Beautiful.. though the one titled as “Bride” is actually Lucille Ball, star of I Love Lucy.

fantstic as allways

some of these were really well executed and some weren’t so amazing. I’ve seen much better of sites like deviantart.com

Incredible! Thanks for sharing.

just awesome!!!!!

one word: wow

Your work is phenomenal and motivating. Thanks for posting.

sorry, but these have clearly been photoshoped.

Amazing,

Really Mind-blowing art.

Dirk Dzimirsky is clearly only photoshopping pictures. not much talent in that.

anjye, way to be a dick.

Love the eyes in your work.

Maybe you idiots should research before accusing an artist of photoshopping. If you think people cannot draw this well, you thought wrong. Just because you, yourself, cannot do it and you would have to be lazy and resort to cheating in photoshop, does not mean others are talentless and lazy like you.

lol at how rihanna’s forehead falls off the top of the page.

‘Shopped

where is emma watson?

I’ve seen similar drawings personallly. These are not photoshopped. I wonder how long it took to do these. Most defiantly several hours. Amazing none the less. I can only hope I can get that good eventually.

You are a brilliant artist! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Cheers,
Dean

To those people who think this is all by one person, the links to the actual artists are under the pictures. Go compliment them instead.

Its very beatifull drawing face……I liked it.

it really pisses me off at how so many stupid people who don’t MAKE art see things on the internet and instantly say something is photoshopped. just because YOU do not have that talent doesn’t mean OTHER people don’t

what do you think people did before photoshop retards… yeah, like the poster said they DREW/PAINTED/ETC and these are clearly examples of DRAWN pieces of art that look real. all of them except one are clearly drawn with pencil.

The Jessica Biel one is the only one that I would say may have been photoshopped enhanced, since the background is a stark white. most pencil drawings, as you can note in most of them, have some shades of grey in the background.

really though. i’m tired of stupid ignorant people saying “photoshopped” to everything on the internet. if you don’t believe it don’t bother posting. your idiot comments only make you look dumb.

Why only draw only females, there great, but why not any males? I understand females are more attractive for you draw, but would it hurt to have a male in at least one. I’m sure you could include the both in a nice joint photo. But I guess everyone other loser already dreams about their perfect romance, so why draw it? My closing points, just draw/ sketch something other than all close up faces of only females. In addition they are really life like, but because life is in color you could use some pastel or color medium. It’s easy to draw a full face on a whole canvas. So draw a body shot and try to include both genders next time you use your amazing talents.

I would LOOOOOVE to be drawn like this. I would love to have such an accurate and realistic portrait to show to family & friends. Does anyone know if she sells these…like if she’d make one for me?
Absolutely talented. I wish I was gifted.

Yucky! Anyone can trace from a magazine!! Most of these look like they were done done by a high school student who just figured out what shading is! Flat, crappy bubble-gum poo! Except for Dirk Dzimirsky I hate them all! Actually I also hate Dirk’s ones too, but just because he claims his name is Dirk!

Hi
You artists there think you might be able to pull off something this realistic with a normal #2 hb pencil only, or will you need some darker and lighter pencils(9h-9B)

your thoughts?

The one of Jessica Biel was the best. Not only was the artist very talented and technically perfect, but they managed to capture her perfectly. She’s fiesty and beautiful, and sassy. The artist captured the actress’ soul in the drawing. Way to go.

All without exception are beautiful.

Publish some of my drawings too….

Wow! That is real talent! Draw a picture of Katie Perry. I think that would be interesting!

All of you saying these are ‘shopped or “obviously by high school students who have just learned to shade” need to give your heads a good fucking shake against a wall. I’m a portrait artist, I’ve been drawing my whole life, and this is all very incredible, beautiful work. If you think this is easy, try doing it and tell me how far you fucking get. If you think these are ‘shopped, then for the love of god get the fuck away from your computer, go to your nearest art gallery and EDUCATE YOURSELF.

They r sooo beautiful!
But the shy woman is indeed, Gisele Bundchen, the model.

Jessica Beil! what a…

Now that’s true talent. Great work.

These are the most realistic drawings. They are just beautiful, you have an amazingly incredible talent. 100% amazing.

these are so amazing. i would love to see what a picture of me would look like. just saying. you are extremely talented!

First of all let me just say how amazing these drawings are. Simply breath taking! As an artist I know just how difficult it is to capture the true likeness of a person, not just their nose or eyes but the essence of them in the artwork. This is a wonderful comllection. Secondly I feel compelled to mention that Photoshop wont make an ugly or poorly drawn work lovely with a simple click of a mouse. People that think so have obviously never produced any artwork of substance. If you are not a skilled artist it will show, even if it is photoshoped. Thirdly to those of us who are working with photoshop and other paint programs, I do understand how difficult it is to master the software, it’s a brand new media that one must learn just like oil paints or graphite. Just because a computer is involved doesn’t mean it was easy or that these artists are tallentless hacks. Shame on those who are jealous and refuse to accept that others are more skilled than they are. I intend to show these drawings to my students with the hopes that I might inspire them to aspire to this level of greatness.

nice drawings i love them all.

Dude,your so talented.
I would die for one of these persnally for me.
Do you sell?
xx

Well, dang. I thought I was pretty swell at drawing.
But you’re amazing.
Honestly, you are an insparation.

I know most of the artists on here and im a little upset nothing of mine is up here or was asked to be put here!

I LOVE the Mila Jovovich Drawing. It was really really good!

Noses, and nostils in particular, seem to be a weakness for most artists. Without a second glance, the portraits look impeccable, however, the noses get my attention every time. The hair is incredible, and I am in awe at the technique. Excellent drawings, they’re all really talented.

Some of this look like pictures! AMAZING! You are really talented!

So amazing! You could have done better with Hayden Panettiere though, didn’t really catch her beauty

its hard to believe someone drew these… is this for real?

yes some of these photos are amazingly drawn. But I myself draw and study art and photography both and that photo of beil is not a pencil sketch it is a photo. the rest maybe but def. not jessica beil ..sorry

These drawing are beautiful and so realistic. I like the “Halle-Up Close” one just to name one of my favorites! This takes a lot of patience for details. You are extremely talented. I like to do a person(face) as well once in a while but I could not compare it to these. What kind of pencils do you use! They are all great!

yes, some of these look hand-drawn, but most of them look like you got them off the internet and made them black and white then posted them. sorry, but they just look to fake for me to compliment on them… sorry :/

breath taking ..

@Brandx: Dzimirsky is a artist which uses pencils and pastells, before judging on how it’s done make some research on google or go to his website http://www.dzimirsky.com where you’ll see some works in progress.
His drawings are so very realistic you could doubt about it if it’s made with PS, but he’s a true artist and he even don’t use PS on the pictures of his drawings.

Omg they are …terrible. As an art student I can’t just ignore all the messed up proportions, perspective and anatomy in these works. Sure some were fine but most of them are really, really off. That usually happens when artists just draw from photographies and not from real life. Most of these authors don’t have good enough knowledge to see the mistakes they are making and I would really advice them to study more from real life rather then photos.
