This Is Not What It Looks Like! These Giant Paint Blobs Are Actually Pencil Drawings
You may know artist Cj Hendry for her black and white realistic drawings, including a Chanel perfume bottle and Kanye West’s face on a $100 bill. But for Hendry’s latest amazing art project, she took quite a turn from black and white pieces to vibrant, color-popping art.
Titled Complimentary Colors, the colorful drawings were commissioned by the fashion brand Christian Louboutin for an exhibition during Art Basel Hong Kong. Even though the unique artworks look like big blobs of paint, the only thing Hendry used for the pieces was colored pencils. It took a lot of patience, layering the dry pigment, and expert handling of the medium, but the final realistic art pieces created were so full of sheen and viscosity, you’d never believe they are indeed pencil drawings. Keep on scrolling to check them out.

Wow! Wonder how many colored pencils they had to use for each blob..
Wow. The skill needed here is impressive, if nothing else. As a lover of color, I consider these creations to be works of art, though it is understandable that others may feel differently.
OMG, those are one of the most mind-confusing artworks I've ever seen.
*first look without reading the title* photos of color splashes *reading the title* HOLY COW! HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE???! Much wow on many levels
WOW! Normally I wouldn't consider this to be anything other than junk that some pretentious art critic was paid to praise but after reading how this was created with colored pencils it definitely took talent and is art!
