Life-Like Playing Card Recreations

The Mark Crilley Realism Challenge Video Duplicates Objects

The Mark Crilley Realism Challenge is a must-see for any artist and art appreciator out there. This Michigan-based artist demonstrates talent like no other.

Mark has a YouTube channel where he posts videos of himself doing a series of realism challenges that consist of him recreating drawings from real life objects. The above video is the third installment that Mark has taking on where he draws a torn playing card of a King of Clubs.

The video is filmed in real time and the impressive part is that it does not take Mark very long to recreate the play card by free hand. At the conclusion of the video it is almost impossible to tell which card is the real one.
