Share on FacebookThere’s a hyper realistic artist named Jeong Woo Jae who draws pieces called “the girl and her dog”. If you like hyper realistic art that’s visually interesting I would definitely recommend him

Technically, anyone can become that good. For anything. It just takes an awful lot of learning and practice. And a lot of passion obviously.

In this kind of painting technique is part of the composition. It’s not everyone’s taste. I am sure she’d be a bigger hit if she chose Harry Potter or Game of Thrones subjects. While not all her subjects are entrancing, I like her take on Ophelia, and her homage to Pre-Raphealite detail. I feel if you are going to waive your opinion around, support it with cogent argument.
I think these are amazing, especially the fact that they look like real people, not made-up models
Exquisite artwork! Your work inspires me to practice my own drawing skills even more to strive for such perfection!
Now that is talent. I love how he choose to paint run-of-the-mill people you could just meet in the street, like these are somebody's snapshots or holiday pictures. It makes it even more fantastic.
THESE ARE SO GOOD THESE CANNOT BE PHOTOS OMG THIS IS INCREDIBLE JUST WISH THE PHOTOS SORRY ART WAS A BIT MORE INTERESTING
Uff more hyperrealistic stuff. AKA the stuff I HATED studying in university. Yeah it's good but it's so close to real life it has no style, no uniqueness, no life. Show us some stuff with actual style and life for once, there are many amazing artists out there, yet you focus on the ones who's paintings have no soul.
While I do agree with the fact that photorealistic art might not seem very artistic to the eye, I'd say it's not always meant to be and has a different purpose - it's a presentation of the artist's will, determination, patience and skill to create an image so close to the photograph it's almost impossible to determine which is which - keyword being 'almost'. I have rarely seen a person copy a photograph 1:1 without enhancing a detail here or there, giving some part of the painting or drawing a little twist in one part or another, fixing the composition, adding accents and so on. Copying an image without criticism and understanding its faults is pointless indeed, although one might still argue it serves to practice the artist's skill with the materials, techniques and precision. Hyperrealism, Abstract Art, Pointilism, Fauvism and all the other art movements - these all served different purposes and focused on presenting different things, it's hard to give one more value over the other.

You're not very impressive and you're quite uninteresting
