Photorealistic Drawings Just Take Time

Photorealistic Drawings just take time and after months of work it was so satisfying to be able to deliver the finshed picture to the client. In this video I show how I create the foreground element of the picture and just add a very subtle background tone to add depth. As a wildlife artist this is not a subject I normally do but it was a very special situation and Captain Jack's story will be covered in a future video titled 'The Story Behind The Picture', which will also go into the thought process that went into creating this drawing.

Thanks Jamie, I really appreciate your detailed descriptions of the drawing process. I'd love to hear more about how you determine the composition of your pictures, i.e., placement of subjects on the paper. Keep up the good work!

Great work Jamie. Always good to see new content from you on YouTube. The final piece is of course stunning. Contrast, value and composition all the perfect accompaniment to this masterclass in detail.

Stunning! I have a massive soft spot for shepherds, the way you’ve captured the texture of his fur is perfect! Thank you for sharing your process, both informative and inspiring!

Jamie, as always your work is impeccable. Truly a gift to watch you work, I liken it to the relaxation and calm that comes over a person that is watching the clouds pass through a perfect blue sky. Amazing stuff!

Hi Jamie. How long did this picture take to complete and how often did you work on it?
