Celebrate the wonders a sketchbook and a pencil can bring with these sketchy artwork innovations. You don't always need a paintbrush to paint a pretty picture.
I have an extreme admiration for people who can draw. These sketchy artwork innovations feature some amazing sketches that range from photorealistic to downright sinister. Check out all the sketches to see for yourself. I guarantee you'll be reaching for a pencil and a piece of paper before you're through.
