Pencil VS Photography is a series of artwork made by Ben Heine. He might not be the first to try this sorta thing ,but I gotta say he's great at it. Might be a bit late since I found this 4 months ago ,but hey you know what some say "If I ain't seen it's new to me". So discuss what you think of it and post any that you think are interesting.

I could have called it "Drawing Vs Photography" or "Imagination Vs Reality"...
Thank you all for the great feedbacks you sent me.
This series is new and growing EVERY WEEK (I intend to make at least 100 PvsC works), please come back again to see more.
All the graphic elements shown in this set (and in my Flickr stream) come from my own stock/production. I drew the sketches, took the photos, edited them...[/quote]

[quote=Ben Heine]I've taken this photo in Brussels, near Louise (Belgium). I've also made the rough sketch.[/quote]

[quote=Ben Heine]I took this photo in Poland and also made the rough sketch. The painting on the wall is a reproduction by Mirek K. of the "Girl with a Pearl Earring". I really love this painting by Johannes Vermeer but I thought a "modern" version of if would be cool too. ^^[/quote]

[quote=Ben Heine]This is a photo I took in Lille, France. I also made the quick drawing...

[quote= Ben Heine]This is a photo I took from Montmartre's hill in Paris, France. I also made
the quick drawing on paper showing a tyrannosaurus holding guns. :D[/quote]

[quote=Ben Heine]I took this photo in Braives, Belgium. I also drew the rough funny sketch.
Yes I know, that one isn't really poetic, lol! In every couple, there is always
a crazy donkey...[/quote]
does he edit these in or does he hold up a piece of paper?
yeah, how the fuck?
Thats actually really awesome! I also like how it looks like he ripped the edges of the pencil pictures.
That car looks amazing.
Looks like they'd have to be edited in afterwards, unless he somehow got those donkeys to pose for him.

I'm sure I read it somewhere on his site that he edits them. Oh and forgot to say that he makes a new one about every week.
Love the half-real one with the car, it looks amazing!
This is awesome.
The dinosaur one does not blend at all.

I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to draw all those buildings so I understand him clipping a few corners here and there.
He's gonna get a mini book and calendar deal out of it
I really like the looks of this.
For some reason the donkey one reminds me of John Lennon with those glasses now that I think about it.
Looks awesome.
Requesting a crazy donkey avatar. :buddy:
On the one with the donkeys his hand looks like it's light up by a ceiling light and not by the sun as the shadow is so strong so I think they all are edited in
but it's awesome none the less
look at the big difference in the shadow and the light on the hand from the one with the car to the one with the donkeys

Well if there was a picture of female donkey on the other side...
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;27301796]Looks awesome.
