Fake Drawing

Dear lord, what happened to her eyes?!?

Well .. her career hasn't done much lately ...

It might ... then again they may need an "intervention".

So I'm guessing that she prints a large photo - modified with PS - then adds graphite.
The photo is turned to grayscale and the linen or canvas filter is used.
I'm also guessing that the opacity is set so that it's quite light - then it would be a simple matter of going over the whole thing with pencil to bring up the contrast and add the required "hand drawn" look.

I noticed that her wips feature a complete face - with the grid and the start of the hair added by hand afterwards to complete the effect.

I doubt she did anything in graphite. The proportions are the same as the original photo top and bottom, and it would be nearly impossible for a scanned print to look that smooth.
I would guess she painted over the image of Sarah on a layer with Photoshop set at a low opacity, and possibly had a linen layer set to overlay mode in PS.
Anyone notice how the background doesn't have a texture?

and here's the original photo.

How's this for a name The_Erik_Weisz_Group


As for finding more fraudulent drawings. Sorry, she doesn't have that many traditional pieces.
About all I can offer is her Kate Beckinsale digital painting, which was clearly just painted on top of the photo.

This is a large gif

Look at how Eileen claimed she did the Kate Beckinsale painting.

Like you said - it's obvious that she didn't start with an outline, but merely painted directly over the original image.
But maybe I shouldn't use the word "merely" because I think that there is still a fair amount of skill involved, even rendering it this way.
It's too bad she felt the need to fake the wip - because as a digital work (retouch ?) I think it looks pretty good.

As an aside, I'm surprised at how little retouching was done to the original photo of Kate. It's not often you see a large photo of an actress with all the usual imperfections still visible.
(I still love Kate !! )

Real or Fake ? :

Actually I think retouch might be a better description. The color appears to be dead on. She probably blurred and smudge the photo.

As for the snow boarder...I'm guessing fake with all the made up videos that's been out lately, but there's no evidence I could point out to prove it either way.

I like The_Erik_Weisz_Group as a name. I'm on study week right now but if I get a chance I'll deke over to campus either tomorrow or Friday and get us set up.

And while we're at it... real or fake?

Sorry I wasn't able to take part in the discussion.
But COUNT ME IN with the new DA account.

I'm actually "active" in getting more people at DA to believe that Eileenirma is fake. Here's one reply I got today:
Haha!, you won't believe me, but I made exactly the same gif some time ago, when she won the first place in the Kate Beckinsale Contest (and I won the third place that should have been the second ). The one I have, is even better because I took the real picture from the photos that gave for the contest, and is exactly the same size, so you can see the complete picture, real and fake that are almost the same.

I think she has talent, she is good drawing, and I know that she gets accuracy with the grid she uses for the drawings, here [link] you can see it, if you look carefully. But I also know that is impossible to get 100% or 99% accuracy even with small grids. I know that, because I also make use of a grid when I paint to get the best accuracy I can get, and spending many many hours with each painting, I'm not able to do that. So I think that she must be cheating in some way, I don't know how exactly but she cheating for sure.

Keep up the good work Tom. Once I get the faker catching account set up we'll definitely be using your work.

What about me ???

You never ceased to amuse me!

I just remember...Eileen said she used both PS and Painter X for her Kate drawing. I may not be that familiar with Painter X but I believe she used it only for her signature..if there are any.

You never ceased to amuse me!

THAT'S NOT COOL.
Play with my picture BUT NOT MY IDOL.

Does any one think this would convince some of our skeptics that Eileen is just painting over photos?

I just realized that she used linen textured paper on both the SARAH drawing and the BUTTERFLY EFFECT. But you can see very little texture on the BUTTERFLY piece.
The textures should be visible both in dark and light tones. And with this huge drawing of 24"x36" with an A4 size scanner, she should've scanned it at least 9 TIMES, not 8 TIMES.

On a side note, I was BLOCKED by that artlit guy and he deleted all the posts in his 2 FAKE traditional drawings. We must not let him get away with it.

Also, I befriended/watched the guy who promoted the Kate drawing contest, wherein Eileen won the top prize. I intend to send him/her the gif in the near future.
He/she may not be able to take back the prize from Eileen but I hope he/she will take the honor back.

Am I BAD enough to qualify as a member of the group?

I've been blocked too.
