I quite like the song playing in the background.

I just did. And i'm still not impressed.

lol...............
im not that impressed at the ketchup one as well because its just duplication, but the one with paint made my jaw drop because i never knew you can use ms paint like that.

The MS Paint one is duplication too, it is the Mona Lisa afterall and it is one of the most duplicated images in art at the moment.

I've seen the ketchup drawing before, and I'm glad he goes places that other people don't think about/are afraid to go (like the Chocolate Numa picture). I'm a fan of art that tries to be different instead of the run-of-the-mill "lines on paper" stuff (which I'm still a huge fan of, of course, but unusual mediums tend catch my attention much better, especially when they're done well). My favourite is probably his crayon drawing, though (even if it's not unusual). How he could even bare drawing with those, I can't understand.

Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with duplication (or that style or art, since it's not really "duplication"). It doesn't make him any less talented just because he doesn't draw from his head (or so the videos he's posted so suggest, though I doubt he only does it from pictures). Heck people have been using "models" for centuries.

Crayon drawing is done quite often and is actually rather common as a medium.

And I never said there was anything 'wrong' with it, now did I? But for me it's not the way to go. I've seen a lot of duplication before, and I know it's still a very common technique. Jeff Wall whose quite a well known Canadian artist bases his photographs off of historical paintings, though they're modernistic duplication that aren't 'spot on' replication. People often use duplication of masters drawings/paintings to learn techniques. I myself got to do so in first year drawing, spending tedious hours getting line for line drawings done of masters drawings to learn line weight and line technique. I believe copying of images does have a place in art. But I am still not impressed by these videos. For me it's a personal issues stemming more with my own views on art and the art world at the moment. And thats an argument/conversation best left off this board.

(please also note that there's a huge difference between models and copying a flat image onto another flat image. Flat image copying is often quite a bit easier especially since most people (as exemplified by both examples) are not looking at identically reproducing the image but instead representing it. Model drawing is a whole other ball game)

I'm just surprised he had the patience to do that whole thing in one go - especially with Paint
I'd really like to see the actual image of his drawing, though. Wonder if anyone can find it.

That is...AMAZING! Seriously!
