The remarkable images are the work of Italian artist, Franco Clun, who spends up to 50 painstaking hours putting together a single picture.

And the artist says drawing his subjects lets him feel closer to the stars.

He said: "I started drawing famous people that somehow gave me something special back.

"I began to study the famous faces I thought I knew so well and I began to discover new details.

"At the end of each drawing, I feel I know so much more about the person I have drawn.

Franco sells his pictures for 500 Euros each (440) for a single A4-sized drawing.
