This Artist Draws Mini Pop Culture Figures That Are Big Enough to Appreciate
Size doesn't matter when it comes to art, and one woman's miniature-size drawings are proof. Italian artist Claudia Maccechini downsizes well-known characters and pop culture figures into remarkably tiny-yet-detailed drawings.
Ironically, she creates them in small scale to allow people to fully appreciate the piece. "I love details but very often they get overlooked because of the hasty eye of the viewer," Maccechini wrote on BoredPanda. "I decided to create miniatures firstly as a passion, but also I wanted to invite people to linger on the image and really observe it."
With more than 3,000 Instagram followers, Claudia's art is really a sight to see - you might even need to bust out a magnifying glass to see it in full. Like artist Lorraine Loots, the bulk of her pieces are inspired by Star Wars and Harry Potter, in addition to classic movies and whatever she's recently seen. Each drawing starts as a pencil sketch and is then filled in with water colors "to add some form and volume." Then, she uses colored pencils to add final details. But just because they're small in size doesn't mean they're quick to create - each drawing takes at least six hours to complete!
Check out some of Claudia's work ahead, and if you like what you see, her pieces are available for purchase on Etsy.
