A photorealistic artist hailing from Rambagh in Srinagar has come up with some extraordinary drawing skills that make them look lively. Waseem Mehraj started sketching at a very early age and was introduced to the concept of realism by an artist Saiful Mir. Speaking to ANI, Mehraj said that he learnt the concept by watching online video tutorials.”Photorealism is not taught here. It is completely based on practice. Gradually I developed my skills and now I am on to photorealism,” he said. The artist has made several drawings that give a 3D effect. Anxiety, depression and love are the three topics of his upcoming series of artwork with 10 sketches. “I have used the concept of surrealism and photorealism in this,” he said.
