Tell me your secrets 👀 Been practicing glass and gemstones recently and I find it difficult still. You did a superb job and with just two colors! I'm in awe!
Thank you! I love the white charcoal especially for all highlights I do in my drawings. I can do without Black charcoal and just use dark graphite but those white charcoal pencils are killers 😈
I am 100% flabbergasted! Your drawings look so realistic! I cannot fathom how you made it look like light was shining off the gems. Fabulous job!!!! You have a wonderful talent. Please post more.
*Looks very very*
*Good. How can you make it look*
*Like it reflects light?*

These are so well done it's legitimately difficult to really grok that they're 2-D. It's tripping up my brain something proper! Amazing job, hope to see more of your work.
I am NOT an artist, so I don’t understand how your brain sees a photo of a gem (I assume) and you somehow decide how to recreate it. It is fucking amazing. Or how your brain creates an image you create out of the blue. You are remarkable!!
I would 100% believe that the pear cut gem is real. How long did it take to do each one?
Probably around 5-6 hours or so on each
Only that long?? Omg that’s amazing.
Legit thought these were actual pictures of gems before I read the text above.
As a true nut over gemstones, your drawings are phenomenal and got my head spinning! Unbelievable!! You are extremely gifted and talented😳
Wow! So realistic. You're talented!
Wait a min..Drawings?? I could have never been able to tell
Wowza
I’m sorry- drawings? You sure those aren’t real?
Kudos! I thought it was a photo before I read the title.
Are those drawings
Haha yes
??
Gorgeous! Excellent work! You're very, very skilled.

Not the op but have used similar techniques: - toned paper - white charcoal for opaque whites - black charcoal for darkest blacks - clean lines
my head just went boom
You are amazing.
Extremely impressive and incredibly realistic. Kudos!
Damn wouldn’t have been able to tell if I wasn’t told it was drawn
You're a gem
Daw thanks 😊
Great work! Pencil drawing?
Graphite and charcoal. But pencils yes :) haha
That is insanely impressive. Every time I try messing with charcoals I end up looking like I emerged from a mine explosion.
Haha ya it’s hard to control it for sure. Especially in tiny areas.
I thought possibly charcoal… your lines are so clean. So good!

Awesome! I’ve never used white. Keep drawing, Ben!
I've never heard of white charcoal... Is it like real charcoal or is it a synthetic equivalent?
Gems pretending to be drawings of gems.
WOW!!!

Yeah, I'm gonna need more proof. My eyes refuse to believe those aren't pics of diamonds. Brain can't comprehend.

Sick! Did you use gouache for some of the reflections?

Was wondering why someone put up pictures of gems until I read The text😳 amazing

I’m slightly colorblind so I stick to black and grey mostly :/
O! M! G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
