I used to pencil draw all the time as a child but I was no way near this quality. I'd like to take it up again and combine it with my photography.

I never used to like people drawings and painting because I always used to pick up problems with the proportions, even slight ones that changed who it actually was, but these ones, esp the ones of Charlize and Jessica are incredible....
- Kim
incredible! huge kudos to the artist, who is the artist?

Thanks Kol! I'm vindicated at last. I hope you don't mind If I add this to my old posts with these drawings. there were a lot of people who doubted me when I first posted these that I think I deserve the final word! Would you do it for me? This wasn't the site I found them on..Thanks!
- Michael Fidler
@vijay & kol - these are obviously created by multiple artists - not just one. Just because *one* of them has a name on it and thus is traceable back doesn't mean contributing further to the orphaning of an artists work is justifiable, nor cool. to your question, vijay, I'd simply ask: how hard is it to just credit artists in the first place??
- Anthony Citrano
Anthony, I've left a comment on the site as there is no source listed, so will wait for a response.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol - that's a very diligent thing of you to do. but, i seriously doubt you'll ever hear back, because the original poster likely just copied/saved the work from somewhere else and posted it and has no idea who created it (and very likely doesn't care.)
- Anthony Citrano
Anthony, probably not but at least I tried. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They're right above us in the stream. If you read the comments, you'll see I took a lot of crap over them. I didn't appreciate it. I'm glad you found this:-)
- Michael Fidler
I couldn't find a lot of the individual artwork but it looks like most are covered above. Alexander von Reiswitz appears to have drawn most of the wild animals artwork.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol,I can't read what it says on Alexander's site, but he's a photographer. He might be the one behind the photographs used by the artist the draw these. Most are recreated from photographs! Read the comments towards the bottom of my thread. Several artists explain the work that goes into these. It's not easy for sure!
- Michael Fidler
They all start with photographs, so it makes sense.
- Michael Fidler
I found the photograph of Jessica Alba, but the drawing has many details missing. Some are even changed.
- Michael Fidler
The only set I doubt is the animals. the others are drawn. Experienced artist tell me they are all pencil drawings. Who knows? I enjoy them and that's all that matters
- Michael Fidler
If you look on the bottom of one of my post, someone left a link to a chat room which has comments on my post. It''s strange that there would be an off site discussion about things posted here. The whole thing made me laugh
- Michael Fidler
Michael, do you have links to your posts?
- Kol Tregaskes
Not just the first one, almost all the images have watermarks on them Anthony. To answer the 2nd Q, I will let Kol (for a general case, the poster) to decide that. I didn't care about this until even 14 hours after posting this, people were jumping on the "No Credits Anywhere! BOO!!" bandwagon, when some attention to the artwork itself would have gotten them the answers they wanted. Reminded me of the story about the stone that was blocking the road. That's all. Btw, thx for digging out all the links Kol :)
- vijay
I think it needs to be taken up with the site owner. I've posted a comment like I said. So will see what happens.
- Kol Tregaskes
So it looks like someone just used the pencil drawing filters from photoshop on some of them. Sad. Though, the ones that are actual pencil are still pretty good.

At daylight savings time, a person has to set their clock back or forward exactly one hour. For some clocks, this is basically impossible because the spinner spins all the wheels spinning at the same spin. With this “Ora ilLegale” clock, as you can see, it’s a cinch!
