each.
