I would also like to say, as a beginner learning how to draw what I see, even as some say copying a picture is how I learn to do the skills I will need to create this type of Art form my eye. <br /><br />Some of these post sound like Sour Grapes.

Another popular technique is called stroking technique where you use a strain of paper or finger to create blends smoothly. The combination of these techniques pencil artist eloquently capture the desired effect on the paper.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.promotionalpensrus.co.uk" rel="nofollow">promotional pens</a>janysekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17269063278880644532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-49617272531949449442010-09-07T21:30:24.084-07:002010-09-07T21:30:24.084-07:00Very nice Pencil drawings <br />I like also Dirk Dzimirsky his <br />pencil drawings lookin more realistic to me<br />like this here:<br />http://lh4.ggpht.com/_qVaS89i_nfA/SfFsxbi1mgI/AAAAAAAAHu8/-856wmC228Y/s640/0efe2772673810ff381ed11.jpg<br /><br />And Oil-paintings <br />I like very much of Iman Maleki from Theran<br />He did received the William Bouguereau award<br />http://www.imanmaleki.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-34609228248067467952010-06-10T05:46:20.879-07:002010-06-10T05:46:20.879-07:00As stated previously in this thread these are mostly done as exercises, and copying the masters and now widespread photoes are an excellent way of doing so and has been used in art academies since basically forever (the copying not photos obviously) and I can&#39;t see why he&#39;s not allowed to show his technical skill with these and the photograhper should be rather pleased that an artist would use his or her work. These drawings take an incredible amount of time to do, so no they are not necessarily photoshopped just because they are accurate. <br /><br />Another artist I would recommend in this category would be a Danish girl named Zindy: zindyzone.dkAngelicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-50806860196270354392009-08-01T03:41:39.996-07:002009-08-01T03:41:39.996-07:00I enjoy the fact that the artist is probably fully aware that s/he is regurgitating another person&#39;s hard work down the eager throats of celebrity-obsessed halfwits.

(very loose in my opinion If Fairey&#39;s work is &quot;stolen, I&#39;d have to agree with the camp that this artist, while a talented draftsman, is using the photographer&#39;s eye for composition, value, pose, personality, etc. as a crutch. Great technical exercise, but where would he be without a photographer?

Drawing that accurately is very hard using a photo because he can&#39;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.<br /><br />Just saying they should be judged separately, not compared. Still, very nice.
