We recently discovered the amazing work of photorealist Dylan Eakin. Eakin graduated from the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas, in 2013 with a degree focused on sculptural art. It was in 2016 that he began training himself in photorealism. Why? โBecause it was cheaper than pursuing a career in figurative ceramics,โ he said on his Website.
Eakin, who lives and works in Seattle, Washington, uses charcoal as his main medium, with graphite for finer details. โEvery once in a while, Iโll use tiny points of white paint for the highlights,โ he wrote on Bored Panda. Letโs check out some of Eakinโs work, which is sure to impress!

As you can see, Eakinโs talent in photorealism is truly impressive. His images are engaging and incredibly realistic. He describes his process on his Website as follows:
โAdapting myself into the regiments of photorealistic drawing requires an assimilation into automata. Thereโs not a single facet of the genre that doesnโt necessitate a direct confrontation towards a shopping list of personal weaknesses,โ he writes. โReforming my process of art production becomes a reconfiguration of human habits into mechanical ones, a method of self-improvement via photographic translation and a stick of charcoal.โ
