Juan Francisco Casas



I know this doesn't really have to do with fashion, but without the body we would not be able to have fashion. I am a big fan of photography and portraits- especially portraits. It's amazing to me that with just a pencil or a pen, someone can create the most life-like images. Portraits have always fascinated me the most out of any type of drawings, because it really illustrates that what we see is powerful and it captures a moment in a person's life. The ability to put that perception through a pencil on paper is really intriguing and admirable...Having said that, I recently came across the work of an artist based out of Madrid, Spain who draws these magnificent images with blue ballpoint pens. He reproduces them from photographs he takes himself. I know how difficult, time consuming and detailed any portrait can be, but the fact that he does them with these pens is truly unbelievable. We all know how ballpoint pens smudge easily. Check out the pictures below and check out his website

toodles...
