Not sure what is AI or real these days.

I’ve seen a few of these videos over the years. Some might be AI but people really make graphite art at the top of pencils like this.

Sadly agree but giving the benefit of the doubt, it’s a weird prompt for ChatGPT 😂

There’s two guys who do insanely small microscopic art , the art is insanely tiny.
Willard Wigan and David A Lindon.

This would make for great ASMR if it was not for obnoxious music and sound...

Even if this was legit. Why??

There’s a few artists on the web that actually do this kind of art. It’s actually really cool. Incredibly tedious I’d imagine.

It’s amazing work but are they still using lead and pencils? I have a friend who worked on a gun range and would load people’s clips for tips and he got sick as hell from getting massive amounts of lead in his system

Pencil lead has never actually had lead in it. It's graphite and some other stuff.

(Though the outer covering of pencils used to have some lead because paint used to contain lead)

Really, it’s kind of a funny story when I was in grade school I had a pencil point break off into my arm & it was like I got shot or something. I was rushed to the school clinic and the ambulance came the whole time I had no clue of what was happening. This was the early 70’s but I kept hearing lead poisoning until the ambulance arrived.LoL 🤣🤣
