The art lies in the artists’ hand and eye and not in instruments they use. This fact is perhaps most visible in the art of Paul Lung. Using just lead and graphite pencils he has created sketches that rival high definition Black and White images. The sheer amount of detail that lies in his sketches is astounding. His hard work and pursuit of perfection is apparent from the effort that goes into each of his sketches. At times spending more than 100 hours on a single sketch, Paul makes no compromises when it comes to translating his vision.

The result is a series of amazing portraits of loved ones and drawings of cats (he does seem to have a soft spot for them) that defy belief. His sketches are imbued with a life of their own when he draws people that are close to him. Same goes for his pets whom he adores. His emotions reflect through his art.

Here are some of his works. Enjoy !
