This is an example of artist Paul Lung’s work. I did a great deal of research trying to determine if his work was fake because I had a difficult time believing anyone could be so technically perfect. Here is a link to an L.A. Times article about Lung with more of his work: http://chronizt.info/animal-pencil-drawing-art-by-paul-lung.html I am still a bit skeptical about his methods but do believe his works are in fact hand drawn.This graphite pencil drawing of an owl is a great example of photographic realism and could be categorized as completely objective if it were not for the fact that the artist has chosen to leave out any natural background detail. This added subjective element makes it appear as if the subject is in a studio and works to intensify the illusion that this drawing is a photograph. Aside from the artist’s choice of background, I think the drawing also falls into the informational drawing category because of the incredible precision, attention to detail, and information it conveys.
