Photorealistic drawing of an engine

Photorealistic drawing

Artist: John Potter
Graphite on Paper - 28"X19"

This is a photorealistic drawing I did many years ago. I shot the reference photography myself and scaling was done via a grid. The drawing took about two weeks. It falls victim to that catch 22 of photorealistic drawing... Most people who see it assume it's a photo.
