Any "hyperrealism" artist. Someone who draws two stick figures buttfucking each other has more creativity. And their technical skills could be debated since a lot of them trace the outlines of their drawings.

I respect the time and effort it takes to create hyper realism art, and if they only draw for fun then there’s no harm, but I can’t see it as a meaningful form of art. I just don’t see the point of spending hours creating something that looks like a photograph when the photograph itself would take a second

just remove the "technically competent" part

This. I knew someone who only ever drew kpop dudes. She could draw specific idol's face from imagination fairly decently but that's only because she drew them from photos so much. It was always faces, always kpop dudes.

I'm tempted to say Sakimichan.

I've been in an art class or two, yes. There's always someone who was a big fish in high school but has zero aesthetic sensibility. They had some technical skill but nothing they made looked good or interesting and they had nothing to say with it. It's really obvious who considers the metaphysical and who doesn't when there's a wall of the same still life.

Based.

Because hyperrealism isn't about reproducing something you could take as a photograph, but rather creating within your fantasies that unique feeling of reality. Those that make mundane subjects fail at this kind of art.
Look at Dali or some of those painters at beinart, or sculptors like ron mueck.

>>3919702
Also, that's most of them anyway, look at what's asked from concept or comic artists, not to mention designers. There's little point to studying symbolism since high art isn't very demanded, and even then

>what is /ic/

>>3920258
I agree with you, I was mostly referring to people who draw realistic faces of Morgan Freeman and include every one of his moles and wrinkles

>>3919702
Sycra literally claims to have aphantasia, as in he can't imagine anything at all. Of course, he also claims to have multiple personalities.

>>3920258
That's surrealism.
Hyperrealism is pretty much a challenge to copy a photo.

>>3920258
is it me or are the 4k hd knees kinda distracting

>>3920544
nope. Dali quit the surrealists early enough. Those mid-life pieces he did he called them metaphysic hyperrealism, and the american art movement owes to the popularity that Dali had living in New York while switching to this style.
>>3920446
So, this style is actually called photorealism

I actually learned that today. Who would want to be part of such a dull name ?
Also, there used to be so much stuff, and better stuff on beinart, I'm sad they stopped to be an online catalog. They don't even sell the books they printed on their site

>>3920549
I believe he made them look a bit like bread crust on purpose, fun lad

>>3920519
Wait really? That's interesting.

>>3920519
This has bothered for a while. I really like the guy's videos, they're extremely helpful in helping to learn a variety of subjects, but his personal life seems completely fucked up and it's a damn headache every time he starts talking about his multiple personalities and shit in his videos (which thankfully is almost never the case in the instructional ones).

>>3919702
How do you know if you're "imaginative"?

>A survey of staff at Pixar unexpectedly found several gifted animators had aphantasia, including Glen Keane, as well as researcher and executive Edwin Catmull (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47830256))))
Apparently it's more common than you'd think.

Way too many tattoo artists lack creativity, and tend to have a very poor, unoriginal portfolio

>>3920747
Imaginative is anything /ic/ likes and unimaginative is anything /ic/ doesn’t like.

>>3919702
95% of them.

>>3919702
Yes, me.

>>3919743
It can be, if the hyper realism is used to create a scene that would be impossible to photograph, like a lot of surrealism.

Otherwise, it's just exploration of technique. You can learn a lot from it, like learning to distinguish subtle values, and such, and the actual act of rending at that level. It's a semi-interesting diversion, at best.
