This Artist Makes Hyperrealistic Paintings, And Here Are His 19 Sketches That Show Off His Skills
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.

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.

Wow! The artist must have been practicing for YEARS!
These are amazing. I would love to watch him at work. Then I might get my brain to comprehend it.
Check out his insta. He has time lapse vids on there
Load More Replies...Nice work! I have been working on seeing how things actually look to help me with my drawing - it is much harder than I imagined.
I had a roommate in art school who could paint like this. He also had an absurd temper.
Reminds me of that meme where everything is cake, but instead of that now...everything is drawn My reality is a lie
