Meet Nigerian Kelvin Okafor, The Most The Amazing Sketch Artist In The World

Follow @RhippleMedia

Kelvin Okafor is a 27 year old graduate of Fine Art, Middlesex University and is now making world wide waves with his incredibly incredible pencil drawings that look like real photographs.

Kelvin creates each piece only in black and white, using graphite pencils, charcoal, and black coloured pencil. He's exhibited at numerous major art galleries and won several national awards for his remarkable work. His work is currently on display at the The Watercolours + Works on Paper Fair at the London Science Museum, until February 3.

Kelvin has this to say on his blog:

 'I aspire to create art as vivid as eyes could see. I want my drawings to prompt an emotional response, making viewers feel as though they are looking at a real live subject. I’ve always been creative, but fell in love with using pencils in particular. 

 It amazed me, that with only one shade of lead, you can create so many tones and textures, and almost create the illusion of colour. It was only when my images started to create a buzz with other Middlesex University students that I realised their impact.'

Rhipplemedia is so AMAZED at the quality of his works.
