self-taught illustrator eric-anthony johnson wows with sketch portraits

Meet self-taught illustrator Eric-Anthony Johnson! The Germany-based artist began teaching himself how to draw in 2010 and since then he’s worked as a freelancer for HBO, Vice, Jess3, Jägermeister, and more. When he’s not working on jobs, Johnson’s work focuses on portraiture and character creation sketches. One of my favorites is his craft paper sketch series and digital portraits.
