Samuel Silva’s Bic Pen Portrait

These are not photographs. This is an amazing portrait drawn by 29-year-old Portugal-based attorney Samuel Silva based on a photograph. Silva’s medium of choice is standard Bic ballpoint pens on paper and this particular portrait uses eight different colors, taking some 30 hours to complete.  Silva says art is just his “hobby”.
