Amazing watch art

This guy's photo-realistic drawing of a Grand Seiko is jaw-dropping. Wish he'd do some Rolexes.

His pencil sharpening skills aren't half bad, either!

I like that he drew in the imperfections in his watch. It shows dings and scratches in the end result.

Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

His IG has a few drawings showcased. He has talent. https://www.instagram.com/kohei6620/

Wow that’s insane. Love it.

It would be sooooo neat to meet the guy, lend him your PERSONAL watch, have him draw it and pay him well

Then hang it up in your office
