I Have Heard Of Artists Using Many Different Mediums,

but this is a first for me,

based in central China’s Hubei province, Xiong Qingzhen got the inspiration for his now famous toothpaste painting technique from his days taking photos with an old film camera, 

using the mirror as a canvas and plain toothpaste as paint, Xiong started painting “negative” portraits of popular celebrities. They didn’t look too impressive to the naked eye at first, but a simple flip of the switch revealed the true artwork,

and impressive they are too,

after discovering that his theory worked, Xiong worked on improving his painting skills, and after a few months, he was able to produce detailed masterpieces in just 2-3 hours, Xiong Qingzhen’s videos have been getting a lot of attention on TikTok, where his toothpaste portraits of Audrey Hepburn, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jackson have been getting tens of thousands of views,

as well as toothpaste he also uses cotton buds, well why not? what a talent to be able to paint in the negative.
