Intricate Sculptures Carved from a Single Pencil

 
Intricate Sculptures Carved from a Single Pencil
 
Hungarian artist and deviantART user cerkahegyzo carves intricate miniature sculptures from a single lead pencil (with the exception of #5 & #15, not sure how he did those!). The artist says it's a hobby and form of relaxation for him and that he carves them in his free time. During the day he works as a professional tool-maker in Hungary .
 
Cerkahegyzo says he started carving after coming across the highly detailed sculptures of artist Dalton Ghetti who also uses lead pencils as his preferred medium. Tools used include: needles, razor blades, sandpaper, files, polishing stones and all varieties of pencils (e.g., HB, B, 2B, 4B).
 
Below is a small collection of the artist's unbelievable artwork. Be sure to check out his deviantART profile to see his entire portfolio.
