If you are a huge fan of Drake or Nicki Minaj, these bad drawings of celebrities might make you mad.
"I've been doing pencil sketches since I was zero years old," Ballpoint Papi, aka Tw1tterPicasso, wrote on his Instagram page, and his skills are indisputable as he is the mastermind behind these uniquely ugly drawings of celebrities.
The real name of the master troll is Corey, and he's from Australia. His style might look childlike at first glance and in a way, it is. Ballpoint Papi uses simple pens on any piece of paper he finds to create his hilariously bad drawings of celebrities, including hip-hop artists, athletes, and other pop personalities.
The artist has almost 212k followers for his funny tweets. "The best thing about this whole thing is when people tell me how they're struggling with life and come to my page to laugh," he told XXL Mag. "I get a lot of people hating on my famous celebrity drawings as well, but as long as my page can make people having a hard time happy, then it doesn't matter to me."
Take a look at Tw1tterPicasso’s fan art masterpieces below, and let us know what you think about these bad celebrity portraits.

Why Do We Enjoy “Bad Art” So Much?
Yes, the very act of placing art on “good” and “bad” shelves is highly subjective, and so is enjoying either one or both of those categories. However, it is an undeniable fact that we all enjoy these bad celebrity drawings, and if you’re wondering why that might be, here are a couple of thoughts on why we like this “bad art” so much:
It’s unexpected. Before you opened this article, we bet you didn’t expect these bad drawings of celebrities to be as hilarious as they are. As much as this surprise element caught you off guard here, the same thing happens with other shoddy artworks, too.
It’s hilarious. Often, an example of bad art is a clear embodiment of absurdity, and who doesn’t love a nice absurdity-induced laugh here and there?
It’s skillful. Of course, each bad drawing of a celebrity on this list is drawn in an amateurish way, but they definitely require skill and thoughtfulness, no matter how ugly. And drawing such portraits purposefully is a challenge in itself. So, appreciation of effort is also a huge part of why we like these bad drawings!
Now that we know why we enjoy these portraits by Tw1tterPicasso so much let’s go back to actually looking (and laughing) at them. After all, there are still plenty of these ugly drawings of celebrities on the list!

Not sure who most these people are but I think I'd be ashamed if I did.
I think these are great. They actually do portray the emotions and intentions of the subjects, appropriately exaggerated but great interpretations.
You should've put celebrity in quotes as well. Never heard of most of these people. A lot of them look like circus folk.
I guess this makes me officially old... I recognize like six of these idiots
Artist seems to have a real issue with drawing hands...then again, many artists have a problems with drawing hands. And while I obviously have no problems with tattoos in general, I wonder at the decision of people to get facial tattoos. I have ink. My children both have ink. But on the face...I may be becoming a little old lady. Although I only tell dogs to "get off my yard" and only when they're bothering MY dog!
So when did that trend start where rappers look like totem poles with exploded rats nailes on top?
a lot of these people are famous and I'm not sure why or who they are. is that my fault? it probably is isn't it..
As an artist myself & as hilarious as we all find this, I honestly can say that you have the potential to be an amazing artist. If you were to take a few art classes in no time you would be awesome, but in a crazy way your as they say funny bad celebrity portraits are brilliant. Like Andy Warhol, you guys have this "f**k you art, people will buy anything " attitude of works that people love, kudos to you for doing it, best of luck. I'm a fan.
I really enjoy your work, people find it hilarious as do I, but as an artist myself, I can honestly say that you have the potential to be an amazing artist. Seriously a few art classes & you would be really great.
They remind me a lot of Matthew Grey Gubler's paintings & drawings - he plays one of the FBI profilers on Criminal Minds and seems to spend a lot of time doodling! http://www.matthewgraygubler.com/webpage/
I don't know what it is, but something about the these pics tells me that the artist can actually draw a bit... Hmm.
I... don't know who these people are? Ive seriously been living under a rock or something. But the art is great!
Is it me or is the 'art' mostly about brown skinned people? I mean there are a few americans but mostly colored people. Just sayin!
Nothing reminds you that you're not in your 20's anymore like not recognizing 3/4 of the people on a "celebrity" list.
