A very talented young man with the handle @OfficiaLifyarts has amazed many people on social media with his pencil art.
The young man shared the photograph of the person he drew. Placing it side-by-side with the photo, one may think the pencil art only was edited with a black and white filter.
With his pencil, the man uses shadowing to achieve the contours formed by the man's wide smile.
People rushed to his comment section to ask how much they would need to pay him to get a drawing of themselves too.

The young artist said that he is a self-taught illustrator, adding that the art of the singer was his first for the year 2021.
@Zilaflexa asked people to retweet his work across their timelines so that it can come to the Holy Ground crooner's attention.
One of the amazing things he achieved with the drawing was Davido's dimples which he highlighted with a shadow.
