LOVELY STEEMERS

... at the beginning I had already made a post about my attempts to paint photorealistic pictures and portraits. Therefore, it may be that one or the other picture is already familiar.

Who does this kind of work must plan a sum of time for the perfect result and definitely have a rubber at home .

I am not a professional in this area at all and had only tried and played a bit so far. Since my first results seemed very nice, I made a few more attempts and would like to practice and learn a lot more in the future. Especially on walls with cans.
I've been making art all my life and trying to get mixed in all directions and paint everything, which may be a disadvantage as well, as I can not find a specific direction that I can work out perfectly.
On the other hand, I have too much fun to try out all sorts of materials and possibilities and to look at them. Maybe someday I'll stick to a style that I want to build and perfect.

My portraits are honestly painted with just one pencil.
First, I dont know a lot about pencils, and secondly, it worked quite well;) (I never really got into that.)

This is a HB pen lying on my the desk. I can not recognize the brand.
To voucher the "firstlines" I found another pen, which was very gentle and barely visible. Again, I know neither name nor strength.

The beginning looks like this on my works:

To create shadows, I use pencils of paper in 2 different sizes and my fingers the most.
In light, I leave the surfaces white or use an eraser pen which you can see here in the second step.

When portraying you should really take your time and try to paint exactly what you see on the template.
It is most important to hit the proportions one to one. Every little difference will be noticed. At least the person from the photo !!
It is not so tragic when painting light and shadow. Millimeter deviations will not be so noticeable as if the ear is too big.

In hyperrealism, everything should be exactly one to one identical!

Personally, I find that hair is one of the hardest parts of portraying and unfortunately I have stopped a few drawings for fear of "messing up" the picture.

What looked like this:

or this:

Of course, I also tried to draw hair and finish pictures.
One of them has become a collage with another artist from Berlin.

The model in the picture is a friend of mine and the lettering was painted by the Graffiti artist KOONE. (Taggings in the background and portrait are mine.)

A dark experiment.

Who knows this face?

Some more sketches, drawings and tests.

A much bigger challenge is to paint such pictures in color. Unfortunately, I have not tried that for lack of color knowledge and fear (which is total nonsense).
As a gift to a special person, I once made an attempt to paint a picture on paper.
It was simpler here that the paper was quite thick and especially black and therefore very different to paint than on cheap printer paper as I always do, which is probably stupid.
In my opinion, the picture looks quite ok, but is not a photo-realism.

Just some flowers

Very different is that with spray boxes! When working with cans, unlike paper, I can bounce back and forth almost infinitely to create my perfect transitions over time. Of course, that takes a lot of time and practice, but I imagine it easier. I also think that the bigger you paint, the easier it gets.

I have not painted so much photo-realism on the wall yet, but made some experiments which I would like to show you.

I painted these pictures in a restaurant in Swiss.

The red chilli

The selfcontained wine bottle

I painted water at a dentist place in Konstanz.

Here the result!

My first attempt to combine photorealism with comic looks like this:

Another try at our home in the kitchen.

When painting on the wall with spray cans I paint the shadows first and then can work from dark to light which makes the processing of dark shadows easier.
Therefore, I recommend the Firstlines and shadows to paint from the beginning with the darkest color.

Here is another wall that I painted 3 or 4 years ago, which I really liked.

The next two pictures were also a lot of fun and here i like the results.

Those Lips

And this burning police car from the 1st of May wall.

In any case, in the future I will be painting a lot more such pictures because that is a direction that I have always admired and observed with other artists.
Of course, I keep you up to date, show pictures of the structure, more videos and tutorials.

I hope you liked my contribution so far !?
