These stunning photograph-quality pinched flesh pencil drawings are the work of artist Cath Riley.
The results of Riley’s masterful skills with a pencil are so impressive that it is hard to believe that her pencil drawings are a fairly recent addition to her portfolio.
The main body of her work is large scale and 3-dimensional in nature, but the artist says that the drawings offer a change of pace, scale, content, and above all, the opportunity to work with clients.
Riley’s most recent clients include Nike and G.Q. magazine.
Riley has also completed some outstanding celebrity sketches including one of Madonna and one of President Obama.
