A quick scroll through social media sites such as Instagram reveals an inundation of hyper-realistic drawings intended to look as realistic as a black and white photograph. To achieve these hyper-realistic drawings, it is usual for photographs to be painstakingly copied in every minute detail. Of course I must give credit to the patience, attention to detail and the skills required in producing such a thorough realistic piece as they do require a great deal of skill to produce. However, I feel some trepidation when viewing these pieces when it appears to be the artists’ main form of drawing. This is because when I view these drawings, I cannot help but wonder where is the representation of the artist? What were their feelings, thoughts, and beliefs? How does this drawing represent their personal artistic style? And what feeling or thoughts is it supposed to elicit in me, the viewer?
