It seems to have become a trend nowadays to place the brushes used in creation next to the paintings and take pictures, especially the ultra-realistic works, as if to declare that these works are not computer-edited or ordinary. The still life photography is drawn using the tools you see before your eyes. It does not require any text explanation. Simply putting a brush can explain everything. The artist Ramos Ruben I want to introduce to you today also uses this method to present his works, which are delicate and realistic with a bit of science fiction style, completely like characters that would appear in video games or movies.
Ramos Ruben, who has superb drawing skills, particularly loves the dark and eerie style. Skulls and characters from American animation are the most common protagonists in his works. Most of the paintings he uses are pencils and colored pencils. Occasionally, in order to present different textures, he will choose to use markers and other pigments. Sometimes Lilac White can also be used as one of the pigments, like the first one you see. Like an owl.
Ramos Ruben said that he had not received formal art training since he was a child and was completely self-taught. However, of course, it took a long period of accumulation to achieve such advanced skills today. Although he has a favorite style, he also posts a variety of realistic paintings on his Twitter and Instagram, which seems to prove that his paintings are not limited to a certain field, except for the cool ones above. The cool style of painting and the exquisite and cute themes are not a problem for him. Whats more important is that his works are quite prolific. On average, one or two works are posted online every day. The speed and depth of his works are very admirable.
