and has tiny toy cars driving through the middle of it"

Half Real

A poem by Katie Gabrielle

Half Real, Big Deal
Steel Wheel, Race, Race
Anyplace, Go fast, Not last
Shiny new, Race you
Bet you can't
Beat my wheels
Half Real, Big Deal
Happy Car, Goes Far
Take me, I wanna see
Shiny car, Go far
Along the highway
I have it my way
Half real, Big Deal
New Car, Goes Far
It's mine, So fine
Big deal, It's half real
Draw one for me
That crosses the sea
No way, You say?
That's a drawing
For another day

This is a super cool concept, "half real"!
I like how there seems to be a story and meaning behind it (though I'm not precisely sure what that is), and how its based on a poem.

I also quite like the little face you put on the bumper. It seemed sad at first, but now I see it's sort of a neutral face, perhaps monotone about its unreal existence? Its these little details which draws me to your art!

It raises a lot of unanswered questions and mystery, which I like.

The car seems like some hi-tech transportation device,
although, I'm not quite sure why meteors are falling onto the car.
Perhaps it means the big car protects the pathway for the little ones, or maybe I'm reading too much into this. Also, is there a significance to how the car is pink?

I can't really find much that requires improvement. I suppose you could add more details in this, though its simplicity emphasizes the pencil vs camera theme.

Overall, a creative idea, though I wish I'd understand it more!

What do you think?

Absolutely stunning. I have seen some 'attempts' to do the same sort of thing, but this is off the scale compared to them. It must have taken such a long time and so many tries to accurately align everything to make the drawing look three dimensional and to literally join with the background. And not only that, the drawing itself is fantastic! Some people may say that the shading should be darker to link the photo and the drawing more, but in my opinion, it exposes the drawing and the virtual feel in it.
Furthermore the fact that the car is halved emphasizes the phrase: 'HALF REAL.'
Oh one more thing, I love the small cars and the meteor shower in the drawing, however simple they are, it adds a comical touch.
