What An Amazing Pencil Drawing,

using coarse-grain cotton paper, with fine point pencils,


 each of the drawings by Italian industrial designer turned artist Alessandro Paglia takes between 50 and 250 hours to complete, photographs Alessandro Paglia/Instagram,

one day Alessandro quit his job and decided to focus exclusively on artistic drawings, “When I left my job and started to draw, I still wasn’t sure if my works would be appreciated or recognized as good art, and eventually be purchased,” the artist told Design Wanted. “I started drawing in a small gatehouse I was allowed to use for a couple of months. I opened my Instagram page and started posting my stuff",

Paglia never wanted to go the usual gallery route, instead he was more interested in an independent journey powered by the internet, 

when he was approached by the editor of TheCoolHunter, a large online magazine, who wanted to represent him, he jumped at the opportunity. He has been harnessing the power of the internet ever since, inspired by photography and fascinated by shadows, reflections, Alessandro Paglia starts his creative process by photographing his subject in order to obtain the perfect shot, and then the magic starts,

 to see more of his work have a look at his Instagram pagewhat an amazing talent some people truly have,
