i drew niki nihachu for my digital design final. i’ve been working super hard on my realism recently and i think it’s payed off because this is so cool i love it [time taken - 9hours 32 minutes]

Wait, I thought it was a meme and you just took a screen shot of her stream, wow that's awesome
lmao thank you
Oh my god, I thought it was a photo until i read the title! This is amazing! I wish I had an award to give you.
Thank you so much!
Holy shit, Pogchamp
pogchamp indeed
what’s not pogchamp is the blisters on my hand from holding a fuckin apple pencil for 9 and a half hours
Took me a second to realize it was a drawing ngl

I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A PICTURE OF HER BEFORE I READ THAT CAPTION-
Where is the fanart? I only see a normal image.

Holy shit that’s so well done I legit had to look closer to realise that wasn’t just a picture and it was a meme legit that’s so cool
I literally couldn’t tell this is digital design until I read the title, I just thought it was a screenshot from a stream

Pog thank you!
Wow it's amazing I thought it was an actual picture!

yesss
Awesome!
You what? I legit thought this was a photo or a screenshot of her stream dude...
IT'S A DRAW!?!¡¿?!
Dude I thought this was a legit picture of her o my god this is good
At first glance I legit thought it was just a picture
I legit can’t tell the difference and still am not sure if it isn’t a screenshot
This is so cool I thought this was just a screenshot or something at first. I mean wow even with the amount of detail in the background. you are going to be the modern day Da Vinci
You're really skilled, holy shit! It looks so good! Keep it up!
is this a drawing HOW THE FUCK
this is gorgeous-
Who let this woman post a picture from Niki's stream?
i’m a woman but i appreciate the compliment
😔✋ sorry to break it to ya, you can't just take a picture of a person 😟 ok but, that's amazing, and tbh i really thought it was just a picture
THATS A DRAWING??? ITS SO GOOD
Wow GREAT job, until I read the tittle I thought it was a photo
This is absolutely amazing. If you don't get an A on this final I will riot and throw hands
I DID!!! i just got my results now and i got 100%
wow! it looks so real!
Wow this looks amazing, literally couldn’t tell it was a drawing and not a photo, great job again
I looked at the and thought it was a photo & have now been told it's a drawing and still think it's a photo
It’s not one of those things that if you look to fast it looks real, even if you look at it, it looks like a picture
I thought it was a photo until I looked at the title.
Damn, 9 hours I honestly thought it would of taken more time impressive work!
I thought that was a photo wow!! Poggers
I actually thought that was a photo
WAIT WAIT I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PHOTO YNTBKUYFUN
It looks like a filter, but i can tell its not, thats insane!
took me solid 10 seconds to realize it was a drawing AFTER reading the tittle, amazing work
Noice
Holy crap I thought this was a filter!!! Dude POGCHAMP! This is crazy
Sheesh, great work!
Wait that’s a drawing??? ._.
even the reflection on the glasses, damn
the reflection took so LONG
Isn't this this: https://twitter.com/Nihaachu/status/1360323744594591745/photo/2 but with a photoshop filter?
Photoshop filter over a photo...?
Now this is art.
it had better be it took so bloody long
and thank you :)
that's super cool!
pog than you!
I'm going to believe that this was hand drawn, but it's so good it's questionable if you're just memeing me lol
i swear it’s not, i’ve destroyed the battery on my ipad because of how many times it crashed and died while i drew this
nice picture of Niki :) ​ jokes aside, this looks so realistic, good job man!
I was confused on why a pic niki was here then I read the title. Holy shit take my upvote

Holy shoot this is so good! I didn’t even notice it was a drawing at first
THIS. IS. ART.
You really thought you could just reupload a pic of niki and get away with- oh
Bruh I can't even draw a strait line
I fully thought this was a picture, nice work!
Wait that's a drawing
That looks SO REALISTIC! Good Job!
You sure you didn't just take a screenshot?
you cant tell me that isnt just a screenshot of a stream.

Very good! I’m terrible at art stuff but wow. That is SO impressive.
I literally thought this one was just a picture until i read the title

What this isnt a photo
Wheres the drawing? You just took a picture
Holy fuck this incredible, at a glance I thought it was just a photo of her. Great job OP
Thats a drawing? Holy Shit!
I thought that was fake and like I looked deeper and you can see its drawn, BUT IT LOOKS SO FUCKING REAL.
This is so good!
Is this serious? Dude, it looked like a screenshot but then I saw the paint lines, this is so awesome!
That looks so realistic! Wow!
Woah genuinely thought “nice photo” until I looked at the background
THAT'S NOT A PHOTO?!?! AMAZING
man fuck u that looks so real I though u were meming fucing hell dude how is this content free u deserve money for this picture aajkjkagysxb u so talented man
IJGFRJILKHGJRKTKJG;GLRJOGRJRH WHAT?
I literally thought it was a screenshot. You are a very talented artist and I can tell you that you will be succesful in life :3
i need to see the reference photo
You’re drawing looks so real I thought it was the real pic of Nihachu that’s so cool you’re really good at what you do. 🤯
My homie posted a photo of niki like we wouldn't notice
If it wasn't for the corner i wouldn't have noticed this wasn't a picture. This is fantastic
You’re all mental. This is a photo with filters and drawing on top of it.
My reasons:
1. Look at the top left; where the crappy streaks stop you have quite clear lens blur; this has not been drawn.
2. The lips are on a different plain and are photo-realistic where most of the rest isn’t.
3. The transition from skin to eye, particularly on the subject’s left eye is totally unrealistic; like the lips is on two plains.
gay but good
i'm like 99% sure that this was colour dropped and traced. colour dropping is basically when you copy the colour from the original image, and place it on the exact same spot over the image on your canvas. it requires next to zero skill, and next to zero knowledge of art theory, because literally all your doing is using the eye dropper/colour dropper to copy the colours and then trace over the original image. i linked a gif below that overlays the artwork and the original image. you can see that almost all of the colour tones are the exact same, the only difference being that a few of the highlights are blended in. as well, the proportions are literally the exact same. this was a traced drawing. i found a comment with a gif overlaying the image and artwork, here's the gif: [https://imgur.com/a/dI9XYUm](https://imgur.com/a/dI9XYUm) and here's also a comment that actually proves the artist colour dropped: [https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamsmp/comments/lqg8ia/i\_drew\_niki\_nihachu\_for\_my\_digital\_design\_final/gohr02i?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamsmp/comments/lqg8ia/i_drew_niki_nihachu_for_my_digital_design_final/gohr02i?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) there's a big difference between referencing and tracing+colour dropping. this artist clearly traced and colour dropped, essentially copying the original image. that's why their art looks so realistic, they basically created a carbon copy. i'm sure the artist put a lot of effort into this piece of artwork, but nonetheless it still annoys me and won't stop me from ranting about it. there are many pieces of original artwork and fanart that are created completely by the artist, and most of them don't get as much attention as this. it's such a shame that this community has so many talented fan artists, who don't receive as much recognition that this specific artwork has, despite this artist literally just colour dropping and tracing an image.
Howly fuck that is awesome,you can't tell the diffrence beetween a screnshot or art,amaizing
I thought this was just a random photo from one of her streams till I read the title
i hope she see's this
I had to take a fucking screenshot and zoomed in to realize it's actually a drawing. Holy shit it must be such hard work
Bro don't act like you drew it, we all know this is just a photo
bro use your eyes you can literally see the places where the blending isn’t as good (the background, the forehead, places on the chair or headphones etc)
Shut up and take my upvote! Edit: I finally got one to give! Take a silver award
I was sitting here for a quick sec wondering where the drawing was, amazing job!
I refuse to believe that this isn't a screenshot with a filter wtf how did you make it so realistic and detailed
This is amazing! I thought it was a picture! Keep going! :D
