Xara vs. photo

Trying to reproduce the reality, I mixed the real photo with the drawing. Small differences apart, they look quite similar. The perfume on the right needed lots of shapes (see detail). Comments are welcome. Lupen

Crazy perfect!;)

I cannot tell the difference!

You've got a good eye for shading, blending and highlighting.

It reminds me of those commercials back in the '70s when you had to decide, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" Updated to the 21st century the decision is now, "Is it a photo, or is it a Lupen?"

Very well done, Lupen!

Wow great work, they all look like photos to me. :)

Thanks Cmone, Gwpriester, HayTray, a4hire, for your comments. And thanks to Xara, that allows me to do that...Lupen

Your ability to create realism is outstanding.

Excellent, lupen, WOW!

many thanks to burpee and wizard509. Lupen

Just plain super, lupen.

Amazing likeness Lupen.
Did you work from the actual objects or a photo?

Thanks Gray for your comment. To Salaam: I used the photo you see on the background, (the two objects drawed are in front). Using a photo, when possible, is much easier than copying real objects. thanks for your comment. Lupen

I'm surprised as your wire is more detailed than the photo, which is strange as it is usually the other way round. For example the text on the perfume bottle especially the MBO at the back does not actually exist in the photograph.

Hi salaam: I attach a photo enlargment, that should show you two details: one, on top, the letters "BO", probably the end of "COLOMBO", a famous explorer. On the bottom, I wrote two lines, see wireframe, when in the photo are three. Thanks to your interest and attention to my work. Lupen

Thanks for the clarification Lupen, your original photo is at a much higher resolution than your 1st post.
Also a good tip for copying photos.
