Here is Your Reminder That Photoshop is Powerful, and People are Very Talented [Video]

by James Plafke | 11:05 am, November 9th, 2011

The above video is your reminder of the age in which we live, where we have a piece of software that can be used in such a way to digitally draw a girl and manipulate said drawing to the point where it looks like a real person. Photoshop and the people who use it are impressive. Take that, painting.

Probably easier to record yourself starting with a photo and reducing it to the simple elements of a line drawing, and just play that video backwards.

That was pretty dang amazing. The artist kinda robbed her of a chin towards the end of the video, but I guess everyone has a different idea of what looks good!

From a photoshop professional standpoint this is a fake , it is video manipulated to make it look like the drawing was beeing made when the ” artist ” was simply using masks and unmasking to make it look like he was painting …
What gives it away real badly in the final touch … the miserable background with the crapiest selection around the “painting”. Some people actually go to a lot of trouble and training sometimes for years to actually do relating looking paintings and they do exist , so please stop guiding this guy the views and actually give those people the attention they deserve.

this takes the fun out of painting…what’s the point if you can’t make a mess?

I’m with ex on this one. Its obvious he was working from a photograph from the beginning. The lighting that looks like it was taken with a flash camera from the start and the angle of her nose is a DEAD give-away.
