When we see hyperrealistic paintings, it seems that they might have taken forever to make. Of course, when you are just a beginner, that could be somewhat true, but with time, the skills tend to improve, and some artists use creative exercises that, for them, take only 30 min.

One such exercise is taking a thing you want to replicate and painting it side by side. Russian artist Sergey Artemyev uses this exercise to practice and shares the results on his Instagram. You will be amazed at how realistic his work looks. That only proves how talented of an artist he truly is.

Sergey makes hyperrealistic full-size oil paintings on canvas as well. And you are more than welcome to check out his fascinating work on Instagram.

OMG the front view- the only way to tell the difference is the shading underneath. Amazing.

    This does not compute.how can the drawing literally be longer than the spoon but doesn't look like it?

    That's how perspective works. If you make something longer, it might be a little shorter when you see it from a different angle

    What if the secret is he has two of everything, and then just takes photos of a print hanging next to the real object.

    To get the realistic 3D effect, the drawing has to be elongated. Look up 3D sidewalk chalk art, you'll see when looking at it from a different angle its all weirdly distorted.

    Are English cupcakes what North Americans would call muffins? Am I missing something? I know there is such a thing as an English muffin, but those are usually lighter brown, and round. Think the Egg McMuffin from McDonalds
