Philipp Weber is a hyperrealistic portrait artist based in Germany. He creates breathtaking portraits that are almost indistinguishable from photographs. Weber uses a variety of traditional and digital techniques to create his work, including graphite, oil paint, and Adobe Photoshop.
To create his portraits, Weber begins by taking photographs of his subjects from a variety of angles. He then carefully studies the photos and selects the ones that will make the best reference for his portrait. Weber then transfers the image onto paper or canvas using a grid system and begins drawing or painting.
Weber’s attention to detail is what makes his portraits so impressive. He spends countless hours perfecting the shading, highlights, and skin tones of his subjects, often using tiny brushes or even a magnifying glass to achieve the desired effect. He works with graphite or oil paint to create a base layer, and then uses Photoshop to add finishing touches and refine the image.
Some of Weber’s most notable portraits include depictions of celebrities such as Emma Watson, Tom Hardy, and Benedict Cumberbatch. He has also worked on commissions for private clients, capturing the essence of their loved ones with remarkable accuracy.
