Pencil Drawing vs. Camera - 25 Creative Pencil Drawings by Ben Heine
In his Pencil vs. Camera works, he first takes a photograph and then overlays a section of it with a photo of his own hand holding his pencil sketch over part of the original image. The effect is an astonishing jolt that echoes pop art but is also entirely fresh and new. An already beautiful photo is transformed by a sketched "comment" that adds a touch of satire or whimsy. I love the idea of our monotonous everyday surroundings taking on fantastical, joyous, and humorous qualities. Pencil vs. Camera mixes drawing and photography, imagination and reality. It is a new visual concept invented and initiated by Ben Heine in 2010. It's full of magic, illusion, poetry, and surrealism. I hope you like this drawing-versus-camera, or drawing-versus-photo, series.
