28 Three-dimensional Pencil Drawings By Willie Hsu

"My artistic background started at a very young age, Willie Hsu told Bored Panda. "I’ve been drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil. Art was and still is my escape to a place where anything’s possible. All I have to do is imagine and create."

"For me, there’s just something beautiful about the process. The fruition of an idea. The beauty of creating something that stems from the seed of imagination," the artist said.

"In the first piece I created showcasing this style, I drew a shapeless figure lost in fog with only its hands seemingly pressed up and in focus. I wanted to create the illusion that there was a thin layer of glass separating the subject from the viewer. Everything snowballed after that. This style of mine quickly developed to feed my hungry curiosity for ghosts and to satisfy my insatiable fascination with the afterlife," Willie Hsu explained.

"Some [drawings] are products of my own experiences," the artist revealed to Bored Panda. "In times of sadness, loss, or heartbreak, people say the best thing to do is talk to someone. But for someone like me who tends to keep emotional lows bottled up, the only place for me to pour it out is onto a blank canvas. Art is the simplest way for me to cathartically express myself."

"I also love to find ways to seamlessly incorporate my drawings into my photography and poetry. I have love and appreciation for all art forms."

"These pieces are mostly created using various graphite pencils, graphite powder, brushes, and blending stumps. Just think of it as painting with graphite. Sometimes I’ll use grey wash watercolor, ink, and charcoal as well," speaking about his techniques Willie Hsu told Bored Panda.
