trouble in the digital world...

Sun Jul 12, 2009, 12:15 AM
  • Listening to: "Battle For The Sun" album by Placebo
  • Drinking: tap water...its free
So the other day I saw a youtube video of someone doing a celebrity portrait(Jessica Alba). I thought it was pretty amazing how someone could discipline themself to do something so accurate in a 7 hour time frame.

In the end I thought: What the hell is the point of replicating a photo-reference? And in 7 hours? Too much free-time or waste of time? They could of just got the original photo and airbrushed off the grain-noise and would of had the extact same result done in less time.

Personally I would of given them serious respect if they did it on paper or canvas, but on digital its just...yeah...a waste of time. Like, I understand the versatility of using a computer to illustrate is very powerful, but where is the practicality in replicating images?

In result, I had a go at demonstrating what good practical digital drawings should look like.
If you don't like my style, heres a some celbrity portraits done by other deviants.

These guys have a flawless and unique technique:
