this birlliant video had another soundtrack. Could anyone remember which song was that? The last words of lyrics was "I can't get my eyes off you" but I guess it's not the name of the song. Please tell me which song was that.. I will be thankful :))

Absolutely adorable. The child face (smile) melts my heart. Your technique of light and shade is incredible.

Beautiful. The sun is the only one that could shade better than you.

[HodgsonWESTHAM]

Perfection.

[aroogooy123]

He changed the music. It used to be something else.

He also changed the music in his Lord of The Rings painting.

[ChaoticLegionTVC]

I used to watch this video just for the song... I still watch it... but it's soo different T.T

[aroogooy123]

I know... why Nico? Why did you have to change the song? =[

[computerhoofd]

It was Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter

[Blackrosereaper]

can someone please tell me who sings this song :D

[AlwaysLiznin]

how long does it really take

[Anduril3109]

As a drawer myself (not painter yet but I'm workin on it hehe), I can tell you a piece of artwork like this can easily take up to four hours in a row, no matter if it's in colour or in gray scale.

[computerhoofd]

Huh? Music changed

[bebeccaiscool]

what's the name of this song and it's not damien rice The Blowers Daughter cause i looked it up and its not the right person

[Furiae3]

The music was changed. It was the The Blower's Daughter. I don't know what it is now, have you tried googling the lyrics?

[Blackrosereaper]

i googled the lyrics... i can't seem to find em :(

[Blackrosereaper]

Marisa - angels wings

[flicklefish]

Very good. I'm guessing youre working from a photograph reference. I liked what you made. However, there is too much black here above here left arm that seems unnatural. It is the illustrator's job to improve upon the photo. Still... there seems to be real affection in the rendering.  So... A- : )

[ColliCub]

Rendering children's faces, in any medium, can be tricky; there's a temptation to accentuate 'adult' features that just aren't there yet. I think you've done an extraordinary job on this work... the catchlights in those smiling eyes are perfect.

However, shadow and background are a little bit off; even if you copy it exactly from a photo, it won't look right in this medium... maybe some artistic license? All that aside, I love your work!

[azzadun]

nicodimattia can do anything

[Pandracat]

einfach genial!!

[fbmalik]

thats really superb..

[Baphosun]

really stunning....

[pixelpefekt]

[Jvdx]

awsome.

music sucks a bit though, guy cant sing imo :P

very nice though

[m0gul6]

The fact that it's an artist's interpretation of a photograph does indeed make it art. Also the fact the artist is using his artistic knowledge (light, shadow, form, proportion, etc.) to make the image, which has a different quality than a photograph (a much better one in my opinion - because it shows how this artist can put his skills to work), makes it a piece of art. There is NO debate, this is widely accepted as art. If you wanted to argue if it's a masterpiece, then you have a debate ;)

[theincangod]

dont listen to kuhlsnu. i'd like to see him/her try to do what you've done here. this is an amazing work of art. yes i did say art, dumbass. you have to be extremely good at drawing in order to make something like this picture, whether you do it using a computer or not. and as for using a photo in order to get better results? then y should u limit it to that? y not just say:"hey just look at the, well in this case, child, and just take in the beauty that way?

you dont, because u want to make art

[kuhlsnu]

I realize we are trying to get "art" but you can't use the term to justify your reasoning over mine.

I don't know how you can say at what point a photo becomes art, is it when a photo is replicated by hand using digital techniques?

What are really looking for here is photorealism using a digital program to alter hand drawn lines that are being traced using short term memory from a piece of paper he is looking at.

Why not use a real photo and get better results if you are going for realism?

[kasumisman]

idiot

[kuhlsnu]

Apparently the fundamental concept I talked about interrupted your thoughts and thats all you could mutter? How impressive.

[kasumisman]

well u are one no offense tho.

[kuhlsnu]

I've just gotta ask... with such a use of a digital medium and using a photograph why not start with the photograph... filter it out to a 5 tone greyscale or just lines and go from there?

It doesn't seem like it would be as unique but the goal is to have a piece of art with correct dimensions and almost photorealism right?

[sanderjames]

no.. the goal is having a peice of art.

photo filtering is just clicking a few effects.

little to no skill is really needed.

and if your sugjesting tracing...

thats not much better.

what he does is amazing,

changing it in any way would be a crime.

[SeanDeEhni]

thats not real... i cant belive it... respeckt.. so i think you dosent neet a camera anymore ;D

thats are the future artists

thanks

[czechowa]

wow. This is really, really good.

[spadeyxjadey]

wow. It looks like a photograph. Well done.

[00eerr11kkk]

Nice

[toycandi]

wow looks so real! :)

[SamChud]

that's unreal :O

amazing talent.

5 stars x

[LimitlessPK]

Your an inspiration, I'm now starting to take art more serious and going to self teach myself the photoshop.

Great work!

[paikuhanaz]

awsome u got tallent dude, werry nice

[maqhem]

Wow! Amazing! I posted in another video that I wondered how many layers you're using... Now I'm also wondering how big you images are. You zoom in on the eyes to paint the eyelashes and it's still sharp as h... Ehm... In any case it's incresibly clear and the pixels don't stand out. How big are you're images in Photoshop? And if you would answer my other question, too, I would be very grateful.

[shagua2007]

this is perfect but the ear is to up...look at the anathomy:P

[christianfishy]

That's so perfect it could be a photograph. Such talent.

[KUETO81]

a ver cuando me enseñan a ser esos dibujos yo solo se dibujar pelotas de fut ball y ponchadas por que me salen todas chuecas

[nakamizu]

respect - U've got amaizing skills

[DRLaChance]

Your attention to detail is incredible!

[catchumpai]

More than draws is the details! He has a incredible precision for the details. Maybe is the key for the sucess. His draws seems very realistic!

[trixster6d9]

i would love you to make portraits of my kids like that. great job! lot's of talent you got there.
