Wow thats insane!
Excellent work!
beautiful work! My God I wish I were that talented! Not quite accurate to call it "photorealistic".
copying photographs of celebrities isn't really the best use of what seems to be a fairly advanced grasp of rendering using a pencil..
Yeah, i saw these on deviantart. The man has decent technical skills, but as the person above said, copying photos isn't such an impressive thing.
But of course, nowadays most people don't have the slightest understanding of art, so anything 'realistic' or 'fantasy' will do.
It's an impressive skill. You might as well take a photo hey?
Maybe erase the background and then play around with some filters on photoshop...
honestly your judging someone with enough talent to portray a almost exact replica of a photograph. how can you possible think it isnt art. i can honestly say its one of the most hardest things to do because of how accurate every single line has to be. keep up your amazing work and fuck the rest of the insignifiCUNTS who think its cheap art.
It's not like you're born able to draw that well, copying celeb photos could be seen as PRACTICING to develop the high quality skill. Plus there's a mass appeal.
I copy picture to get better. But the ones I'm really proud of are the ones I draw by myself...but this guy/gal...OMG I wish I could even COPY that good.
yeah agreed with the one above :)...i suck at just trying to copydraw from pictures
How do you know he's not just photoshopping pictures?
Yeah, it seems like it would be easy for someone to do.
AMAZING!!! if you're not photo shopping this of course... still =)
I agree that it is not impressive to just create exact replicas of photos. Boring even. I like drawings with an idea behind it. Someone should tell the artist that awhile back there is this thing called a camera that was invented. Makes him/her obsolete.
Well... copying something real IS in fact, art. It's like saying a still life isn't a work of art. Being able to translate something real into pencil is art to me. And I would like all these morons to try to do the amazing work you do. Brava!
Although both are talented, Linda Huber is on a league of her own.
Very nice work but I don't think people should be comparing these to the art of someone drawing from their own minds rather than a photo. Drawing that accurately is very hard using a photo because he can't deviate from it at all. Drawing from your mind, however, you lack the base that photos give but you can also make the person look however you want. They both give restrictions and freedoms in balance with each other.
Just saying they should be judged separately, not compared. Still, very nice. Wish I could do that.
very beautiful :)

try copying a photo yourself, it is in no way easy. just like drawing from a still life, or life drawing isn't easy. making people look accurate...and THAT accurate is one of the hardest things to do in drawing. yes, it's not imaginative, but that is not all there is to art. there are plenty of people that only create work from their minds and it is considered awful and some of those people cannot actually draw anything with "accuracy". believe me, i have an art degree and have seen many people struggle.
if i saw this in a gallery, i would be sort of bored, but also impressed at the same time. drawing simple details such as the cornea of a person's eye can take hours if you can't get it right. so i appreciate the skill this person has. what might make this work "amazing" would be adding imagination to the work. but nonetheless, there is clear talent here, not to be shrugged off.
it may not be fine art but there is nothing wrong with recognizing and appreciating talent and ability of any kind. i could not do what this person does, therefore, i am impressed!
It's also not art in the sense that the artist did not create the composition, subject, mood, etc, that was already in the photo he/she copied.
Something of that quality takes a few hours at most to churn out, and is more of a fun practice than something to display as real art.
In a sense, the photo is doing the work for you, because the 3D person has already been made into a 2D image. Do figure studies next time.
Too bad all that talent is wasted on celebrities.
Gorgeous. I wish I could draw that good. I'm so jealous. =]
Shepard Fairey was just sued for using a time magazine photo as a loose reference for his portrait of Obama. (very loose in my opinion If Fairey's work is "stolen, I'd have to agree with the camp that this artist, while a talented draftsman, is using the photographer's eye for composition, value, pose, personality, etc. as a crutch. Great technical exercise, but where would he be without a photographer? And aren't these copyrighted photos?
i could do that
I enjoy the fact that the artist is probably fully aware that s/he is regurgitating another person's hard work down the eager throats of celebrity-obsessed halfwits. I have comparable rendering skills and I've certainly considered taking people's money for the privilege of defecating in their retinas, but that whole, "respecting the photographer thing," always stopped me...
