That’s incredible. Usually, “pencil art” means sketches.
That’s pretty amazing, so how about we post more examples of super intricate carvings.
I’ve seen some of those before. Truly carved by a fellow with a great amount of skill. And good eyesight too.
I knew a guy in Jr. High School who would do similar things with chalk. For you youngsters, chalk refers to a cylinder of calcium carbonate that was used to mark (of all things) a chalkboard. Teachers used such crude teaching implements in the olden days.
Anyway, this guy would take a straight pin and scrape away to make sculptures. I vividly remember one Easter Island Head he made that I thought was amazing, He also made a car, as well as many other figures. I tried doing one when he showed me how he did it, but I quickly grew bored (read, I wasn’t any good).
In thinking back, I don’t believe either of us understood that the chalk was, in all likelihood, supplied by the teacher and his pilfering the odd piece here and there for his “art” was actually steeling from the teacher.
