Tuna Ferit
Youse have caught on to the fact that I write entries with graphite on paper before posting, but I may give it up after seeing what Tuna Ferit can do with that medium.
Looking at the construction levels for the Milla drawing is interesting. It's always cool to see the process. It adds to the appreciation. It's kind of like seeing how a magician does a trick - you can understand how it works even if you still could never replicate it.
When you click on it and go to its own page, under Artist's Comments. The Zoomed Details are also good - they at least almost make me believe he might be human.
The other drawings on that page are not, in my opinion, on the same level as the Milla one. Although they are still obviously exceptionally good in terms of technique. I'm not surprised his freelance stuff is mostly medical illustration, though.
I find this kind of drawing pointless. The technique is impressive, but you need more than that. There were artists who could draw as well as Leonardo, so what made his work art?
This guy lacks any creativity. This might as well have been produced by a machine.
Is that kind of perfection in shading legal?

He says that Milla image took 22 days to do.
ReplyDeleteEven if I had the talent I wouldn't have the patience for that kind of thing. You don't get that time back! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut did you see what was reflected in the eyes? Gorgeous stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can see something is, but what?

ReplyDelete"Looking at the construction levels for the Milla drawing is interesting."
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. And it's kind of ironic that he has to provide them in order to prove that his doodling is not a photograph!
What do you need a camera for when a pencil gives you the same (or better) results? :-)
Well, without cameras he'd have to get movie stars to sit for him for three weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere'd you find the stages of the Milla drawing?
