Life-like ‘Redhead Girl’ portrait created with just ballpoint pens!?!
What you’re looking at is not a photograph, but a portrait done with ballpoint pens on paper by artist Samuel Silva. It took approximately 30 hours to finish and lost about 20% of quality during scanning.
Apparently Silva is being bombarded by hundreds of questions concerning this piece. There’s a nice FAQ section on the artist’s page that answers the most frequently asked questions.
