Here is my gallery on the deviant art website,

If you zoom in on some of the drawings you will see my mistakes, e.g lines that do not run totally true and in the case of some of the hair shots where the shading has not quite gone right - don't think a computer can generate that !

Don't know why feels so compelled to justify myself (perhaps it is to do with how offended I feel) but here goes.

The photograph attached is a drawing I did of Sir Antony Sher and Natalie Simpson in rehearsal for the RSC production of King Lear. You will note that the both subsequently autographed it, good luck getting a computer to do that (yes I do use a production still as the basis of my drawing).






I have said my piece.

Don't understand why you are circling bits of shading ?

I draw, with different pencils, I then use a piece of tissue to smudge and blend the background and there is some variation in shading, however, it would seem that you are not convinced so doubt anything that I say will change that.

I posted because drawing and watches are two of my interests but have learned my lesson and will not post on here again, I imagine that will make you happy

[MonBK]

Nobody here is doubting you Kayin and I personally think you're a very talented artist.

[MonBK]

What is the website that appears in the pics?

Never mind, I got it.

[Maverick686]

Beautiful work. I have the Omega Speedy Pro, and your drawing embodies the appeal of that iconic watch.

Have any of the GMT/BLNR?

[brandrea]

I'm confused

It's early and I haven't had my coffee

Who's ever they are, there's talent there

You and me both Brian.

Nice.

Just post one in the middle of the drawing. Hard to do that in a computer generated rendering. Still I think they are very cool renderings.

Did you read the whole thread? Zero talent required for these "sketches": https://photofunia.com/categories/all_effects/sketch

Oops, Expat ... my omission... take me to the horse trough! But many thanks on keeping me in the fold.

My addition to this thread!

First day when OP posted the images, I knew it was computer generated as I saw them very often with tons of various apps out there. Just didn't bother to reply or point out. Coz if I blame the OP, mods will ask proof and call my posts allegation and all that so instead just ignored and moved on. Good to see it coming out.

i felt the same. it was only when i chanced across the actual website that produces the identical fades at the edge of each drawing that i posted.

i was rather hoping he would have got my first hint when i "sketched" a daytona and we could have left it at that.

i have friends and acquaintances who produce beautiful pencil sketches by hand and the skill required is phenomenal.

Sad to know a few unearned oohs and ahs would mean so much to someone.

[texex91]

I worked all weekend on this one and just finished it

[Old Geezer]

Was initially impressed until OP was revealed to be faking the sketches. I have never spent much time with apps or programs for altering pictures but have enjoyed playing with this one. Here is my contribution after working on it all afternoon.
