In this project featuring a detailed drawing of a dagger rendered from a photograph, artists use contrasting values to identify its forms, textures and patterns according to the lights and darks created by the dominant light source.

Preview lesson V03 - Photorealistic Dagger

My jaw dropped when I first seen this dagger, I've done some photorealistic sketches before.
In truth I really had to look 4 times to see if it had been draw or photographed.
Going throught the steps on the lesson shows that it is real.

Truly fantastic work.

Yeah...i agree

i just did it and it only took 32 minutes
thats good timing for a 13 year old

Its really a wonderful website ....

This is a really wonderful drawing! Whoever did it has a photographer's eye

Do you have a picture of it? I'd like to see it if possible.

Very good lesson, I was pleased with my drawing but still need to keep at it

cool

I found this lesson to be a lot of fun. Although my dager did not turn out exactly like yours, I was amazed and very excited watching it come to life on my paper. Thank you for providing this web site and the valuable experience you have.
