This guy is a gifted artists who illustrated pictures very realistically to the point that it looks like it was taken from a photograph. Very impressive. He maybe used a camera for his projects, but HE IS THE CAMERA.
Literally have no words of how brilliant this is! I'm an artist that does portraits using multi tones too but there is no way I could have so much patience to achieve this. Well done and respect. 👏
Jesse - truly great creations. It's unique artwork that is indicative of your talent. It's as refined as Michelangelo's. Truly remarkable that Jesse's artwork is done with pencils. Certainly this art is in a class of its own.
If you really wish to be that talented then start working your ass off. No one is born talented, after all talented people earned it. Study color pencil its quite a hard medium, but if you can master it you'll get a very nice artworks.
Beautiful talent 😻. Prismacolor yes can definitely do wonders . It's expensive yes. As well caran d ache ..other pencils also can try .... Paper quality also important & patience . If one practice every day I'm sure one can see wonders ... Let's try ...
Thank you for a fascinating insight into Jesse's techniques, he is a wonderful artist. One that I admire greatly. I have only just started using coloured pencils myself, and I am learning how to do hyper-realism like Jesse. I would love to know how Jesse achieves the original drawing before he uses coloured pencils. Does he use graphite pencil, tracing, or projector or a grid? Many Thanks Alan in the UK
i think he doesnt cake colours on the sirface, so the white pencil might still show... but actually any professional white coloured pencils should work
These things makes me more confident.....nd I try more....but I don't have expensive art supplies. I draw hyper realistic sketch with 0.25 cent ball point pen
You can get the same results with numerous different mediums, but pencil hits the right note for some people. I enjoy the process of working with pencil. Is it slow? Absolutely, but that's actually something I enjoy about it - it really puts me in a zone that leaves me feeling fantastic when I leave my drawing board after a session.
The challenge it presents- how far can you push yourself to make this as realistic as possible? For some, it’s about putting their own interpretation on it, hence the births of many a style since, well, man has created art- Picasso’s cubism, Dali’s surrealism, etc. For others, it’s about literally transferring to paper what your eyes see- some want to get as close to manually (drawn or painted) real as possible. Sure we have cameras, but technology is doing that for you. Why let technology do everything? Why not try to see what man can do instead of technology? Why not? Did you ever want to do that as a young child, draw something and see how real you could make it look? For some people, that challenge or drive never left and here they are!
Yes such a great artist. But there are many more on RU-vid how draws better than him. I am not saying that he is not drawing good but I think the art Insider should have taken heather rooney rather than him. But he is a great artist.
honestly hyperrealism is the most boring of kinds. it's a redrawn photo. take the photo then? it's only an applause for technical skill. no artistry. before someone argues yes i graduated art university. no one does this at an art university.
I appreciate your perspective. I thought the same but I realized that for some people this is the equivalent of a puzzle to a rock climber- how far can you go with it? What details do you notice about the rock? How hard can you push/challenge yourself with trying to be as close to real as non-photographically as possible? I don’t think it’s just the artistry, I think it’s the challenge it presents for people that draws them in. Maybe no one is well-versed enough in this type of art to teach it or to attempt it. Or maybe others do and are afraid of judgement/failure, that it won’t be seen as ‘good enough’? You never know!
