It may not surprise you that incredible things can be created with just pencils and paper—but the breathtakingly realistic drawings of Japanese artist Kohei Ohmori are sure to leave you amazed.
Based in Okayama, this talented artist spends over 200 hours on each pencil drawing, and his extraordinary attention to detail is immediately evident. With precise shading, ultra-fine lines, and a remarkably steady hand, Ohmori’s black-and-white artworks look as though they could leap right off the page.
One of his most impressive pieces is a hyper-realistic pencil drawing of a Casio G-Shock watch. Every metallic reflection, digital display, and intricate detail of the case and bracelet is meticulously rendered. The shading is so precise that the drawing becomes nearly indistinguishable from a photograph.
Scroll down to discover how Ohmori captures even the most subtle textures and finest details in 17 of his best works we’ve selected for you today.

Pencil has proper shadows; why not below/behind the amazingly drawn silver with water droplets? (What astonishingly beautiful, detailed works, regardless!)
I find it hard to believe because the lettering is like a machine did it. I’ve seen people like Marcelo Barenghi draw this stuff but the lettering on that beer can is just too good to be true,, I think. Do it in front of me,,,then ok.
I have a friend who can draw and paint like this. For the paintings, he would sketch out a grid of ~1-inch squares over the whole canvas, and do the painting one square at a time with a brush so tiny it looked like it had 3 bristles. And hooooooooo boy did he have anger issues if he messed up.
