Realism
Photorealistic rendering translated into skin — portraits, animals, objects, and scenes reproduced with careful attention to light, shadow, and tonal graduation. Requires precise needle control and a high degree of technical skill. Colour and black-and-grey variants each demand different expertise.
- Photorealistic light and shadow rendering
- High technical skill requirement
- Portraits, animals, and objects as subjects
