You would think that this is a pretty cool photograph of a cat, but it is actually a drawing in pencil. Pretty hard to believe, but it's true.
This image is the result of the eighth time Paul Lung drew his cat FuFu; it took him around 50 hours over 15 days. I am not an artist, so I can’t judge Lung's timing, but I can judge the awesome result. In my eyes, drawing cat’s fur has got to be harder than human flesh.
Check out some of Paul Lung's other amazing pet illustrations of cats that he and his friends own above.
