Self-Taught Singaporean Artist Creates Hyper-Realistic Drawings On Wooden Boards

Ivan Hoo, a talented hyper-realistic artist who has submitted his work to Bored Panda before, is back with more unbelievably realistic works of art drawn on simple boards of wood.

Hoo uses colored pencils, pastels and ink to create his realistic artwork. He works on boards of wood, which give the background a unique texture.

“I always love to draw realistic art or artworks that tease the eyes and the brain,” Hoo wrote on Bored Panda earlier. “By working on wood, it gives me a lot of dimension and ideas to create something close to reality and it works really well with pastels, too.“
