Not my favorite type of work. Even when I've done it. It's a lot like painting by numbers to me.

Wow that is very interesting

Is it difficult in terms of SKILL or just in terms of time and effort?

Can you explain what you mean by paint by numbers?

Do you think someone could ever do an entire comic book in this style?

Is this a difficult style to TEACH?

Excellent thread! I suggest you save the photos and upload them to a reliable host. That will make the page load way faster and smoother. Also, if the IG page gets deleted you wont have a bunch of gaps in your thread.

Well Alex Ross is a perfect example of a guy that does (sort of this work) in his comics. That would be the closest to it as he uses models and uses actual models for his work.

There are people (real talk) that can't draw without using a subject -BUT- they can do photorealistic work like it's nobodies business. So in effect it's like painting by numbers. You place the color and shading in the corect spots to create a pretty accurate copy of an image. I'm more of a fan of those who can use, photos but expound on the actual image.

Oh and to answer your question I strongly believe that ALL human beings can do photorealistic work. If you can memorize your favorite song (perform it with some semblance of reflection) then you can copy light and shadows. It takes patience, trial and error and you can get it. All humans are capable of this, the biggest barrier is yourself.

so you don't believe you can be to OLD to learn to dram?

You obviously not only had a GIFT but a work ethic to hone your craft...

I remember SO MANY kids who could draw nearly exact replicas of comic book characters free hand and just...

lost it.

Do you believe you can NEVER really LOVE it?

Well I honestly think the younger you are the easier it is to pick up. My best employees are the kids I snatch up at 15. They soak up knowledge like a sponge. But my older kids who come to me struggle to grasp concepts.

Illustrating has a lot to do with repetition. You do it so much that the garbage starts to look like something decent. You are always learning though. You have to pull from everyone and everything

Can you recommend any routines or books or starter materials for a kid?

That was me.
I couldn't draw a stick figure now.
Honestly, the desire for it left me a long, long time ago.
I do other shit.

That is mindboggling to me...

How do just LOSE that?

I bet your peeps were begging you ti draw for them too.

That is why i keep telling these kids they do not fully appreciate the internet and social media making the world so small

Kids like you would have access to programs and real job opportunities.

Respect you moved on to bigger and better.

I lost interest to instruments.
To be honest, I could probably still freehand Spiderman. It would just suck.
Its not that you lose it; you just drop it. Then, you get rusty and forget techniques, etc.
At least that's what it was for me.
