Photo or Drawing???

I recently came across the art by Dirk Dzimirsky from Germany.  He takes very emotional photgraphs of people and turns them into large scale very emotional photorealism drawings and paintings.

I want to know what you think of his artwork.  Do you think it is a photo or a drawing?





Does this intimidate you or inspire you?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  97. I dont get how people can create something so descriptive it looks like an actual photograph.There like literally copying a picture as if they were a printer.I just want to know how long it takes to do this and it better be at least a week or these people are aliens from another planet.

    ReplyDelete
  98. These pieces intimidate me. I look at it and I feel overwhelmed at how real the drawings look and how much talent, effort and time is put into those.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  100. These are so realistic that they could be photos. I wish I could be able to draw something like this. It's amazing how stuff like this is worth far less than some paintings that look like splatters though.
