My favorite artist is Samuel Silva and he works in modern time of today. He's a photo-realistic who works with ballpoint pens. Samuel loves art but, its just a hobby for him which is the same thing for me. His techniques skill are so good which got him noticed by art news and other artist. What he's really good at is photo-realistic pieces done by ballpoint pen because he wants it to look as real as possible like the picture on the left. He influence me by what media he use which is the same media I use and I learn new techniques from him to make me better. This really help me to making my shoes, cars, and etc what i draw look real as possible just like how the object is made so he influenced me in my pen work.
