Artist Draws Hyperrealistic Portraits of Animals That Look Like Photographs

Haruki Kudo is a young, gifted artist best-known for his hyperrealistic drawings of animals that look like photographs. To create his artwork, the 18-year-old Japanese man uses only colored pencils but most of his portraits look way too good to have been done by hand. He says that his artistic journey began a few years ago.
