"Piper" by AV Salois

Oh my god.. This is not true! I´t is impossible to draw a picture like this! You´re cheating! It looks exactly like a real, living person! I´m totally amazed. Stunning!

I hate to bag on you, cuz I love your work, but you did not make that character up! that is a girl from a magazine and she is pozed like that and has on the same dress and her hair is done like that! so please next time you say that you made up a character tell the truth.

Hey, Anonymous, it's called referencing. I was going to tell you to review the artist's bio page, because she used to have this note that said all the more realistic pieces *are* realistic because they've been referenced from magazines/pictures/movies, but it looks like she didn't put it back up last time she changed her bio. And I'd like to point out that just because the drawing is referenced doesn't mean the character it personifies isn't original. Are all those RPG character people use to play online not their own, because they don't use "original" pictures? What about writers who use the images of celebrities in their heads when they're writing?

And I've seen the original picture this drawing is based off of and the expression differs quite a bit, this one suiting the character described, as well as the clothing is different and the lighting.

hi there ...you did a great job on this....the shading does not make her look dirty at all...if you were take a photo and desaturate it the greys would be similar to what youve accomplished....I am impressed

your shading is great and so is her expression! Like she is determined or full of hope or something.

Amazing, she looks like she could be real, like this is really just a photo of a real person.

That's great...I love the face...she looks so beautiful and innocent, yet w/ a sense of mystery that makes u wanna know her.....shading is awesome....BEAUTIFUL!!

I love your work all of it looks like they are really photos and i can't believe you can draw like that but you can and i love your drawings a lot

this is really beautiful indeed, If you made the original lines less visible it would be perfect

her expression is fabulous, her eyes look pretty real
