Pencil vs Camera by Ben Heine

I’m becoming more and more of a photo enthusiast but unfortunately drawing has never been my strong side. I would love to be able to make even the simplest sketch not turn out like a drunken hieroglyph. When looking at works of an artist like Ben Heine I really feel like taking a pencil and starting to draw… draw anything really but I’m simply afraid It’ll turn out a joke. Even to myself.

Still getting inspiration is the best way to get started so I’ll keep my drafts to myself for now and when the time comes maybe I’ll share something decent with the world.

For now enjoy some stunning works by Ben Heine and check out more here if you’re interested.
