Eric Stavros

I was born in the south of France near Marseille in 1971.
Drawing was my main hobby since I was a child and I never really stopped doing this, thanks to the encouragement of all the people around me.
Of course, all those years, I have experienced many techniques, such as painting, brushes, pastel, acrylics, watercolors, etc...

I've also experienced the wonderful world of UKIYO-E, the Japanese woodblock prints.
But I finally realized that, just with simple graphite black pencils, in the pure black & white traditional way, was, for me, the best way to (re)produce on paper, the most amazing "photo realistic" drawings!
I also may use some charcoal and black Chinese ink when it is required for an even better result.
