    • its witchcraftApeRobot
    • A photograph would have been faster, just saying...Maaku
    • it's called talent, you've probably never heard of it.ApeRobot
    • prove itBen99
    • Why would anyone spend so long painting such a boring face?Ianbolton
    • she isn't boring to meBen99
    • isn'tdbloc
    • lol @Ape, nice one.Maaku
    • imagine spending your entire leisure time painting something that looks like a photograph - what a massive step back in artistic progress. BIG MEH.fadein11
    • @aperobot: It's not talent - it's patience/experience... there is a huge difference.fadein11
    • isn.t$moldero
    • it's autism._niko
    • Nah, that's definitely a talent. That shit looks real to the point where I'm actually trying to see if it's not a photo.fyoucher1
    • lolBen99
    • $i.nt'sBen99
    • You're a painting!pango
    • Not saying this is easy, but with a massive enough canvas, it's much easier to fill in the tiny details like pores and creases.iCanHazQBN
    • This is purely technical skill. Requires no imagination or artistic impression.iCanHazQBN
    • I knew a girl like this in school. She could reproduce anything. But if you asked her to be creative and invent something from her mind, she couldn't.iCanHazQBN
    • So, the guy is a technician, not an artist. iCanHaz says it.Ben99
    • this is the same as training those elephants to paint http://www.indusladi…_niko
    • mind boggling. what if there is no model and he thought this face up out of nothing? would that be creative?HijoDMaite

    • Would not bang?Ben99
    • The focus of something like this will always shift to the technique or skill of the painter. Not the content.iCanHazQBN
    • The painter isn't expressing anything but his skill. If he wanted to capture the girl's "essence" he could've achieved the exact result by taking a photo.iCanHazQBN
    • The fact that he chose to paint it instead means he just wanted to show off his technical ability.iCanHazQBN
    • So he traced from a photo or real life that looks just like the original. Then he scanned or took a photo of his work that still looks just like the original...pango
    • Meta...pango
    • What's next? Divided by zero?!?!pango
    • its great, but hey guys, have you ever seen recent paintings? or digital paintings? they're realistic as fuck... nothing new herefeel
    • i love the color on her eyes and her expression, not so much her tattoofeel
    • A photograph would have been faster, the painting is uglyi_was
    • pores.MHDC

    • she's attractive.docpoz
    • lol we're bugging about this glorious artist whose work none of us could ever do.. cuntsmekk
    • I can take a photo and it would look just as real.pango
    • Paint More! QBN Less!tap
    • A photo would never have the texture of a painting.hotroddy
    • I think she is exquisite. Far from boring. I am in love in fact lol.rabbit
    • "glorious artist"? Hmm. How is this creative or imaginative? He's a color copy machine with great brush control. He's just reproducing what he's seeing.iCanHazQBN
    • ^ what he saidfadein11
    • Photo would never have the tenure of the paint? Then why try so hard to paint like a photo? Or painting would never have the same texture as photo?pango
    • The texture ensures that the painting is one of a kind. No two alike. A photo can be mass produced.hotroddy
    • So the advantage of a painting is for investment and bragging? "I bought this painting for how much and it's one of a kind" :Ppango
    • quite how anyone can say this is boring or shes painted a crap this or whatever, just shhtaaaap, look at it! ITS A FRIGGIN PAINTINGcruddlebub
