Not strictly photography, but still amazing

Wasn't sure where to post this so mods if you need to move it please do.

'The hyperrealist art is taken from a photograph but is produced in a non-photographic medium'

Pencil drawings then.

Project photo, colour in. Don't see the point frankly.

Could be why?

Well true, he's got his moment-of-fame gimmick for little real talent. Cash in.

If he could draw it without a photo to copy then it would be a different matter of course - that would be like being an artist!

I presumed that meant he just used a picture for reference?

I was never very good with tracing paper at school. Clearly this person has talent......

Many years ago, my Grandfather used to make negative black and white prints, then use pencil or ink to get a constant grey before bleaching the photograph away.
Quick and easy way to achieve a similar result, although not as much detail.

He takes the photos, then uses his own photos and copies them onto a piece of paper in pencil. He creates the whole thing. I think it's pretty awesome. The one of the water dripping off the persons face is absolutely incredible.
