It takes a great artist to show the true power of a pencil, and Newfoundland-based Randy Hann is one such artist.
His breathtaking attention to detail translates into drawings that look more like shot with a professional camera than with a simple pencil.Randy Hann is definitely one of the most talented Canadian artists of our time. The Newfoundland native takes inspiration from the people, wildlife and scenery that surrounds him every day to create spectacular works of art. Born in 1961, Randy says he can always remember being able to draw, even as a young child, but it wasn’t until years later that he started taking his innate abilities seriously. He didn’t attend an art school, but dedicated years to developing and refining his drawing technique. Today, the self-taught artist is internationally-known for his mind-blowing hyperrealistic works.

For one thing, the Stealth Fighter originated as a black project and even its pilots had no idea what they would be flying until several months into the training program. Pilots selected for ‘Bandit training‘ were already experienced aircrew, which was critical because the F-117 had only one seat and no trainer version of the aircraft was ever built. Discover 10 Unusual Animals & Habitats Across the World.
