Realistic drawings look like photographs

Is this a photo ... or a drawing? To the untrained eye these images look like photographs — but they are actually hand-drawn. Hyperrealist artist

To an untrained eye these pictures would look nothing more than standard photographs but it's not all black and white - they are in fact hand drawn. These are the works of 47-year-old hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden, who, often just using a pencil, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail.

Where do you start to produce pictures like that?
