Amazing Pencil Drawings By Diego Fazio ..

Diego Fazio was born in Czech Republic, now he resides in Italy. Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai, Diego Fazio started his career as a tattoo artist, ending up creating own pencil and chalk drawing technique. What’s more exciting is that Diego draws like an ink printer, starting from top left corner of canvas. Diego Fazio uses only pencils and chalks. He spends around 200 hours on each painting. He won the NonfermArti Audience Award for Best Artist in 2011. You can easily confuse Diego’s paintings with black-and-white photographs, so no wonder, lots of skeptics doubt authenticity of his works.

What we love about thse photoreal drawings by Diego Fazio is that he also gives us a bit of behind-the-scenes process shots as well. Using only pencil and paper, Fazio began as a tattoo artist and now can spend up to 200 hours on a single pencil portrait.
