Think you know your favourite actor? Look again at these hyper-real drawings.

The pictures of Hollywood actors including Patrick Stewart, Johnny Depp and David Tennant are so life-like they look just like photos.

But Italian artist Franco Clun, 51, has created the incredible portraits using just pencils.

He spends a painstaking 50 hours on each image, which he sells for 500 Euros each (£440).

“I started drawing famous people that somehow gave me something special back,” said Franco.

“At the end of each drawing, I feel I know so much more about the person I have drawn."

Franco hopes to exhibit his work in Milan this year.

He added: “For each new drawing I dedicate more time and attention and I try to push forward my technical limitations."
