i posted a photorealistic drawing on here a while back and it didn't get hardly any attention. im guessing most people just swiped past thinking it was a photo.

Technically everything is made of charcoal

Charcoal is a carbon, but everything that is carbon is not charcoal.

HoldMyWater t1_je66fel wrote

All elements are made of carbon at the quantum level

But the scientists won't tell you that

SmashingAltoids t1_je67fky wrote

Charcoal, impure form of graphitic carbon, obtained as a residue when carbonaceous material is partially burned, or heated with limited access of air. Does that really sound like everything? ...and, scientists do tell.

HoldMyWater t1_je68j3d wrote

Carbon and therefore charcoal is a gift from above. And those gifts are not limited by the bounds of science. They contain everything within them.

That's a good looking couple of nuts. I'd be proud to show those off around town.

Oh my gosh, I had to zoom in to see the texturing of the medium, I thought this was a photo! Dude, this is bloody insane!

Ionic_Pancakes t1_je2htf4 wrote

Even zooming in I couldn't be sure if it was drawn or a poor quality photo.

The realism is insane. How did you get the white so white if the paper is textured like that??

Very impressive good sir. Take a bow!

I didn't read the subreddit. Thought it might be DIY with someone asking what the nuts in this photograph were called.

That's a drawing? Very accurate!

I thought this was from one of my metalworking subs. And frankly I’m more impressed with drawing this than making the real ones

Orangeapple-2 t1_je2puwx wrote

I can draw, do virtual art,animate,and do ceramics/wood. but I never learnt charcoal because i never had the time. so whenever i see a charcoal used drawing, I am just amazed. Good job keep practicing.
