Man can be deceived by what he sees by men who have talent, expertise and grasp over their skills.
And this is what British artist Kelvin Okafor exactly does by drawing portraits with pencils - but it takes an expert eye to differentiate these from an actual photograph to a pencil drawn portrait.
Kelvin's art work shows his extraordinary skills of pencil drawings, created purely by hand — with no digital trickery.
Kelvin Okafor, whose only tools are a set of pencils, a piece of paper and the occasional stick of charcoal (though most of the pictures don’t even require that). Yet no matter how closely one looks, there’s not a pencil line in sight.

Kelvin says about his art work:
‘I draw in sections. I’m right-handed so I work from left to right. After I’ve finished the left eye, I work the nostrils, then the left side of the cheek, then the lips. I always work in that order. I work for four hours in one go, take a half-hour break, work another four to five hours, then have another half-hour break. After that I’ll work for as long as I can. Sometimes I might work ten to 15 hours in one day. It takes me on average 80 to 100 hours to do a portrait.’Watch the video below as to how Kelvin creates his masterpieces:
