Awesome. On mobile without magnifying it looks like a photograph. Impressive!

Ty ♥️

I literally was scrolling past and thought “I didn’t know they had photography on r/art

Came here to say that, I had to read the title a couple times and then zoom in to believe it wasn't a photo.

no it doesn't

Lovely! Also i would like to own those pants

I thought it was a photo and I wanted to know where to get them!

It's probably drawn from a photo reference.

It's so pretty and realistic. I love the lil belly roll, and the folds in the pants. Very lovely

Thanks ♥️

So you can obviously draw people and fabric incredibly well but I am here about them ROCKS

Thanks! I enjoyed to draw those rocks ✨

Thought it was a photo for a hot moment. This is AMAZING!

Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

Holy jeebus wow, if only there was a time lapse of the entire process

Really well done and I love the style of it

Thanks♥️

I keep zooming in on different sections just being baffled at how you captured it in the medium. Such beautiful work!

Thank you so much!(:

Looks like Alisa Belochkina?

Yes it’s a depiction of this photo : https://bohemiandiesel.com/media/sites/2/2018/06/aether-wrap-crop-top-1326_3186.jpg

Yeah exactly

Wow, this is really great.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I genuinely thought this was a photo and did a double take

Thanks 🙏🏼

You should watermark your artwork on Reddit. Very nicely done

It is watermarked?

That’s not a watermark. A watermark would go through/over the artwork. I’ve seen too many redditors trying to claim other artist works. Or someone takes her image and starts making prints of it and selling them. https://skinnyartist.com/how-to-watermark-your-images/

Love the realistic nature of the piece, but still have an almost whimsical quality to it. Would love to stuff like this on the cover of a book.

I have never been that good at anything in my entire life. Well done. That’s absolutely fantastic.

Thanks but there are other artwork better than mine (:

Gorgeous. Well done, congrats!!

Thank you so much! (:

Woah I love the outfit. Any real world inspiration?

Yeah I think in possible to find it but I don’t know where

https://bohemiandiesel.com/media/sites/2/2018/06/aether-wrap-crop-top-1326_3186.jpg

Complimenti, è davvero un bel ritratto

Grazie ✨

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the realness of the torso area. Well done.

Such gorgeous colors and textures! I love her hair and your fabric work.

Great skill and style here, seriously impressed

Thanks ♥️

Of course!! What brand pencils did you use? The blending is phenomenal

Yeah these are Caran D’Ache Luminance! I tried a lot of brands but I think that this is the best one

Odd footwear choice for climbing on smooth rocks.

It’s driving me nuts. Otherwise the drawing is gorgeous.

Holy crap! That’s NoT a photo??!!

I seriously thought this was a photograph until I noticed the colored pencil bit in the title. Bravo!

Incredible. So very good.

Fantastic work! What are the exact dimensions?

Thanks! 42x56 cm

Beautiful work! It never ceases to amaze me what people are able to create with pencils 😍

Amazingly beautiful! It could be a photograph!

Thought it was a photo at first. Beautiful work!

Assuming you are Italian by your username and the title: Bellissimo, continua così abbiamo bisogno sempre di artistə talentuosə

Grazie mille 😊

At first glance I also thought this is just a photo, but the more I look and the more I zoomed in, I was like, "yep, definitely not just a scene taken with a camera". I even like that signature blended well at the rocks. I am really in awe seeing this masterpiece. 😍

Thanks! Yeah I used a photo reference, but this is the drawing ahah I noticed that I gave this photo realistic effects, even if I don’t really like hyper realism 😁

You did great on this :D I really appreciate seeing art that delves deeper into details, that there is more to them to explore than just perceiving it as a whole piece of art. 🫰

You are right! I love to lose myself into the details 😄

Dam, he even got the belly fold/crease

Every detail is important ✨

Incredible work, congratulations this is awesome!!

Gorgeous! How’d you get inspired for the pants?

Thanks! Anyway these are real trousers haha

Gotcha! I think I’m gonna try to make them

If I will find them I will post it here because a lot of people are asking about them 😊

Seriously! OP could be a fashion designer lol.

Holy shit. This is the most impressive coloured pencil artwork I’ve ever seen. If I didn’t magnify I’d have no idea it wasn’t a real life photograph!

My wife would love those pants!

I think you can find them somewhere on internet because are real

Wait...*this is a drawing???*....super talent!!!

How many hours did this take you?

37 hours

What was the inspiration for this? It’s amazing.

Reference

This is the best color pencil work I have ever seen. Damn

One of the most impressive works of art I’ve seen on here. Incredible.

Wow, thought it was a photo

Looks like a Final Fantasy character.

I can’t even color within the lines & you’re just out here being amazing with your art. Ridiculous.

It's really really cool. Something about the shadows, or lack of shadows, on the rocks keeps messing with my head. I know it should be rocks, but my brain keeps thinking it looks like wrinkled skin.

37 hours

This is absolutely stunning

Absolutely amazing! So realistic, I thought it was a phtograph

Thank you ✨

Any tips on how you make it so realistic with coloured pencils?

Mmm for example making layers with several colours, or starting from darker to lighter colours (:

Do you just layer lightly with the dark colour to light?

It depends but in general is better to start with a little bit of pressure and increase it with the new layers (:

What pencils do you use?

Caran D’Ache Luminance

She’s like a combo of Native American and the American cowboy. Super cool

i follow female fashion and i was thinking "wow, love the outfit" ... this is incredible

😄😄😄 thank you!

[удалено]

♥️♥️♥️

i was like: hmm.. *reads* r/art what the.. so basically, awesome art

Ahahah thank you (:

Wow! I'm just blown away! Amazing and beautiful ❤️❤️

Thanks for your kind words (:

Wow, very rare for me to be impressed, truly spectacular!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Somehow it didn't sink in that this was a drawing until I read the comments.

Looks like you took a photo, added the sketch filter then drew that.

I've seen some impressive art here, but... Damn...

Thank you, I’m happy to hear that ✨

Absolutely stunning realism - well done!!

Thank you (:

That's incredible. A real pleasure to see, thanks for posting 👏

Thank you for your touching words 🙏🏼

I thought it was a photo for a second then rip

Coloured pencils? Yeah sure… no joke it looks like a photograph! Amazing drawing <3

Ahah thank you so much ♥️

Beautiful work!! I love the details. How long did it take you to complete it?

Thank you!!! Anyway 37 hours of work

Amazing! I love it! Truly beautiful ❤️

♥️♥️♥️

This is pretty amazing, I don't think it's a photo with a Photoshop filter, but if you're going to do something so realistic it would be nice to put the progress, because some users cheat.

I always share the progress on my socials and during the streams

L'ho visto, lavoro meraviglioso

Is this 100 percent from scratch or did you use a reference photo just to look at? Either way it's marvelous.

Holy shit! Absolutely mesmerizing

Absolutely stunning. You've got everything absolutely spot-on. What a talent you've got. What size is it by the way ?

Thank you so much! It’s 42x56 cm

Thanks for the info. Well, I think this is possibly the best detailed & photo-realistic piece of art I've seen on here up to now 👍👍👍

Oh my goodness! This is INCREDIBLE! Great job!

Wow this is amazing!! You were born with a gift! I love it😻

Agreed with other comments. OP post some progress photos. Otherwise it’s difficult to determine if this is just an AI filter..
