His lifelike drawings, created with graphite as his primary medium, are nothing short of breathtaking.

Macedo is not afraid to experiment with colored pencils either, using them to infuse his art with vibrant hues that truly pop. His specialty is capturing the essence of well-known personalities and depicting them in intricate details that breathe life into their facial features. Trust us, once you take a moment to peruse his collection of portraits below, you'll be blown away by his sheer talent and artistry.
