THESE ARE NOT PHOTOGRAPHS
No, they're not photographs! The astonishing pictures drawn by PENCIL
Artist's drawings take between three and six weeks to create and sell for up to £5,000 each
The hyperrealist art is taken from a photograph but is produced in a non-photographic medium
These might look like photographs, but it's not all black and white when it comes to the work of this artist.
Despite looking like they have been captured on a camera, these are actually hand-drawn images created by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden.
The 47-year-old, from Scotland, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail, often just using only a pencil.
From the wrinkles on a woman’s face, a puff of smoke from a cigarette or dripping water - Cadden's drawings look unbelievably realistic.
Smokescreen: Incredible detail has been captured by the hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden, but his work leaves you wondering whether your eyes have been tricked
Hyperrealism was born from the idea of photorealism, which are paintings based on photographs but created in a non-photographic medium.
Taking an average of between three and six weeks to produce, Cadden creates about seven pieces each year - which usually come in A1 or A0 sizes - and sell at galleries for up to £5,000 each.
A spokesman for London's Plus One Gallery, which is featuring Cadden's work in its current hyperrealism exhibition, said: 'When you look at a picture of his work, they do look like photographs.
'But when you see it in a gallery up close, you can tell it's a drawing. The detail is incredible.'
Cadden, from Glasgow, was last year shortlisted for Artist of the Year 2011 for his drawing, ‘Painted context’.

This luxurious yacht design by Simone Madella and Lorenzo Berselli is stunning! The curves and elegance of the ship make it classy and breathtaking. Cronos Yacht features detailed woodwork, spacious seating areas, modern furniture, and lots of natural lighting. All of the smooth lines and textures of the body almost make it look like an animal that belongs in the sea.
The bamboo yacht also has many sustainable features. Utilizing both solar glass panels and and a wind belt, the ship is both solar and wind powered. The boat uses two electrical engines and the walls in the engine room take in excess heat, converting it back into energy.
