While some people struggle to draw a convincing stick figure, others can create magnificent works of art without batting an eye.
Sushant Rane, a 21-year-old artist based in Mumbai, India, falls into the latter camp. Rane told INSIDER that he has been drawing his whole life but got serious about honing his craft four years ago.
He works with different materials like colored pencils, watercolors, and pastels to create realistic drawings that appear to jump off the page. And while his drawings often go viral for their accuracy, Rane said that he is constantly working to improve as an artist.
"As a self-taught artist, I'm learning a lot from my mistakes and experimenting, which helps me to improve my skills and work," he said.
