“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”

― Ernest Hemingway

Artist Muyideen Folorunsho, (copyright Muyideen Pencils), a final year student of Biology Department at The Federal University of Technology, Akure, creative and talented with artistry works.,decorating  with pencil to be precise. "The art of drawing with pencil has been a major part of me since I was a kid". Painting pictures in the style of realism is what I love to do, to recreate LIFE as we see and know it, with just  simple pencil work,it is exciting to say the least. "Be the best you can be in whatever you know how to do."― Artist Muyideen Folorunsho. I make Pencil Art works; Portraits from life or reference picture, animate and still life drawing. My pencil arty speaks quality and creativity, so it got me comments and daily compliments like: "amazing", "fascinating", that's not true", incredible", "intricate" and so on. I draw pictures with graphite and lead pencils on coarse paper, canvas, gesso and marble of different sizes: 10 by 12", 12 by 16"(I call this Arty moderate), 16 by 20"and 20 by 24" and so on. The paper pencil portrait is laminated with a foreign sticker and then framed with foreign frames, an Italian frame(Heavy) or german frame (Fibre: to reduce weight for courier and other exporting services) or glazed. Please note that Glass framing is not in vogue anymore in modern day arty and photography for durability. I love what I do, I am self taught and strive for realism in each piece, taking great pleasure in capturing every fine detail in faces and pictures as a whole. To me drawing is fun, its about bringing happiness to someones life, I knew this when I was 9, when I drew Tanny(a friend's dog Pet) and showed it, it was unbelievable when it started staring at itself in the picture and hopping with joyous groan. Albeit, I complete a male life portraite in an average time of 20 minutes and female's, sometimes because of the details in their facial expression, smiles, eyes, lips and hair movement, takes like 35 minutes and there is still room for improvement.

The thing is, there is a psychological connection between the artist and the sitter, so any slight movement can affect the quality of the job for most artists, therefore, most often I draw from reference photos because most client can not maintain a posture for even that short period of sketching. I have my artworks in Local Artists studios and Local Art Gallery. I train students, friends, Corp members who show interest in drawing and making professional pencilling as a career, I do tell my students "Practice does not make perfection, it brings time to time improvement"― Artist Muyideen Folorunsho. Weekdays are for booking, job completion(framing and packaging) and delivery while weekends are for drawing and training, with that, I am only able to finish an average of 11 portraits in a weekend. I drew about 40 portraits between February 1st and Valentine's day and all were ladies and clients were guys...Hilarious! I make portraits for babies, and its fun drawing their fat chics and fresh face. “Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.” ― Albert Einstein. "Time is a factor, spend a second making a mistake with pencils and you have the next minute erasing it, and remember, small eraser comes with the longest conventional pencils and no eraser comes with art pencils, you know why? LILY (art pencils manufacturer, China) expects you to beautify your mistakes...like you knew what you were doing even if you don't." ― Artist Muyideen Folorunsho
