Jose Vergara, also known as Redosking, is a young artist who has gained recognition for his hyper-realistic pencil drawings of human eyes. His work showcases an extraordinary level of detail that brings each drawing to life, capturing the unique colors, textures, and reflections of the eye with remarkable precision. Vergara’s dedication to his craft is evident in the meticulous strokes of colored pencils he uses to create these stunning pieces of art.
Despite facing challenges early in life, including an accident that nearly cost him his right hand, Vergara’s passion for art remained undeterred, fueling his journey to become a master of hyperrealism. His work not only reflects his technical skill but also his ability to convey the depth and emotion of the human experience through the windows of the soul—the eyes.
I didn’t expect that my eye drawings were going to be so attractive. When I joined Instagram, I saw many eye drawings made with color and graphite pencils, which made me want to do one myself. I always drew eyes, but never at that level. That is when everything started: it began as a personal challenge to know how far I could go with color pencils, and then it became an obsession. Every time I drew an eye, I learned something, so every eye drawing looked better than the last. Eyes are a very interesting and attractive part of the human body. Apart from being beautiful, the eyes are capable of expressing and communicating feelings in a unique way. For me, the eyes were very useful and challenging when I wanted to learn how to draw because they have different textures, colors, and reflections. When I started drawing eyes, I didn’t know how to use color pencils; by the time I finished the tenth eye, I felt that I could draw anything in the world.
