Believe it or not, this is not a photograph but a painting! This type of art is called photorealism where the artist creates a Photorealistic painting which is by far the most difficult artistic style of painting to master.

Photorealism is NOT the most difficult artistic style to master. Actually, it's a lot easier because of the degree of technology available.

Observational naturalism is far more difficult. The most difficult styles are individualistic and center around a concept, not reality.

Listen to this guy, acting like photorealism is easy or something. What a joke.

I think this is hand painted, not computer generated.

Actually, this is airbrushed. Dru Blair is an exceptional airbrush artist who teaches seminars in his craft in Nevada, I believe. He does so much more than just faces of pretty girls too. Just google his name, you'll find out so much more about the guy. He's legend.

If you are trying to capture a photo realist style while drawing from life (real time that is), of coarse it would be more difficult then drawing from a still moment in time (a photograph). BUT This work is unbelievable. There few who can accomplish such technical skill. Unfortunately there are many people who fell challenged, offended, belittled but such art. One onto one's own.
