Hyperrealistic Charcoal Drawing 'FIERCE' - Time-lapse

This is a very special portrait to me because for the first time I took the reference by myself and it made a big difference to me. Not only because I had many more details to work with but also because it is MINE and creating something unique is very important to me.
I immediately felt a deeper connection with it and more freedom than ever.
I did not care how long it would take, I just enjoyed the experience, and without realizing it I ended up working on it for 430 hours.
I learned soo much from it and look forward to my next piece.
Feel free to let me know what you think of this video and thank you for watching 🙏

Whose genius can concentrate his skills for this much time into some singular art, it truly becomes masterpiece.

That's just astonishing. It's interesting to me to see the size of the drawing ... I wouldn't have guessed that it was as big as it is without some context/scale. Really beautiful work.

Damn, you spent 400+ hours on this drawing. You have my respect!

I draw as a hobbyist myself, with graphite pencils on A3 paper. Portraits are my favorite subject and I also aim for realism, at least I'd like to achieve it one day. The longest time I have taken for one drawing is probably in the range of 15-20 hours over the course of about 12 days. I am stunned with the fact that you spent 430 hours for this drawing :D Right now I don't know how I would use 430 hours, it takes so much patience. Congrats, this is fabulous!

ART IS JUST LIKE Neverending universe ✨

O inacreditável é que muitas mulheres querem suprimir justamente esses ricos detalhes que compõem a textura da pele humana, os quais o artista reproduz magistralmente... Se dependesse delas, para contemplar a beleza de uma mulher real teríamos de recorrer a obras magníficas como esta...

U r hard work and dedication inspire me a lot sir, keep going.

Wow. My mind is blown. Truly like a photo 👌

[puchopro]

I would love to see a video showing your supplies, this is truly incredible. I use graphite and have experimented with charcoal but still was unable to get a black that breath taking. Your details are impeccable! The music, the real time footage, this entire video is just jaw dropping.

This shows off the charts technical ability. To be honest, I prefer a more loose interpretation vs. what looks like a photograph.

[AbdulMalik-blms]

This is a superb piece of art, and should be apreciated as such. It's not about editing, camera angles, visual effects or anything else. This is breathtakingly beautiful, I was holding my breath most of the time. Thank you for sharing such a unique experience.

LESS THAN 10K SUBS??? Wow. 430 hours is incredible commitment, and it certainly shows in your work. Stunning. I truly hope hope you get exactly what you want out of drawing, because this is the best work I've seen on this platform
