This could very well be hand-drawn. It's a shame that the pictures themselves look like crappy camera phone photos taken by a bunch of stoned teenagers. Who knows?

But why? Any camera can do photorealistic. It does look just like a photo. But why? Any camera can do photorealistic.

This is absolutely astonishing. Tracing would be the method that some of us less talented people would use, I suppose, not him. Or that pic of him drawing one in the main page is some Photoshop too?

They aren't traced, they're HAND DRAWN. All you have to do is look with your eyes, not with what you think are your clever deductions. What a bunch of no-talent jealous people!

That's why they do it in kindergarten. It was impressive at first, but I prefer to see talent for drawing over talent for tracing. It would be a lot simpler to trace stuff, yes.

A little TOO nice looking and TOO photorealistic. Kinda makes me wonder if he does them by projecting the photo onto the canvas and tracing them (simplified explanation, but I think you know what I mean). The third one especially looks like a photo with some sort of photoshop filter applied to it. Those are nice looking alright. A little TOO nice looking and TOO photorealistic.
