“I was frustrated by the demise in work ethic I’ve noticed in recent years,” he shared with The Crafty Gentleman. “People (and pupils) have less patience. They want things instantly. Very few people realize the time that needs to be spent on creating something of value. I thought, foolishly, ‘I’ll show them!‘.”

It was at that moment that an incredible drawing challenge was born: to document every single item in his late grandfather’s shed, as a way of showing the virtue of hard work and dedication. “I made the decision to catalogue everything, even multiples, and have not regretted it since,” Phillips recalls.

According to Phillips, using his late grandfather’s shed as a resource for inspiration was a way for him to pursue the act of illustrating, aiming first to draw every single day.

“I began drawing items from the shed in 2014 and realized that the items in jars and tins were actually more interesting than the tools themselves,” he recounted.

“It also became clear that the format of my sketchbook was unsustainable for the project—I wanted to draw more than just one ‘thing’ per day. That initial sketchbook developed into pages of random objects and I began to enjoy the pattern and repetition that emerged.”

His project soon gained viral attention, not only for its sheer volume (to date, Phillips has illustrated well over 6,500 items and estimates the total over 100,000) but for the story behind it—a story of memory and loss but also of celebration and dedication.

“My job as an art teacher truly helped sculpt the project into what it is today,” he admits.

Upon viewing his drawings, one might wonder how did the artist manage to add artificial light into his drawings? The answer is fairly simple. He uses a free artist app called Medibang Paint, which incorporates fluorescent light into his artwork and turns it into magic.

Bernal uses this technology to contour faces, add mysterious glow to the background, or to make flying birds and butterflies shine. This sophisticated touch adds a whole new dimension to his already perfect sketches and makes his work stand out among many other artists.

Take a look at his magical drawing and see for yourself.

“In Italy life becomes epic,” she relays on her website. “Even a simple espresso in the piazza becomes an event.” Her paintings portray this epicness in vibrant color, allowing the viewer to travel to Italy without actually having to travel.

Part of what makes Cammerata’s creations so vivid is her understanding of light, and the way it can change a setting dramatically. “Light and its effect on color is the essence of my work,” she writes. “The sunshine of Italy saturates and energizes everything it touches, making colors sing.”

According to Cammerata, each and every moment, our senses are flooded with light. “I want to capture that radiance, that aliveness, and create a painting that makes you want to immerse yourself in it,” she notes.

Her understanding of light and color became an important part of her artistic journey, beginning with studying impressionist color theory and continuing in her formal studies, having graduated with a degree in fine arts, with a strong grounding in art history.

Take a look at some of her creations in the gallery below.

She says she likes to draw with colored pencils in a warm space and that her work is mostly inspired by travels.

“I draw reference to the picture I took. And if it was my daily life, I remember or take notes of the moment that I want to draw and then draw with colored pencils. But colors don’t paint in real colors. I change the colors based on my feelings. And I also change the colors to make the artwork looks more harmonious,” the artist told Ballpit in an interview and added that she later scans her image and uses Photoshop to edit the drawings.

You can find Park’s creations on Instagram, and although, she has reached only 4,000 followers we really enjoyed browsing through her feed and we believe that you will enjoy it too.

“My brother suggested me to draw something and gift her. That’s when I started drawing pictures each and everyday just to impress her,” the artist said in an interview for 9mood. “For 3 years I practice drawing each and everyday for her. At last I realized that she loves someone else.”

If you go through his Instagram feed, you will see remarkable pencil drawings of famous people, cartoon and anime characters, human portraits, etc. And although he doesn’t have a huge fan base, his work is worth checking out.

If you take a close look, you might recognize some of the buildings from her drawings. There are details from the Strasbourg Cathedral, such as the arched doorway, or Notre Dame’s windows, known for their hypnotizing floral ornaments.   

Though she sometimes uses colored pencils, her color palette is mostly monochrome. She uses highlighting techniques to make her drawings seem tridimensional, and the precision of the details makes them look like a photograph.   

Atkey posts most of her works on Instagram, where more than 115k followers admire and support her work. Sometimes she even posts artworks that are half-way finished, and you can see the behind-the-scenes process that involves their creation.

“As an architect, I meticulously create drawings to reveal and describe a building’s design and construction,” writes Tulay on his website. “In my art studio, I am able to break from all these conventions and push the gravitational and spatial boundaries of these spaces I imagine.”

“My daughters, who are eight and five, consistently complain that my drawings are ‘too scary,’” he joked in an interview with Mass Cultural Council. “They will ask me ‘Why can’t you draw something nice, with color, like with a rainbow?’ Once in a while, however, I’ll do a drawing, and they’ll tilt their heads to the side and say ‘Not bad, Dad.’ This scares me.”

Indeed, you might feel a bit uneasy looking at his drawings. A feeling of disorientation might just creep in. Whether inspired by built form or natural context, his art is constructed by an armature of light. Light, or fog, is engaged in either defining space or dematerializing the landscape or architectural elements depicted. In some drawings, the viewer appears to be floating and is looking both up and down at the same time.

Look closely:

Soo Min Kim – who describes himself as an “artist in the cardboard cups” – not only shares photographs of the finished artworks but also shoots videos where his work process is shown in detail. With a white paint, he erases part of the logo of the famous cafeteria and then, he takes a green pen, a paper cutter and a pair of scissors, and using the face of the mermaid as a base, transforms it into instantly recognizable characters.

So, next time you are served a drink in a plastic or cardboard cup, feel lucky because probably someday these cups could be part of a museum exposition of “cup art”. Check out some of Soo Min Kim’s creations below.

On Instagram, Ericka has fun with her eight-month-old son. She draws with chalk on the floor imaginary compositions in which she poses her baby. Thus, over the months, little Josiah finds himself immersed in The Lion King, Peter Pan, Toy Story, Pinocchio, and The Incredibles. A dark floor, a few strokes of chalk, a towel placed behind the head and the baby is included in many classics of animation!

You can find some of those fun and artistic snapshots below.

These giants are nothing more than animated (and colorful) dolls that tell the stories of the spaces where they were purposely placed. The illustrator began to draw these great characters on photographs of the back streets of the cities of Turkey. Some of them look like monsters, others are influenced by real people, but all of them look really humorous.
