AMAZING PEN ART

FROM THE world famous Girl with a Pearl Earring painting to a jaguar in the grass, these incredible drawings are created from coloured ballpoint pens. These amazing illustrations were created by Portuguese solicitor and artist Samuel Silva, who has had a strong interest in drawing since he was two years old. ‘I have been interested in drawing since the very first time I ever touched a pencil and a sheet of paper, when I was two years old.’ says 31 year old Samuel, now of London. ‘After that day, I never stopped drawing. Unlike most children, I didn’t start by scribbling; I just instinctively drew straight away.
