Absolutely incredible work. I really love the hyper-realism. What skill you must certainly have to achieve this level of realism. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

You are the only artist that I've seen yet that can fill the void left by the late great Kent Bellows!

I was wondering how you prepare your canvas prior to applying charcoal. I'm currently working with colored pencil on mylar / acetate layers to achieve photorealism, but this becomes extremely time consuming. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, and excellent work.
dirkdzimirsky Replied: February 24, 2010
Thanks. I coat it with a pastel primer / acrylic paint mix. The surface is really rough, not sure if you'd like it.
mickpark  Posted: February 10, 2010

Hi again Dirk, I just watched the video posted at boesnerTV...loved watching you work (so relaxing and interesting it could have been movie length!)...anyways, I was wondering what it was you were resting your arm on...I just did my first drawing with charcoal and knew immediately I needed something like a maulstick....
dirkdzimirsky Replied: February 02, 2010
Yep, a stick is fine. ;-)
jamiebone  Posted: January 31, 2010
I am speechless. Seriously, these are beautiful.
dirkdzimirsky Replied: February 02, 2010
Thanks!
bridierollins  Posted: January 30, 2010
Phenomenal work. I particularly identified with your comments about photo-realism....I use my own photo references but also very loosely and only for proportion. I often find myself once past that point rarely looking at my references again...working more with how it feels to me....really beautiful art Dirk.
dirkdzimirsky Replied: January 31, 2010
Thank you very much.

So...I got creepy and bought the Drawing magazine just to read the article on you...the idea of working from photographs as liberating was new to me. You backed it up though. Great article, too. Congrats.
