    They look real! Amazing!

  2. Tracie Says:

    Are these artists saying they created these photographs, or copied them? Because I have one of those pictures from (it’s a rather old stock photo), and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t created in illustrator. I could be wrong …

  3. André Says:

    looks pretty cool. It just a matter of diligence

  4. Vectordiary Says:

    Hi Tracie, all of them are created with illustrator. They may have use a stock photo to trace, this might be possible.

    now the real question here is why don’t you just take a photo?
    but I guess the answer is gonna be on the lines of because you can

  8. Vectordiary Says:

    Hi Yoshike, with gradient mesh you can blow the picture up real big without loss of resolution. That makes a difference from a photo.

  9. Patti March Says:

    I agree with Tracie… I have the image of the girl that Halim Ghodbane (Algeria)
    posted. It is from an old stock photo from Corel I believe. It does not look different from the original???

    I could’nt belive.
    If could have the ai file.
    I would say it’s really from Adobe Illustrator.

  11. Patti March Says:

    Are the .ai files available to look at for these?

  12. Vectordiary Says:

    Yes, they are really done using gradient mesh. If you visit their website they actually show the gradient mesh wire. However the ai is not available for download.
