"Digital Drawing" for Erik Weisz

This image popped up on the home page of DA and even after two seconds looking at the small preview I knew it wasn't what it claimed to be:

I saved it and put it into Photoshop, then found the original picture and layered it over top. Not surprisingly, every single flyaway hair, every single line, every single shadow lined up absolutely perfectly. Here is a series of images: on the left is the photo placed on top of the 'drawing" at 100% opacity. Second from left is the photo at 75% opacity. In the middle is the photo at 50% opacity. Second from right is the photo at 25% opacity. And on the right is the "drawing".




This wasn't even a good fake, Phan-Tom will probably be able to pick out more changes than I can, but to me it looks like the faker just converted the picture to black and white and then applied a bit of a textured filter to it. This is definitely one of the more lazy fakes I've seen.

I just looked at the rest of her profile, and it looks like almost all of her deviations are fakes. It's hilarious that she posts some of them as pencil drawings and some as digital art, because they all look the same. There is only one surprise about this whole thing... she is a teenaged girl ostensibly looking for attention. Oh wait, what, that's been done before? Hmmmmm...

Here is one of her "pencil drawings":

loser

I don't understand why they do it.
I found a gallery that I'm suspicious about, but I may be wrong, have a look and tell me what you think.
They seem like manipulated photos to me.

it lookms like someone hit the contrast button alot and claimed it as their own drawing

Looks like grantedwish already deactivated the account. That was fast.

As for Partmissing. She doesn't seem to be fooling too many people if you look at people commenting on her "drawings".
They're both pretty pathetic attempts at faking.

I tried my hand at replicating Missingpart's Demi Lovato. Here's my attempt. It's not the same size, but I had to work with what I found.

Mine


Here's hers.

definitley fake

As for Partsmissing's Taylor Lautner drawing, check out the compare feature on tineye.
It even has the same little bit of type showing in the bottom right corner.
