Artist spends up to 100 hours on hyper-realistic drawings

These are stunning hyper-realistic pencil drawings that can take up 100 hours to complete - but the artist insists anyone can master the skill if they put in the practice.

Emma Towers-Evans, 29, first picked up a pencil when she was just two years old and said her love for drawing began after watching the film ‘Free Willy’ when she was inspired to draw killer whales.

Now she creates incredible pencil portraits of people and animals - some of which can take her up to 100 hours to complete - and that are so realistic they look like photos.

Emma often completes the drawings on a large A1 or A0 paper and estimates each piece of artwork can have upwards of 500,000 individual pencil strokes.

She shares her incredible creations on TikTok and has racked up 264.9k followers and an impressive 4.5million likes on her videos.

In some of popular videos she can been seen drawing portraits of well-known celebrities like Rhianna and Taylor Swift.

The self-taught artist insists ‘anyone’ can master the craft if they put in the hours after she saw her own skills improve after years of practice.
