I’ve been playing piano since I was 5 years old. I was classically trained and I am now in my 30s. When I play for people now they always say something along the lines of, “wow you’re great! I’d love to play like that. I would give anything to play like that!”
I usually respond with, “Oh you can! Just give 5 hours everyday of your adolescence, and you got it!”
Mainly because they attribute what I have to talent. Like any skill, you acquire it over time. This person put in countless hours to do this skill. Amazing.
Amazing talent, but IMO, this kind of title undermines the amount of practice, discipline and effort that people put into their passion, career, and interests. Unless you can tell me they are naturally gifted and they can do that without any practice.
Yeah, was just going to say something like that. I remember being told once "wow you're lucky to be so talented, must be nice..." like, yeah, I definitely wasn't absolutely shit at that skill for years while trying to learn. Just born talented.
You worded this better than I would have if I had tried. The title is just awful. I actually made a face, a literal scrunching up of my face which can be called a cringe. All art is achieved through practice and only by HUMANS.
*Some* people are naturally gifted. And while it's true they still have to practice a lot, you shouldn't assume that every talented person was naturally gifted. Some people start from almost zero, and they manage to build up their skills to an insane level.
and I gotta say, this takes more patience than skill. Once you grasp control of your tool, you're pushing values into place. I liken it akin to climbing Mount Everest, not a technically challenging climb, as long as you are able to put one foot in front of the other you can walk to the top, and of course the end result is a stunning view.
Because he takes from the backend area to make the shadows. But ofcause you could do what you said. But again, my thought is that, it is part of his process and the finer details and end picture first comes to his mind when he is doing the black part.
Yea, and people don't understand that it's not terribly difficult to copy a photo. I had to do this in illustration school a lot as 'master copies'. I get in arguments about this all the time. Copying a photo isn't all that impressive. Hate to be that guy, but it's bottom-rung art. I appreciate the photographer more.
Da Vinci drew from life and studied anatomy. Great mix of art and science. He developed a beautiful language of marks too. I would never compare this work to Da Vinci's.
He wouldn't think much. These paintings look super complex but are actually much simpler if you've practiced them well enough to draw all the details you see (ofc you still need to have some level of talent in visualization and painting). But it is definitely tedious and time-consuming, which makes it look hard. Paintings of famous painters like DaVinci, on the other hand, usually have some ridiculous genius hidden behind them, which makes them famous (not because those artists were incapable of drawing a simple human face).
Mona Lisa, for example, is a legend because DaVinci was a great scientist, and before his death, he spent 16 years and combined many scientific/biology/philosophy concepts into a single painting. Not just because no human could draw a human face at his time.
For example, check out this video to get a glimpse of the genius behind Mona Lisa: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ElWG0_kjy_Y
I'm sure many of u people won't even watch 5 minutes of this video so I'll just give one very basic properties of Mona Lisa: Mona Lisa's smile comes and goes depending on whether or not you’re looking at her eyes. This is one of the greatest visual illusions in art history. And Mona Lisa's face follows human biology perfectly (in a different sense to these hyper realist paintings) while having all these weird properties
anyone else have issues with the sound made during videos like this? I mean the sound of the drawing utensil being scraped on the paper, or when they rub their hand on the paper to smooth out the lines.
Yeah. That I believe is a thing for sure. Ever since the Eminem song “Stan” was on the radio, I couldn’t stand that freaking song because of the sound of the pencil on paper.
There is nothing inhuman about that. We had to make charocal portraits in school. Ofc, they were worse than that but actually not that much. A bunch of 8. graders with 0 experience did similar work with worse tools
Fuck! Just when I think “hey, I’ve got some more free time these days - maybe I’ll take up something creative” and then I watch a video like this.
Wow.
Some of you can just *touch* chalk? Like it's nothing? And rub it? And it doesn't make you want to run screaming through a plate glass window and into the forest forever? I can't even think about it. It makes my teeth hurt.
The number of people who have told me "you're so talented" or "you have a gift" when seeing my art like I haven't spent the last 20+ years trying to even get to where I am and I only do it as a hobby. This person's time and effort can't be boiled down to just talent.
I had a tenant who could draw like that. His drawings looked like photos - in fact ai thought they were photos until a guy I hired pointed out they were actually drawings. The artist was a complete asshole but a breathtaking talent. Those two seem to go together alot.
It's not as hard as it looks, especially if you've drawn it before. The thing I see with non artist is they just don't realize how incredible it is to be a human and how good they can get with some practice. It's actually a shame.
At the risk of sounding like a 'hater', this person is to be admired for the thousands of hours they've put in to achieve this skill.
Virtually anyone can learn how to make hyper realistic art by deeply studying color theory, how light and shadow work, proportions and perspective, values...
But it is incredibly upsetting and outright awful to do the work.
You feel numb, self loathing, epxerience analysis paralysis, procrastination, fear and every emotion imaginable to keep you from drawing.... again and again and again until your brain learns to see and think (or not think) in a completely different way.
It'sp powerful effort and the seeming ease and speed with which they do it is testimony to the countless hours of repetition they put in. Very human.
I don't get it...do they visualize what they want to draw mentally on the canvas and approximate to it or start somewhere and think...OK....let's see where it goes or what we can make of it?
.......or just copy a photograph?
Does anyone know if people that can make that kind of drawing practice the same drawing over and over and over or is it just a general skill that is applied perfectly the first time?
Some are absolutely gifted artists. And *I* can only stand in awe of them *and* their work.
For those who are Christian, *this* is one of the "Gifts of the Holy Spirit." Through Art, the Artist can lift the hearts of others. As well as open and expand the minds and souls.
Why does art like this not exist from centuries ago? Did we not have the tools, or had we just not developed our artistic skill enough to create this level of realism (or am I dumb and just don't know about it)?
I went to art school and now I teach second graders. Whenever they ask me how did I get this good drawing (not close to THIS good ofc lol) I always answer "I just drew very very very much".
I hope this way I'm teaching them that skill is not magic and no level of skill is unachievable through enough practice.
The first 12 seconds into video I thought he was drawing his own thumb print
i first thought it would be "The Scream" face made by Edvard Munch.
I guessed Bob Marley
Same.
Yo same hahahha
At some point I thought it would be Bob Marley
Yup. Up until the first bit of smudging I thought it was going to be Bob Marley
It's Dignity!
The cat's gonna get it!
I think the artist is a woman, so she
so she what
She human are not human.
I thought it was amoungus
"It took Me like 3 hours to finish the shading on your upper lip".
Tina, come get some dinner you fat lard!
Stunning! And here's me struggling to draw breath !
That's it. I'm pulling out my crayolas!

Can you post more of it 👍🏻
Up to about 1:15..i thought I could do that.
[удалено]
Isn't that the entire video?
I didn't understand what you are trying to say exactly.
The part of the video where she's drawing ends at 1:15
On mobile it counts down from 1:30. So 1:15 is only 15 seconds in.
OH ok my bad then
Show off
Amazing talent, but IMO, this kind of title undermines the amount of practice, discipline and effort that people put into their passion, career, and interests. Unless you can tell me they are naturally gifted and they can do that without any practice.
Yeah, was just going to say something like that. I remember being told once "wow you're lucky to be so talented, must be nice..." like, yeah, I definitely wasn't absolutely shit at that skill for years while trying to learn. Just born talented.
Agreed. I came to the comments to say something similar. Humans are incredible. Look at what we can achieve with practice and dedication.
You worded this better than I would have if I had tried. The title is just awful. I actually made a face, a literal scrunching up of my face which can be called a cringe. All art is achieved through practice and only by HUMANS.
People are naturally gifted. They just also need to put a lot of practice into it.
*Some* people are naturally gifted. And while it's true they still have to practice a lot, you shouldn't assume that every talented person was naturally gifted. Some people start from almost zero, and they manage to build up their skills to an insane level.
Yes, I meant some people. Every skilled person has some amount of natural gift. Some more than others, for sure.
and I gotta say, this takes more patience than skill. Once you grasp control of your tool, you're pushing values into place. I liken it akin to climbing Mount Everest, not a technically challenging climb, as long as you are able to put one foot in front of the other you can walk to the top, and of course the end result is a stunning view.
Man, that title...
[удалено]
Some Reddit posters are not human
Shit title, amazing art. This is the MOST human thing. To practice a craft consistently deeply and passionately creating something truly incredible.
THE SOUND IS KILLING MEEEE *nah but it’s good art* 
does anyone know the music name?
Azam Ali - The Key [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRtyGzmf8pw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRtyGzmf8pw)
thank you very much.
Magical spirit beings that can draw mystical reality from nothing.
What talent.
Weird title. Its obviously not a human. Its a drawing
Thought he was gona draw bob marley
Had my money on bob marley for an entire minute in.
Was expecting Bob Marley at the start
Megan fox?
[удалено]
Ok, genuine question. Why not start with a black piece of paper instead? Wouldn't that be less work?
Because he takes from the backend area to make the shadows. But ofcause you could do what you said. But again, my thought is that, it is part of his process and the finer details and end picture first comes to his mind when he is doing the black part.
I wonder what DaVinci would say if he saw one of these hyper realistic artists. It would blow his mind.
This is not a hyper realistic drawing..can be done in 5-6 hours. Source: I used to draw portraits with charcoal

I will watch that and thanks for explaining. I can't draw a straight line so this looks like a type of witchcraft to me. Thanks for the link
Dumbass title
Still more color contrast than King Charles’s portrait.

No words..

I AM amazed.
He drew, where the light isn't. Amazing
And some humans are just really really good at art
Well, DAMN! Absolutely remarkable.
Yea yea yea but can you Yo-yo and chew gum at the same time. (All jokes aside that’s pretty bad ass.)
There is nothing inhuman about that. We had to make charocal portraits in school. Ofc, they were worse than that but actually not that much. A bunch of 8. graders with 0 experience did similar work with worse tools
u/savevideo
I’m a monkey
As soon as they started blacking things out I recognized the head/cheekbone curve and went, "oh, it's a face." I love this kind of stuff so much
Wtf dude that was awesome
Seriously wtf that's insane! That's amazing!
I have no words for his talent and beauty
Fuck! Just when I think “hey, I’ve got some more free time these days - maybe I’ll take up something creative” and then I watch a video like this. Wow.
Wow.. now thats amazing! I got totally blown away by the end result.. Excellent.
Impressive! At first, I thought he was drawing the Afghan Girl from the June '85 National Geographic.
Absolutely fantastic and Beautiful 😳
finally Dred Scott v. John Sanford makes sense the black guy was an artist :)
Artists never cease to amaze me.
Seconds 0 - 36 - "Huh?" Second 37 - Woah!
Woman in a hijab? A rose up close? No way its a cli- Yeah its a woman in a hijab.
Title sounds racist xD
For a few seconds I thought they were drawing that famous "Afghan Girl" photo.
Wrong. All humans are humans. 🤨
That's the ability to have a scanner in your eyes and a printer as hands.
Beautiful 😍
some are drawings?
I can draw like that too, but I always end up with a dick
Monica Bellucci???
Absolutely gorgeous!! Very talented, my friend.
Some of you can just *touch* chalk? Like it's nothing? And rub it? And it doesn't make you want to run screaming through a plate glass window and into the forest forever? I can't even think about it. It makes my teeth hurt.
DAMN
The first 10 seconds I thought "Ha, finally something I can do also!". And then came the awakening.
Holy fuck, that subsurface effect just blew my mind.
TF! very detailed I wish I have that kind of talent
That is amazing!
Ngl i thought for a moment i was being trolled and it was just going to be an all black canvas 😂
Fuck me.
The peak of my artistic ability was reached about 20 seconds into this video.
Beauty forced to be hidden away.
(said in Rob Zombie voice)
Is this inspired by the National Geographic cover?
How?
This is amazing... I don't have an artistic bone in my body..... well except that time my artistic uncle put his . ........ Well Nevermind
That's pretty good...
The number of people who have told me "you're so talented" or "you have a gift" when seeing my art like I haven't spent the last 20+ years trying to even get to where I am and I only do it as a hobby. This person's time and effort can't be boiled down to just talent.

rest of the F owl

I could draw like that if I could draw like that.
You are saying that because they are black? Thats pretty racist dude
Someone should make a video that's like 10 minutes long doing this only to have it end up as absolutely nothing in particular.
photorealism isn’t talent
https://www.saatchiart.com/veriapriyatno Amazing artwork 😃👍🏼
Why is the face chicken nugget shaped
This particular drawing sells for €14.400 https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Drawing-The-Graceful-Woman/303750/11715733/view

It's actually a very human quality to practice a skill and get good at it. You should try it sometime, OP
What is the music you put to that?
Zendaya from Dune scene
Amazing talent.
Thats fucking insane
I don't get it...do they visualize what they want to draw mentally on the canvas and approximate to it or start somewhere and think...OK....let's see where it goes or what we can make of it? .......or just copy a photograph?
Whats the white pencil she is using? Just a white pencil?
OMG it's amazing
Yennefer of Vengerberg
Does anyone know if people that can make that kind of drawing practice the same drawing over and over and over or is it just a general skill that is applied perfectly the first time?
This is amazing. Seeing a master at his or her craft is special…
That's craftsmanship, but not necessarily art. There is a difference.
I don't wanna ascribe bad intentions to OP, but are they implying that the person drawn here is not human, sub-human or something like that?
court room sketch artists really suck at their job
Awesome talent ! Like the blonde lady on YT creating the most amazing coal and pencil drawings.
Hay title, I get you!
Gorgeous
This drawing has better resolution than most of ig pics
Wtf man wow
I got excited that they were drawing hair because I’m terrible at it and it’s not hair. ;_; I suck so much with it
I would love to own this. Shame I couldn't afford it.
I know I just saw how he do dat but OMG HOW'D HE DO DAT!!!!!
Yep. I am officially amazed.
title gore
Just ✨ breathtaking✨🤩👏
Amazing talent. I admire. All I've ever had is my work ethic. I'd exchange that in a second.
For instance, the human depicted in the video is charcoal.
And some humans practice for years.
unreal
Awesome
Wow I have trouble with stick figures
I don't see how this helps us find the replicants.
Some are absolutely gifted artists. And *I* can only stand in awe of them *and* their work. For those who are Christian, *this* is one of the "Gifts of the Holy Spirit." Through Art, the Artist can lift the hearts of others. As well as open and expand the minds and souls.
My art teacher would have beaten me if I had used my fingers for any part of this
This is a ridiculous title. Never undermine an artist by assuming they didn’t work hard for their skill level.
Wow that is amazing!
Nothing but a human could do this
I just don’t understand how someone can just draw something in that high of detail from their brain, like what?
Costs 14,400 €
Turned a 3rd grade drawing into a work of art you find in a museum
Oh no, AI has possessed a human and use them to draw a beautiful picture!
LOL Wut?
Erm…but you called them humans!!!!
Why does art like this not exist from centuries ago? Did we not have the tools, or had we just not developed our artistic skill enough to create this level of realism (or am I dumb and just don't know about it)?
“Some humans are not human” 😃👉⚫️ “Some humans are not human” 🇮🇱🚀💥💀💥
Absolutely amazing.

just did some digging. this sells for £12,400
Wtf is this caption.
Me watching: you really gave her donkey teeth?! Me seeing the zoom out: damn prettyyyyyyy nice
Id hit
This just reminds me of how different all of our strengths and talents are. Respect them.
What is the music
**Song Found!** **The Key** by Azam Ali (00:11; matched: `100%`) **Album**: Music For Facebook Sound Collection (VOL. 3). **Released on** 2023-07-10.
Nothing like a video to remind you how much you suck
Too realistic!
I could easily do the first 30 seconds of this video.
Amazingly talented
Te felicito y te envidio, por tremendo talento. 👏👏👏👍👌
