Is hyper-realistic portraits possible by hatching only?

Well, this question was there in my mind always. Because I strongly believe in good hatching.  

Google AI has provided the answer to the question. 

I need to learn new tricks.  I just love hyper-realistic portraits and I want to make a "more than perfect" portraits. 

And therefore I need to use range of pencils, blending,  layering and mix hatching techniques. 

Any help from blog readers will be helpful and highly appreciated. 

Have a good day.

Will Smith

I tried to make a hyper-realistic portrait of Will Smith. Meaning to the level that one is unable to distinguish whether it is a portrait drawn or a photo. 

It didn't turn out to be one. I spent 3 hours. 

I want to become a hyper-realistic portrait artist.  But I am able to only achieve realism and not hyper-realism.

Webtoon is my way

I made a few decisions in my art endeavor.  Webtoons are my way. By webtoons I mean comics for smartphones. Smartphone comics are suitable because I plan to tell an incident rather than a story.

I don't plan to get my comics published online.  I just want to improve quality over a period of 4 years.

I am upto 70% satisfied with my artwork.  And 60% with my coloring. I plan to improve this. In the potential.  In my style. I want my characters drawn like Tintin,  Archie's. Simple lines. Simple eyes, simple nose.

In artwork I lack actions. 

In coloring the gradience are not smooth. The distinct layers are visible.  Also I need to add another layer for light colors.  What I mean is just like shadows with a darker tone, I want to add lighted areas with lighter tones.

I don't study art or mathematics.  But I have a research mentality.  All my expressions in mathematics are done with the help of Wolfram Alpha.  In art I want to improve quality by following PDCA cycle. So it is research I do and not studying. 

Have a nice day!!

Finalized my coloring

You may have observed that my coloring in the earlier Webtoon was not good.

I have improved my coloring now. And finalized my drawing. I shall now take up "BEHAVO" subjects. Also I shall spend time in paper art and do paper portraits of important people.

Here is my latest art. Observe it in smartphone.



Have a nice day !!

Focus

Guys, I tried to make a Webtoon.  No. I am not going to publish my work on Webtoon.  The quality is not good. But instead I am posting in this blog.

Don't laugh at the work.

It is meant to be viewed in smartphone.  So view the image in a smartphone. Double click the image (in case the size does not fit) and scroll down to read the comic.
