I’ve Been Training Myself To Draw Photorealistically For 3 Years, Here Are Some Of My Best Works (24 Pics)
Charcoal is the main medium I used, with graphite for the finer details. Every once in a while, I'll use tiny points of white paint for the highlights.

Stasis V1.3, 2018
This is the only one I can tell is a drawing. But only because I know it's a drawing. If it wasn't in the title j would think it was a photo edited strangely
I can kinda tell by the mouth. It looks more blurred and less realistic.
Small Portrait Of Madison, 2018
There is so much detail! Imagine having to spend that much time on that! Well, it sure pays off.
Face Your Self, 2019

How To Preserve A Ghost Pepper, 2018
"The Bhut jolokia, also known as ghost pepper, ghost chili pepper, ghost chili and ghost jolokia, is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than 1 million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). However, in the race to grow the hottest pepper, the ghost chili was shortly superseded by the Infinity chili in 2011, followed by the Naga Viper, the Trinidad Moruga scorpion in 2012 and the Carolina Reaper on August 7, 2013."

Part II - A Feast, 2018
They are ALL disturbing photographs. Is one of them YOU Dylan ??
You are undoubtely hugely talented but I just never understood the ultrarealistic painting wave... It would have been really helpful and indicated before photography became so precise but now??? Why not get interested in photography if it is it's effects you are looking for?
These are meticulous copies of photographs, but with flaws and distortions to show they are originals. The skill and patience required to create them is phenomenal.

I wish they would post a video of them actually doing the work. Time lapse obviously but it would be cool to see them work
Take a look at his YT channel. ;-) https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClAG_PawcxpjyuS97VPXwqA
Load More Replies...Any other art I've at least got a vague inkling of how it's done. With this...........consider my mind boggled.
Not much you can say about talent like this. It's just beyond compare. Phenomenal.
Incredible, absolutely beautiful work. Can I ask if you use quiet rooms or podcast, music when you work? What inspires this creativity that so many of us envy?
