Nigerian artist, age 11, creates incredible hyperreal portraits
I hate to be all jaded about things, but this is the second story I&#x27;ve seen on this boy, and I feel like he falls under the &quot;extraordinary claims require extraordinarily evidence&quot; umbrella.<p>These are charcoal-based sketches, and for that style of art a majority of the artistry lies in image choice and finishing detail of the sketch (and a little bit in the presketch, though that&#x27;s trainable if he&#x27;s using a reference image.)<p>I would like to have better evidence that these parts weren&#x27;t just done by an adult, because without it, this boy is arguably a once-in-generation genius, and that is an extraordinary claim.
