Magnificent Pencil Drawings of “Anamorphic Illusions”

The artist Ben Heine holding a huge gun appears to explode through a wall, while elsewhere a guy walks a tiger on a leash. These magnificent pencil drawings are the real beauty of work of 31-year-old artist Ben Heine, who lives and works in Rochefort, Belgium. The “anamorphic illusions”, part of the artist's “Pencil vs Camera” series, seem slightly distorted unless viewed from the precise same perspective in which they were created. The breathtaking sketches, done freehand before being retouched in post-production, are actually using a mixture of charcoal sticks and graphite pencils and can take up to a week to finish.
