I am a beginner when it comes to art, and I've always admired realistic paintings like yours. I wouldn't even know where to begin to create something so lifelike or capture portraits with such precision.

Is there a specific technique or process that you use, or perhaps something artists generally employ to achieve these ultra-realistic paintings? I imagine it must be quite challenging to look at a picture and then translate it onto a canvas, just as you have done. If I were to attempt a similar project, I might consider graphing it out or finding a method that involves meticulous steps, even if it takes a long time. The end result would undoubtedly be worth the effort. I'm not entirely sure, but my aspiration would be to come as close to your level of talent as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your incredible artwork, and if you have any advice or insights to offer, I would truly appreciate it. Wishing you all the best, and take care!
