ARTIST STATEMENTS
His interest for pencil art began way back in 2008 where he
discovered pencil artist Kelvin Okafor on the internet, at then he was
more into painting but had a little idea about pencil shading. Kwabnat
said, in fact he was marveled and he couldn't believe a person could
use a pencil to create a piece so real and lively. Since then, Kwabnat
focus diverted straightly into pencil art.
He had worked over 500 portraits in both pencil shading and
paintings, majority of them being commissioned. Due to his natural ability
and passion for portraitures he had being inspired to draw many
celebrities like John Dumelo, Yvonne Nelson, Dr.Crym, Martha Ankoma, Beyonce Knowles, Ishaan, Justin Bieber, Ana Brenda Contreas, Chika Ike, Nadia Buari, Kofi Annan, Lauryn Hill etc.

The first step he considers before starting a drawing piece is, he studies the picture for a couple of days just to draw inspiration and interest from the picture. After this he focuses on his goals which are details, precision and realism. Spending some time with the picture he develops the best technique to carry out his work. Kwabnat says, the most interesting part of the human figure he always loves to render is the face because he thinks that's what identifies human beings. “Art my soul “
