As a display of artistic skill I'll agree that it's pretty awesome, in practical terms it's kind of pointless since cameras can do this in a second.

All that amazing talent and he can't come up with a decent product name to save his life... Cipster?

Cipster is an Italian brand.

These F*N movies. Show me what it looks like at the end, THEN go through the motions. It's called editing.

Actually, you'd be surprised at how many advertisements use Art instead of Photos, and you just didn't notice. This is very common in the advertising industry. And not just for product, but on movie posters and advertising as well.

As a photo realist painter myself, my stuff is often mistaken for photographs.

This is the logical conclusion to years of blind contour focus and application of product illustration concepts. Great stuff!

I know a couple artists that do exactly this, but I've never observed the method using markers from start to finish.

I was really hoping he'd pick up the bag at the end!

you can check out the actual artist's channel for a lot more videos, all of them quite impressive

Really impressive. I think what's key is the use of shadow and light.

Yes, Shamu has an overbite! </zackmorris>

Aww, I thought he was just inventing a hipster brand of chips.

He's quite good...but IMO the photorealistic moniker is thrown a bit generously here.
Do a google image search for, e.g.(restrict to large images):
Ralph Goings, Paul Cadden, Gottfried Helnwein, Robert Bechtle, David Parrish...(from the top of my mind)
If you find the work above impressive, these are going to blow your mind.
To be precise: At the moment when you realize those aren't photos you're looking at, but drawings. Yes, those are ALL drawings.

And if that's not enough mindblowing - try to see them for real. I recently went to the Helnwein retrospective here in Vienna, and it was amazing. The pictures are quite often huge (several meters!), which adds tremenduously to the effect. I'm not sure even large format cameras can capture so much detail.

Just another sad reminder of how untalented I am. Although I can draw a pretty mean stick figure.

Anybody?

Anybody?

Saved by the Bell anyone?

Thank you @StukaFox. Looks like it's the two of us against the world.
