It's Hard To Believe That These Portraits Are Not Photographs

A picture is worth 1,000 words, but the pieces by young artist Rubén Belloso Adorna may be worth even more than that.

Born in Seville, Spain, Belloso is trained in the fine arts from the University of Seville. His primary medium is pastels, and now his name is becoming legendary in the art world for his realistic-looking portraits of both real and fictional characters in a style of art known as hyperrealism.

Belloso, who also teaches classes on how to work with pastels, shared some of his beautiful masterpieces with us. They're so lifelike, you might forget they're only drawings.
