When it comes to art, there are various mediums and techniques through which artists can create unique art forms. From simple line drawing to complex acrylic paintings, there is a lot that artists can experiment with. Interestingly, a visual artist and graphic designer Bryan Rugangira from Tanzania, who goes by the name @bryan_rugangira on Twitter, has created an overwhelmingly impressive art piece that has astonished many on social media.

While the painting made by Rugangira is incredibly beautiful, it is the medium used by him that stunned Twitterati. In multiple tweets, the artist shared different stages of the painting before finally posting the completed version. After posting the picture, he revealed that he had just used a ballpoint pen and paper for it. “I used a blue ball point pen on a manila paper,” he wrote under the picture.

Dude you should start your own gallery man…

I just went to your page and saw you posted several amazing pieces at different stages-WOW!!! I hope you are doing this for a living. You need to put a watermark of some sort over whatever you post so people don’t take credit for your work. Really spectacular! Best of luck!
