I Stumbled Upon,

these drawings,


that look stunning, but also have a little 'extra', 

 the pencil drawings of Enrique ‘Kike’ Bernal would look good enough with that mysterious, colorful glow, all photographs Enrique Bernal,

 the young Mexican artist usually relies on mechanical pencils and pens to create his cartoonish drawings, 

 but he recently incorporated a new, digital tool into his arsenal – Medibang Paint, an app that allows him to add artificial lighting to his drawings,

 He still has to make clever use of the colorful, almost fluorescent glow to nail the effect perfectly,

 so it’s not like anyone can use it to create the same style of artworks,

 it is a course a personal thing,

 does the glow add something to traditional portraits?

 or would they be better with out the glow?

 all I can say is that they certainly stood out from many other portraits when I first looked at them, for more of his glowing drawings, keep an eye on Enrique Bernal’s Instagram.
