- IV -


I think any body who admires art can appreciate those artists who have the ability to recreate exactly what is in front of them whether it is a person, a still life they have set up or a beautiful landscape that they wanted to capture. I have always been extremely jealous of these artists, even more so if they can do it all... those people who no matter what you give them they can just rock it. After I gave some thought about what I wanted to blog about next I went searching through Google to find some images that would fit. While I can find a ton of images that I loved and had inspired me, not all of them have the artist's name.

The first drawing I came across that really grabbed my attention was called 'Reflections' and it is a still life sketch made using pencils, blending stumps and tissue by Brian Duey.


 

Brain Duey captures these images perfectly that it almost looks like a photograph. The shading is seriously impeccable, he didn't miss even one little detail. The angles are proper which makes it look so realistic that you could almost grab the glass and take the shot. I guess you are just born with this kind of talent, the way he sketches each spec of light, the reflection of the cigarette in the lighter and shadows on the wall and ground surface all make it work. The forum that he posted on stated that this took him 10 hours to complete, I would definitely say that was time well spent.

When I came across the next artist I just sighed, because his work is actually just perfection . His portraits capture the gleam in the eye, the highlight within the hair, the angle of the jaw and definition of the arm.

I came across the Canadian artist of these portraits, Denis Poirier on the Deviant Art website. You can check out more of his stuff by clicking this below.
