The following video is an amazing feat of artistry both for its lifelike details and for the chronology it displays as you witness a female go from infancy to old age in a matter of minutes. The sketch artist has mastered the technique of making human sketches look almost photographic in terms of the detail. If not look at finely, one might mistake the sketch for an actual photograph.
When this skill is coupled with multiple sketches of a person evolving through life, it is possible to witness their lives pass through your very eyes. It starts with an adorable sketch of an innocent newborn with small hands swaddled in a baby blanket. Next, the little girl is shown in what must be her first year of life as she poses with her index finger touching her chin in a state of curiosity.
The artist seemingly sketches over the toddler to reveal an early childhood image of the girl sporting a pensive look. The image then evolves into a young elementary school age girl with a straight bob haircut. What emerges next is a beautiful young teenager capable looking as if she is absorbing all the beauty that life has to offer. The same teen then begins to emerge as an upper division high schooler who is entering womanhood.
Early adulthood emerges with the woman in her early twenties in that famous “decade of decision” that everyone experiences. This is followed by the thirty something period, middle-age, and the onset of old age. It causes one to think of all that has passed by in this amazing journey of called life.
