It’s hard
to believe, but the bag of potato chips you’re looking at right now
isn’t real, it’s just an expertly drawn optical illusion.
Twitter user Shinoo (@ Shinoo_0215) has been getting a lot of attention
this week thanks to his incredibly detailed color pencil drawings.
Actually, calling his artworks “detailed” is a bit of an understatement,
considering how life-like they look. Take the bag of potato chips
bellow, if you didn’t know it was only a drawing, could you tell it
apart from an actual, three-dimensional bag? Heck, I know it’s a drawing
and I still can’t believe it.

Everything about Shinoo’s drawings is perfect. From the expertly drawn
details on the bag, to the way the light reflects off the crumpled bag
and the realistic shadows, there’s nothing that gives it away as a
drawing. Luckily, the 19-year-old artist also posts photos of his
masterpieces as works in progress, to convince his followers that they
are just colored drawings.

But achieving this level of detail using colored pencils isn’t easy.
Shinoo told J-town that he spent around 50 hours working on the blue bag
of potato chips, with most of that time spent getting the light
reflections just right.

The talented artist said that he mostly relied on colored pencils to
create his stunning drawings, with the only two expetoins being a white
pen for the light reflections and an airbrush for the shadows cast by
the bags.

years, but Shinoo’s drawings are definitely up there with the best of
them. For more of his insane artworks, follow him on Twitter.
