All most any artist can replicate a picture. I drew Keira Knightley my senior year of high school from a photo (and I did it in full color), but I believe the true mark of an artist is being able to create something original in their own style and have it be as detailed and realistic as something drawn from a photo. This is something I’m still working on.

Create art. Don’t just recreate portraits!

Also, Jolie looks cross-eyed.

not saying she doesnt have talent for it but at 18 she has had the opportunity to go through many classes…. Just sayin’

It would be nice to see her create some art rather than Pop Star portraits.

Like, good for her. But on her website it says “According to experts, there is nobody at such a young age with such a talent for drawing realistic portraits like she does”. Now that kind of pisses me off a little. Because there are plenty of talented kids out there who are younger than she is. I’m not saying I’m that good, because I don’t draw portraits but I can do something that accurate and with a little more practice I could be just as good as her and I’m younger. She is not the only one. Also, if you take a look at her site, the drawings she did on her own WITHOUT looking at a photo.. are not. that. good. Drawing from a photo is no real talent and has no originality.. I guess that’s what makes me so mad that she gets so much attention.

I think she has alot of talent. What she chooses to draw should mean nothing to no one else. I wish her all the best!

If you compare her realistic pictures to her “colored pencil” drawings you can even tell that filters were applied to photos and everything. Where are her videos of drawing those? Why are there only pictures of her holding the completed drawings but nothing else like WIPs, and even then the completed drawings only from a far away view? If you compare her pictures in graphite to the “fantasy” ones there are just too many stylistic discrepancies. It’s all very very sketchy. Even on her website, if you look up her gallery there are pictures she hasn’t posted on her dA because they match up perfectly with pictures searched on Tineye.com. EXACTLY. this is just so disgusting. She’s soiling the good name of art. :/

I have to agree with some of the other artists on here. It is very easy to draw hyper-realism from photographs. But this girl seems to be trying to do work without straight out copying photographs–and some of it is absolutely beautiful.
