Pencil Vs Camera - 57by `BenHeine

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Conceptual

Sometimes, you find the key to your problems in the dark moment.
There is always a magic door and a key near you. The light and the
solution aren't far. Sad events can be a source of enrichment too.
The bird I drew isn't an eagle or a parrot, it's a crow. (If you wish,
you can also view a detail and the work in progress here...)

See the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album

You can find several interviews about the Pencil Vs Camera
series and about my other concepts as well at this link.

The above picture is dedicated to Caroline, the model.

Update: See THIS VIDEO showing some 18 Pencil Vs Camera
images in progress (with a small animation and original music).

Take My Key of Dreams

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Take my key of dreams
For anything that´ll go
Not all is what it seems
Thru the keyhole’s glow

Stretch you own wings
Flow them thru a twist
The character inside sings
What your traits has kissed

Roads must be two ways
One is to your reply
The other with head plays
Wherein the interiors fly

Love is in its fine tresses
Falling down to the earth
Mind and ability abolishes
Each of its possess worth

Sometimes you’ll find a key
To your instant problems
It might have a sure way
To what it after that becomes

Pencil Vs Camera -57 by `BenHeine "His artwork is absolutely superb and not only shows viewers an amazing story, but one of superb perfection in his technique. His skill in creating these amazing pieces is one that I look up to as a student, photographer and artist. His series, Pencil Vs Camera, takes two amazing forms of art and puts them together to tell an extraordinary story." ( Suggested by `TimberClipse and Featured by `WDWParksGal )

If perfection exists, then this photograph personifies it.

Either I haven't been exposed to a lot of art or I have seen it all. Whatever it is, I am left truly mesmerized by this stunning monument of creativity.

The background is bright and vibrant. The architecture is cheerful and so are the indigo clothes worn by the lady. But as far as she is concerned, I notice despair and sadness.

But the mighty pencil comes to the rescue. The piece of paper introduces us to hope, to a silver lining, to the light at the end of the tunnel.

The colors fade away but the message only becomes more prominent and brighter.

And suddenly, I feel like one of those two small beings pointing towards the end of despair, the bird.

Visual Art can be beautiful but to be so outstanding, it has achieve an ethereal level of creativity. This photograph does.

What do you think?

This piece first off is truly stunning work of photography. The drawing itself is also very well placed, and the colours contrast very nicely. At first, it's easy for our mind to connect these two in just one scene, but then later on we realise it's actually a great work of mind trickery. Which, is quite hard to capture with a combination of photos and art.

First, I'll start off with the vision aspect. The paper itself is very well placed to the slightest detail, almost fitting in with most of the landscape (save for very minor details which aren't very crutial to the piece). The colours are vibrant and warm to the eye, which is nice against the grey image. The only reason why I marked it four stars instead of higher is because of the placement of the hand, which is a little bit awkward in the scenery (and hence why I could even make out the illusion from afar). The hand could have been toned slightly differently to fit in with the background, but that's pretty much my only hint on this piece. The vision itself though, shows mastery of skill.

Then, originality. This piece is quite original because even though there have been many paper vs camera pictures, none have this creativity I feel.

Technique is aboslutely fantastic. I know it's been done before but with skill and imagination it's somewhat mind-blowing. Very true to the principles of photography and art, your technique is pretty much mastered. Great job there. :]

This piece has a lot of impact in both how the colours are set out and how you can really get a 'bam' effect once you stumble on to the picture. The blues at the front go very well with her dress, her red hair goes well with the background, the background fades into subtle colours... all this makes for a truly impressive impact.

Sorry about the length of this, but I really thought this piece was superb and deserved a long critique.
