It doesn't matter if you use a pencil, a crayon, or the tip of your nose to create cool art, it is no small feat to produce something that'll knock everyone's socks off.

Some artists do well with just a few tools; take, for example, Bulgarian illustrator Angel Ganev. Although we are sure he could make beautiful art using a variety of drawing techniques, he often chooses to create amazing pictures using pencils alone.

In the midst of his collection on Instagram, you should be quick to notice a selection of perfect pencil portrait drawings. Their charm lies in the way they stand in stark contrast to the ethereal technique of lighting that makes the pencil drawings appear as though they are glowing.

Each drawing idea is coupled with a unique mood, wherein the glow becomes a feeling of a warm autumn evening with a cup of tea in one pencil sketch and a cool metallic touch of magic in another.

But don't take our word for it, scroll down and see for yourself!

    Love this one. The way he uses light to highlight either the smoke from a cigarette or the steam coming off of a cup of hot coffee or tea is really inviting.

    I thought I needed to sustain myself from posting Sailor Moon related comments on this one, but I'm too weak. ♥ Anyway, regardless of Sailor Moon, I like this one.

    I can feel the fire glowing from the left side of this drawing. Great picture.

    The light should be all Front, as if she she takes a bath in dawn's first sunlight.
