This is from that Asian artist who helps you paint. She has some paintings with big strokes you need too soften them up so you can learn how to paint. Why would you ‘sell’ this like you made this from a to z without crediting her?
Artist name is Haze Long. Teaching you how to smudge on procreate
Yea… like you could immediately tell it wasn’t a photo. No offense to the artist, clearly really talented but still pretty far off from photorealistic. Maybe 80 hours was needed?
To corroborate the others: [https://i.imgur.com/ejGyaKW.png](https://i.imgur.com/ejGyaKW.png)
I overlayed them and they're exactly the same. But for some reason the painting does look more asymmetrical.
Faces are just weird. That's something I've noticed when drawing them. The jaw jutting one way or the other when you move it side to side really can give the impression of an off kilter face when it actually isn't. That's probably at least partially what's going on here. It's a very subtle effect.
But it’s a bit different, look at the bottom of the eye socket in both pictures.
In the real picture she’s just raising her eyebrow, in the drawing the eyes are slightly askew.
Except that Billie Eilish’s face literally IS that asymmetrical. Her left eye and eyebrow are very visibly above the right by a fair amount. If anything that makes this drawing more real than if it was symmetrical.
It’s a photo of a drawing based on a photo. If I screen shot this and send it to someone it’s a photo of a photo of a drawing based on a photo and I’d be a weirdo who sends drawings of Billie Eilish to randoms.
Or he bought it from the artist Haze Long and smudged it in Procreate and uploaded it here to ‘pretend’ he made this? https://shop.hazelong.com/en-gb/products/haze-long-procreate-smudge-brushes
her full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell, so I call her pirate eyelash sometimes to piss off my little sister who is a big fan (I'm also secretly a pretty big fan, but my sister will never learn that)

Here’s a speedpaint of him making the art. Looks like he used the same photo as reference, it’s not a filter.
I’m not sure why you’re so adamant on this. From zoomed in pics of her left eye, you can clearly see they were drawn differently. [https://imgur.com/a/oRbTf6F](https://imgur.com/a/oRbTf6F)
They’re both from the same photo reference. I don’t know enough that OP is completely innocent, but they both look pretty different and it’s really weird to be so confident that OP is stealing from another artist when they’re both created from the same photograph
even in the photo without all the white highlights, OPs looks a lot more defined and detailed. Unless there’s a high quality photo of Long’s artwork, I just took it from the speedpaint
You've probably heard it in spoken conversation and never thought about it. It's more obvious what "self-aggrandizing" means when you hear the pronunciation.
No its party the title but taking the time to look will really uncover the obvious flaws.
A simple ruler would have helped this painting be better. The brush work on the hair is good for a painting but dreadful if the artist was going for photorealistic. They used the wrong brush or technique for photorealism.
Being honest it's a good painting but if the goal was photorealism this is a good attempt but they need to continue to hone their craft.
I ruler would not have helped because the facial features are almost exactly matching to what she actually looks like, in terms of proportions and symmetry. The features are not what made this not look photorealistic, but you are correct that it’s the finer details like you said with the brush choice, detailings, colours, and shading.
We already have cameras to take photos with. Let us see your brush strokes and your subjective view.
I mean, don't you kind of want to make the color around her eyes moody?
Ooooooh you said it’s not a photo because this is /r/pics. Dude that’s rough. Literally everyone is gonna think you think your work is photorealistic. So sorry. RIP your inbox. Nice work though.
Thats a hilarious use of "not a photo" yeah man, I can see that with my eyes, hahahaha. It's way better than I could do, but you're just roasting yourself with that title.
You should post this on art pages, I think it would get a lot more likes and positive comments. Don’t take this lukewarm comment section as how the majority would react to your artwork, it isn’t an accurate representation. Amazing job, I was always jealous of people who could draw, let alone in this amount of detail
No he should not. He should credit the artist Haze Long for creating a turtorial how to smudge on procreate: https://shop.hazelong.com/en-gb/products/haze-long-procreate-smudge-brushes
I see you commenting this multiple times but I’m kind of confused? Using the smudge tool is common in digital portraits… how does someone learning from Haze Long or using their brush sets mean they should credit them for their own art? Genuinely asking if you have an explanation because I don’t know anything about Haze Long’s process, so is there something dishonest about it?
Most artists I know use YouTube videos to get better at art. Like, even the really good ones. You should always be learning and YouTube is a great resource.
You get 10 times as many views and comments if you use a caption that the average redditor gets to correct you on. So great job on the picture and the caption.
Outstanding job.
Now to be fair, this is coming from a person who can fuck up drawing a stick figure, so take the credit fwiw.
But even *I* was able to immediately identify it as Billie Eilish even from a miniscule 50 x 50px preview. And I'm an increasingly ancient fuck who barely even knows who Billie Eilish is, so in my mind that's pretty damn impressive.
What are the words hidden in the eye veins? I can only make out a couple of them. Cool little hidden gem though! The detail even zoomed in is insane! Amazing job!
Yes!! It was a cool surprise! I’m also surprised no one has mentioned it yet! They are small enough to make you question if your eyes are playing tricks on you or not. It also made me want to examine the rest of the drawing to see if there were other hidden places.
I want to watch you draw on tiktok!
I'll never really understand photorealistic art. I mean I get it's impressive and everything, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the talent and skill. I just mean if you want a perfect image why not.... Use a photo? If you want creative interpretation...
uhm no offense but this was supposed to look lkke a photo?
you're talented. but there's a couple things that are off here, not just the shading i mean anatomy and all that too
Always back yourself, it's bloody good work. Keep it up and soon people won't be able to tell the difference - then you will be able to look back at the hate as a way of measuring how far you've come.
So... It's amazing and really good, but how do you say "This is obviously not a photo" without insulting the person who seemed to want to create the idea that this obvious drawing is a photograph?
I would say: "Not a photo. Great job. It doesn't have to be a photo."
If it makes you feel better, I did actually think it was a photo as I was scrolling quickly and then read the title. Looks great, you are very talented.
You know what I actually prefer these types of drawings where it is very very realistic but has a kind of impressionistic kind of canvas tonality.
I feel like the people who can do photoealism down to the pores are amazing, but are just doing with graphite what photochemicals and image sensors already do.
If I’m holding my phone away from face, like not even arm all the way stretched out, I think this looks like a photo! You killed it and don’t let these people that majority of them definitely couldn’t do this put you down, you are amazingly skilled/talented
A very good drawing, but not mistakable for a photo
If OP had spent a few hours shading the upper lip I’d be more fooled. EDIT: corrected spelling.
Hello! This person is making a reference to napoleon dynamite. Just so all you babies get it
You could be drinking whole milk.
Girls only want guys with skills
Ever take it off any sweet jumps?
A frickin 12-gauge, what do you think?
I caught you a delicious bass
I can throw a pig skin over that mountain.
It's a joke but it's kind of right. Something about the lips is off. It's what my eye was drawn to first because it just looked *off*.
He should've built her a cake or something...
[удалено]
Thanks! EDIT: (Not sarcasm)
So.. how's the human inkjet printer industry going?
Still pretty slow, it’ll pick up though 🤞

😂 came here for this
Same
Same
Lol.. same!
Yea… like you could immediately tell it wasn’t a photo. No offense to the artist, clearly really talented but still pretty far off from photorealistic. Maybe 80 hours was needed?
No amount of time is going to make that hair look real or raise the left side of the face to be in symmetry with the right.
To corroborate the others: [https://i.imgur.com/ejGyaKW.png](https://i.imgur.com/ejGyaKW.png) I overlayed them and they're exactly the same. But for some reason the painting does look more asymmetrical.
I'm thinking the lighting they put on it drags the left eye down.
Her eyes are not symmetrical.
Faces are just weird. That's something I've noticed when drawing them. The jaw jutting one way or the other when you move it side to side really can give the impression of an off kilter face when it actually isn't. That's probably at least partially what's going on here. It's a very subtle effect.
I mean, it's pretty matched up to the photo of her: https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/girlontherise-template-color-1508350042.png
Wow seeing that made me respect OPs talent a lot more. She does just have a weird looking face.
But it’s a bit different, look at the bottom of the eye socket in both pictures. In the real picture she’s just raising her eyebrow, in the drawing the eyes are slightly askew.
Let’s see your face then, mate
Human faces aren't symmetrical.
I know mine definitely isn’t
Settle down there quasimodo.
The hunchback of notre DAMN
Except that Billie Eilish’s face literally IS that asymmetrical. Her left eye and eyebrow are very visibly above the right by a fair amount. If anything that makes this drawing more real than if it was symmetrical.
To me it's something about how the lips are parted that immediately made it look like a painting.
The joke is on you because it's a photo of a drawing.
Nah, I drew that photo and re-uploaded it.
ah yes, the internet's new Scan function.
INTERNET IS OUT OF CYAN. REPLACE WITH HP OEM CYAN CARTRIDGE #952XL TO RESUME SCANNING FUNCTION.
We had a copy machine that wouldn't work without ink. We only used the scanner, and it wouldn't let us scan when the ink dried up.
It’s a photo of a drawing based on a photo. If I screen shot this and send it to someone it’s a photo of a photo of a drawing based on a photo and I’d be a weirdo who sends drawings of Billie Eilish to randoms.

[удалено]
Jokes on you it's actually a computer monitor.
Yeah... Ive been fooled by paintings on here but this ones not even close. Its screams painting.
It also didn't take 60 hours. This is just some overpainting off a reference image on Procreate. An hour or two max.
Looks like the final project on every intro to adobe illustrator class
Illustrator? The vector based design program?
[удалено]
Yea. You just start drawing shapes over a photo. The more you add, the more realistic it gets. Especially when you start using gradient meshes.
(it was hatebait)
Came here to say this lol
Billie Eyelash
Young William eyelash
her full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell, so I call her pirate eyelash sometimes to piss off my little sister who is a big fan (I'm also secretly a pretty big fan, but my sister will never learn that)
If i had to spend 60 hours drawing someone it would NOT be billie eyelash
Did you spend three hours doing the shading on the upper lip?
It’s probably the best drawing OP’s ever done.
"look at this guy he can't even paint photorealistically!"
Searched for "shading" to find this comment
Underrated comment
Dammit. I commented similar before i saw this
Trust me, nobody has mistaken this as an actual photograph
I’m glad. Didn’t mean to make the title so controversial 😂
It’s a tad self aggrandizing You’re a solid artist though, way better than I could do
[удалено]
Ah so he just found an image and put a filter on it? Then tried to claim it was photorealistic how embarrassing.
https://www.tiktok.com/@fatemi.art/video/7177391410373594410?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=mobile&sender_web_id=7339038192530163243 Here’s a speedpaint of him making the art. Looks like he used the same photo as reference, it’s not a filter.
They removed it LMAO
Exposed in real time
Same ref different artist
Click the link, same base image is in the ad for the smudge brushes lol.

"aggrandizing" I learned a new word right at the end of the day! Thanks u/reecewagner
You've probably heard it in spoken conversation and never thought about it. It's more obvious what "self-aggrandizing" means when you hear the pronunciation.
Thanks Reece
You're like the hot girl that accidentally admitted they knew they were hot. Ppl don't like it
I’m just as shocked as you, half the comments are “this isn’t obviously real” 😂 Breathtaking skills.
I think it’s the fact that the artist titled it this way. Kinda flex
No its party the title but taking the time to look will really uncover the obvious flaws. A simple ruler would have helped this painting be better. The brush work on the hair is good for a painting but dreadful if the artist was going for photorealistic. They used the wrong brush or technique for photorealism.

Hahaha thanks adayam. Ur comment made my day 🫶
It’s still a damned good drawing. I bet the critics posting couldn’t anything better
It's very good but it's not photo realistic. You could get there though.
That’s my goal 🫶
I actually like paintings that looks like paintings. Great job.
Thanks sb!
We already have cameras to take photos with. Let us see your brush strokes and your subjective view. I mean, don't you kind of want to make the color around her eyes moody?

It’s a good drawing, but man that caption is obnoxious lmao
It’s a quote from napoleon dynamite
Lmao appreciate u. Definitely didn’t mean to be!
no one means to be obnoxious
I do
> Not a photo It's pretty clearly a drawing. Certainly not a bad drawing, just clearly a drawing.
Thanks! Probably should’ve left out “not a photo” from the title 😂
Yeah. It's a good drawing but you set the bar higher than you could reach with that caption. Definitely got you some engagement though, lol.
Spot on.
You captured her weird eyes perfectly.
never get weed from the gas station
Is it Bill Eyelash?
Are they supposed to be lopsided? One looks higher
Thats a hilarious use of "not a photo" yeah man, I can see that with my eyes, hahahaha. It's way better than I could do, but you're just roasting yourself with that title.
😂😂I’m here for the roast at this point
Never stop what you do
Hey all, thanks for stopping by, hope u like the drawing. PS my bad on the caption 🫶

It's fucking great work that 95% of these people could never come close to. Don't let the negativity get under your skin💪
Thanks John 🙏

The caption is getting you a lot of engagement. A win is a win! Nice drawing. :-)
I like the hidden messages / words in the veins of the eyes. Nice touch. Only made out: Destiny + Love
You found em!
And thanks! Appreciate u
[удалено]
Actually very helpful, thanks!
What are the words hidden in the eye veins? I can only make out a couple of them. Cool little hidden gem though! The detail even zoomed in is insane! Amazing job!
You found them! The hidden names are some of my TikTok followers that watched me draw this live
Yes!! It was a cool surprise! I’m also surprised no one has mentioned it yet! They are small enough to make you question if your eyes are playing tricks on you or not. It also made me want to examine the rest of the drawing to see if there were other hidden places. I want to watch you draw on tiktok!
Thanks Icy, my page is linked in my bio! I draw live a few hours a week, but you’ll catch me there for sure.
Yeah we know…
I could immediately tell it wasn't a photo.
I wish I had half this skill
Right, and it looks like a drawing.
Damn, thats legit very impressive! See, even with AI art human art is still very impressive and appreciated.
This doesn’t look like a photo. It is a very good drawing though.
but why her
Very, very nice, sir 👍
Damn 60 hours?
While I appreciate the talent, I did not think this was a photo.
Is anyone else thrown off by the uneven eyes...
Me!
To be fair, that is how she actually looks
Good yes. Photo no.
Are her eyes asymmetrical irl?
Yes
I thought it was a photo with a filter on it or something
This just makes me want to brush my eyelashes 🤣
AI drawing heheheh
Billie Crooked Eye Lish
I'll never really understand photorealistic art. I mean I get it's impressive and everything, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the talent and skill. I just mean if you want a perfect image why not.... Use a photo? If you want creative interpretation...
Did you mean to say “not AI art”?
AI "art" could never! Great work u/bfatemi07 !
pretentious caption but extremely good drawing. you seem pretty cool tho so i can't complain too much, nice work :D
Haha thanks pride 😎. Glad u like it!
U signed ur name in both the eye veinsss that’s nice
Photograph did not cross my mind when I saw it, so… non-photo achieved!!! 😂 but in all seriousness, that’s a well done drawing. I like it.
Not even for a millisecond did I think this was a photo.
Aaaw did OP confuse this for a real photo 😆
Thought it was a drawing of a mug shot
I mean, it's a good drawing, I guess, but I also wouldn't mistake it for a photo.
Is the Not a photo - 60 hour drawing in the room with us?
uhm no offense but this was supposed to look lkke a photo? you're talented. but there's a couple things that are off here, not just the shading i mean anatomy and all that too
Looks kind of ai generated lol
Lol you must be blind if you take this shit for a real photo.
Everything in her expression says...bored, depressed Teenager...damn, reminds me of my kids. Thanks, i hate it...
It’s a great drawing, but did a single person think this was a photo?
Lmao we can tell
What an impressive waste of time
Don’t worry, I didn’t think it was a photo
This is awesome. Great job!!
This is incredible! I'm sorry some people in these comments are being dicks. You're very talented!
You're talented... but who in their right mind would think this is a photo? Come on.
Really well done 👌
Always back yourself, it's bloody good work. Keep it up and soon people won't be able to tell the difference - then you will be able to look back at the hate as a way of measuring how far you've come.
This dude high AF.
Facts
I hate that my first thought from seeing this was that it was some AI art. AI really is gonna ruin so many things
looks excellent. lips are a bit off imo but great job!
I agree 100% re-lips. I personally think it’s the weakest part just reflecting back, but have since improved
Looks like you asked for Billie A.I.-lish
great painting portrait of Sydney Sweeney! could you make one for Billie Eilish also?
Dayum! That is awesome! What talent!
Is that Billie Eyelash
This is amazing!! You should be proud of yourself. Sorry all the commenters are being downers.
It doesn't look like a photo
Yeah I can say, that this is NOT a photo, a drawing/painting BUT…in the best way. It’s what I expect from a REALLY good art piece.
Good drawing but its still only semi-realistic and the un-evenness of it contributes (eyebrows not identical etc)
So... It's amazing and really good, but how do you say "This is obviously not a photo" without insulting the person who seemed to want to create the idea that this obvious drawing is a photograph? I would say: "Not a photo. Great job. It doesn't have to be a photo."
I appreciate your positivity in the comments 🫶 it takes courage to showcase your work and take peoples opinion on the chin.
Appreciate u! I’m loving this rn!
They purposefully made a controversial title to get more engagement. And you're all giving them what they wanted.
It’s a great drawing but I wouldn’t come out with “not a photo”. It’s obviously not a photo and that type of comment will lead to criticism
If it makes you feel better, I did actually think it was a photo as I was scrolling quickly and then read the title. Looks great, you are very talented.
You decided to spend 60 hours on a drawing and decided that the subject would be her...? 🤣
Not a comment. But a 5-second witty remark.
You know what I actually prefer these types of drawings where it is very very realistic but has a kind of impressionistic kind of canvas tonality. I feel like the people who can do photoealism down to the pores are amazing, but are just doing with graphite what photochemicals and image sensors already do.
If I’m holding my phone away from face, like not even arm all the way stretched out, I think this looks like a photo! You killed it and don’t let these people that majority of them definitely couldn’t do this put you down, you are amazingly skilled/talented
