Many of portraitist Paul Lung’s subjects are his and his friends’ pets, which he draws with extreme care — sometimes taking upwards of 90 hours — using mechanical pencils.
Here are some of the cats he’s drawn over the last few years…

WOW! I’ve seen and it’s still hard to believe!
To say they’re impressive is an understatement.

Very nice. I took a drawing class a few years ago, and there was a guy in it who could produce work similar to this, where a drawing looked like a photograph, within an hour or less. The first comment the teacher made when he saw his work was "I don't think I have anything to teach you."
However, as the class went on, I noticed that while he could always produce a near photographic reproduction, that was all he could do. He could not do any sort of artistic reinterpretation of anything. It wasn't even halfway through the course when I lost interest in seeing his work. After all, if I wanted something like he produced, I could just take out a camera and take a picture. I was a lot more exited by seeing other people's work, especially ones who constantly improved.

How can this be considered art? Where’s the urine? Where’s the shredded American flag? Where are the paint drips and splatters?

Pictures at source - must be seen to be believed.Yes, but we are not seeing the drawings themselves, are we? First question is, how big are the originals? It seems that in these images, the pencil strokes are not resolved. I don't mean to take anything away from the artist, but I'm loath to believe this technique is beyond understanding.

Wonderful drawings.
But how come they’re all gray cats? Why no orange tabbies?
