Although in his latest work, the Mexico-based artist David Alvarez uses only graphite and charcoal to create his art, he still manages to create illustrations in rich texture and contrast. On white and cream-colored paper, he depicts creatures from myth and fantasy which look haunting.

But recently, he began focusing on more realistic things, as well. “There is an attempt to represent how humanity moves, how it thinks, how humans are in collective,” the artist told Colossal. “A jumble of undivided people who move by reflex and without autonomy.”

He adds that the illustrations of little girls, stone pillars, and soldiers are about “social pressure and search for freedom”. Alvarez shares images of his creations on Instagram and has an Etsy store, where his admirers can buy his drawings.

After becoming a mom of two, Marni Korneluk from Australia returned to her old passion, drawing. The pencil artist says that it all began as a therapeutic drawing for a busy mom.

“Art is in my bones,” the artist wrote on her Facebook page. “By drawing artists, musicians and wildlife that inspire me, I love to see realism emerge. My work has been quietly gaining momentum and has received an acknowledgment from musicians whose portraits I have drawn.”

She creates her drawings using mainly pencils, however, lately she has been also exploring other mediums, like vibrant paintings and wall murals.

“I am currently expanding in my pencil work, diving into colored pencil and larger-scale drawings to challenge myself and grow as an artist,” she added.

Besides musicians, the artist draws pet portraits, as well. She loves including tiny details that allow her to “capture the essence of your beloved pets.

To see her work, check out the gallery below and follow her on Instagram.

Bashir Sultani is artist who likes to engage into intriguing and experimental art projects that allow him to express his creativity. After doing a series of portraits using only salt, he decided now to turn to pencils. His pencil art, however, is not what you would expect.

Sultani doesn’t draw with pencils, but rather stacks them on each other on a flat surface in order to get the image he wants. He doesn’t make any altercations or interventions to the pencils and gets the most out of combining various colors or using erasing tips as a way to “paint a picture.”

You can check out some of his works below and engage into similar experiment yourself.

After seeing the works of Brazilian pencil artist Dalton Ghetti, Chien Chu Lee decided to try and create some pencil art of his own. This Taiwanese engineer started carving pencil tips into miniature sculptures and quickly realized he is really good at this.  

Chu Lee quickly started sharing his works on Instagram and quickly gained a big following on social media thanks to the fact that his works are detailed and inspired by pop culture. So far he recreated numerous famous cartoon characters on pencil tips including Mickey Mouse and Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear as well as several iconic landmarks like Eiffel Tower and Great Wall of China.  

“I find inspiration in the everyday objects around me.” – Chu Lee says. “I try to give my best every time because I never know if there is a next time. So I will push my limits to create something beyond your imagination.”

Check out some of his works below.

Some people are simply next-level creative. Burls Art, for example, made a whole new guitar body from scratch using 1200 colored pencils.

“I saw a lot of people online making bowls out of colored pencils and I thought that was really cool but I wanted to make something that I can actually utilize and enjoy more so than a bowl when it’s finished,” he shares. “Since I play guitar, I thought this would be a cool project that would accomplish that goal. I decided on making a (Fender) Stratocaster styled electric guitar… This was the first guitar I’ve ever built”

“It was surprisingly not as difficult as I would have imagined,” this creative guy continued. “The only real struggles didn’t come as much with the actual guitar building as much as it did with the colored pencil material. By that I mean, the color of the colored pencil would smear when sanded with high grit sandpaper and it looked awful. So I had to figure out a way to achieve good wood/lead color without smear (which I detail in the video at the end of this post).”

Check out the video below to see the whole process.
