Hyperrealism And Different Drawing Workflows

Hyperrealistic drawings fascinate me, mainly because I can’t achieve that level of realism even if I try. Although I’m tempted to ask, ‘Why not just take a photo?’ I have learnt to appreciate the value and the different aesthetic of hyperrealistic drawings, because there is something fascinating about the idea that someone has laboured over a work. I’m reminded of artfully scattered rubbish in modern art galleries: the very fact that someone has put it there makes it interesting (or not).

One master of hyperrealistic drawing is Diego Fazo.

I find not only the hyperrealism interesting, but these photos show something of his workflow: Almost all artists I have seen in action (whether in real life or in process tutorials) work first to cover the canvas, building up detail evenly across the space. But Fazo below shows that he instead works to perfect each detail before moving across the page.

This suggest to me that the brain of this hyperrealistic artist is working differently. I simply cannot imagine working across the page like this. And this makes me wonder if the work of hyperrealistic artists is generally like this, or if there is no correlation between level of realism and workflow.
