This art work is using up to 50,000 rigid steel nails to create by Marcus Levine,but he manages to it without as much as a sketch. He began hammering nails in to composite wood boards and completed his first real nail artwork in 2005. He continued to perfect his technique, creating increasingly dynamic interpretations of his subjects and pushing the boundaries with each new art piece. He takes between three days and two months to complete one of his hammered masterpieces and uses anywhere between 15,000 and upwards of 50,000 nails. By placing them at various heights and distances, he can create various distinct tones and manipulate the intensity of the contours. He masters several techniques, like undulating the height of a nail or rotating its head round, but he admits that light has a big part to play in his art, as from morning sun to evening sun the shadows across the sculptures change and affect the contrast and by altering artificial lighting, the sculptures can appear as light as a pencil sketch or as dark as a charcoal life drawing.

This is an amazing artwork. Because you can imagine how detail is it. He is very creative and use nails to create artwork. I think people never think nails can create an artwork before, even me also. From all the artwork i seen until now, the thing i get is as a design,you must be creative. Because if not, people wont like your design. Designer also cannt copy other idea. But actually, i am not creative enough. Because everytime i do my design, i cannt have my own idea. I need use a lot of times to think my idea. It wastes a lot of times, and sometimes the idea is not creative. I know i am still learning how to design, need step by step to learn it. I believe that I will be a successful designer one day.
