Attempting Photo realism Without Reference....

Okay... Time for something different. I have said before that doing these photoreal portraits are primarily for practice... Mainly to help train my mind to memorize details for when I need to make stuff up on the spur of the moment.

Well, here I put my experience to the test and attempt a photo-real pic of a completely fictitious person that I made up. She does not exist.

I wanted to create a flash camera spontaneous type of pic.. Like when someone just snaps a pic of someone at a party and gets them by surprise (hence the goofy look on her face.)

So here it is...

Photoshop CS
Wacom INtuos 3
Mac os x

imagine yourself as a withness of a crime and the police ask you to describe the bad guy and you go like, gimme a couple of minutes, and then you give them like this fotorealistic picture saying: he's the one :-D I'd so laugh

@StoryNClark I work as a commercial artist between the advertising and entertainment industries. Whenever the the term "photorealism" is used professionally in the work I do, (by clients, artists, art directors etc.) it simply means that the artwork has photo-real qualities to it. (i.e.- it can almost be mistaken for a photo. ) A real photo reference does not have to be involved in the process.
