Speed Drawing Hyperrealism // A fish is talking art #2

in #art7 years ago (edited)

After talking about my love for abstract and random art I want to tackle a topic that is quite the opposite.
Hyperrealism aka. Dont stop til its perfect.

Introducing myself to hyperrealism

I have been drawing, or at least trying to draw hyperrealistic for about 6 years now. When I was younger I was used to just draw from imagination which was rich and full of colors, different faces and fascinating patterns.
When I got older that imagination slowly faded away and I focused more on photography. I did that til I was 14 after I started to draw a photograph I had taken before.

I was more and more drawn to this style of art. I started to practise hyperrealism without knowing that it was called hyperrealism. I searched on google or on tumblr for suitable photographs. The pictures could be of ANYTHING. Crystals, hands, instruments, animals, you name it. I soon discovered my love for drawing women (=babes). And I didn´t stop til the drawing somewhat looked like the photo.

Eventually I started a youtube channel to share my artwork with a community:

Striving to achieve perfection

Hyperrealism to me means perfection. And its something about striving to achieve perfection that drives me crazy. It makes me obsessed, it makes me go to bed late, it makes me skip my meal, it satisfies me but it also frustrates me. This is the complete contrary to the experimental art I was talking about in my last post.

Hyperrealistic paintings always leave me flabbergasped! But there is also something so beautiful to paintings that are close to hyperrealism. Those alterations, those little flaws that make the painting look just a tiny bit different than the photograph are so nice to look at! Maybe because it reminds me that the artist is still human and makes mistakes like I do.

I think I am still far from hyperrealism but I will never stop practising and I am enjoying this journey too much to want to be at the end of it.

Wow richtig stark!!

Your hard work is worth it. Good outcome congrats 😃

thank you! :3

Fantastic work and welcome to the Steemit Community. I think one of the easier ways to obtain more realism without even having to improve is to draw larger. It lets you really get all of those details and subtleties. You have to be pretty patient to do it. Again fantastic work. I'm following to see what else you get up to around here.

Yesss exactly; I discovered too that when I draw everything in larger size it is SO much easier to get all these details! Thank you so much! :)

Ohh die sind der Hammer!! O: Ich bewunder es wenn Leute so viel Geduld und Zeit in Bilder stecken können, ich bin meist nach einer halben Stunde schon so "meh fertig" |D Ich hab vor Jahren mal ansatzweise etwas in die Richtung versucht, hat auch echt Spaß gemacht weil es ja auch was meditatives hat. Richtig großartige Arbeiten! <3

Dankeschön! Mir gehts auch oft so! Ich tu ja eigentlich viel mehr sketchen und doodlen aber es ist auch ganz erfrischend wenn ich so hin und wieder etwas größere 'projekte' habe und auf etwas hinarbeite :D

Das glaub ich dir gerne :) Ein Hindernis das ich seit Jahren mal wieder überwinden möchte ist auch mal wieder länger als 2 Stunden an einem Bild sitzen, das ist nur echt nicht leicht für mich |D Naja, weiter üben üben üben :D

Beautiful ! I follow and resteem
