VIRAL | Realistic AlDub charcoal drawing makes waves online

Seems legit, right? This is actually an artists sketch of AlDub made by Hans. 

A young Filipino urban planner's time lapse video of what seems to be a wonderful piece of work showing awesome sketched charcoal portraits of breakthrough love team of the year AlDub, known individually as Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza aka Yaya Dub, has just gone viral.

The video which was posted by Hans Alcanzare, a 23-year-old Civil Engineering graduate from Saint Louis University, has obtained more than 64k views in his Facebook profile as of posting time. It was featured on Facebook page Tee Radio and has now gathered more than 150k views and more than 9k likes.

"I used charcoal pencil---soft, medium, and hard charcoal pencils. I used different line weights of graphite pencil: 8b, hb, h, 3h, 2b. (I also used) nylon brush for smudging. I used Bainbridge paper naman," Hans explained.

So, what's more from Hans?

He dwells in the motto that "it is never too late to be what you might have been." What inspires him is his mom. "She's always there to support me," he added.

Real talent deserves attention so for the first of many posts for the VIRAL tab, this one's definitely cool. Keep it up, Hans!
