Russian Street Artist Draws Hyperrealistic Portraits In One Hour



If you are creative enough the whole world can be your inspiration and canvas. You must have seen artist hand sketching things or people but there are some whose sketch is so real, it won’t make you believe your eyes. Sometimes we tend to not appreciate these artists enough but what we forget is the number of years of practice and patience these artists have to undergo to master portrait drawings.

Perhaps you don’t know that there are no two same faces in the whole world. And if you are thinking about twins, then let me tell you that not even twins have the same face. What’s more shocking is that not even two sides of the same face are symmetrical. But when you see the work of Nikolay Yarakhtin, you will not believe your eyes. Nikolay is a Saint Petersburg based street artist but originally from Cheboksary has been making portraits of people, copying every single detail and unique feature for 28 years now.
