You’ve undoubtedly seen a street artist make pictures of passers-by and sell them. Maybe you even purchased a self-portrait and have it hanging on the wall or stashed away in one of your drawers. Street painters have a lot of skill and precision. However, they are often underappreciated, and their works are frequently sold for low rates. It’s incredible how these painters can complete artwork in such a short amount of time despite working in such a noisy environment.
Nikolay Yarakhtin is a Russian street artist born in Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvashia Republic. To sketch a great portrait, he works on the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia, using just pencils and fumes. For the last 30 years, this guy has been copying the anatomical qualities and distinctive markings of many faces on blank canvases.
