Every so often, a member sends us a link that just blows our mind. This is such an example. Take a closer look here.
Pisan Kaewma calls herself a “hobbyist”. Which makes me feel even worse, because I could never do something this well. In our opinion. Whatever you are doing as a career Pisan – stop it. This is your calling. You are very talented.
Take a close look at the skin tone and gentle lighting in the hair. Genius.

Vector Artist Mark Westberg
Mark Westberg is from Minnesota, USA. He has an interest in motorcycles, airplanes, and nudes. They are all created in vector, but have an airbrushed painted quality applied to them. Especially the airplane images below. They have a hyperreal detail, while using depth of field, and blur techniques to simulate motion. Look at the blur on the propeller at the bottom right. The artist also creates atmospheric lighting with the sunset backgrounds. The motorcycle is made from flat shapes. If you look at the left rim you can see where some noticeable shapes were left.
Oleg Rogoznev – from Russia with love
Russia –
Oleg Rogoznev is a Russian artist with a really impressive craft when it comes to design of realistic vector images. His work takes on hyperreal qualities by focusing on extreme detail (see The Flower below, at the left hand side). In the Still life (below right) he uses subjective lighting. In the Large eye he captures realistic detail, while allowing some of hair and skin elements to show through as simplified vectors. You can visit his portfolio for further works.

Vector Motorcycle Art by Chris Nielsen
Chris Nielsen has a passion for two things: red hot American motorcycles and vector art. The combination of the two has caught the eyes of a few ANCHORPOINT members who demanded that we put the spotlight on his work. Your wish is our command. Here are a few words from the artist:
“My name is Chris Nielsen. I am a part-time computer graphics instructor in southern California. My specialty is using the digital medium of the computer to create visual art. My personal emphasis is in the subject of digital drawings of Motorcycle portraits. I have an MFA Degree in the area of illustration, with an emphasis on computer art. I received my Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cal State Fullerton.
With my NEW Motorcycle Illustrations, I work STRICTLY in Adobe Illustrator. My work is completely made up of flat-colored shapes… lots and lots of them! I DO NOT work with any types of Filters or Special Effects. I like the process of developing a realistic look in my illustrations with totally flat colors and abstract shapes.I define the Visual Style of my Motorcycle work as Stylized Realism.As for my images… well, I usually go with what appeals to me visually. In other words, I draw what I like to look at. I will be honest. I don’t know the first thing about how a motorcycle works. I have never even sat on a motorcycle. But, I do know that there is nothing (in my opinion) more exciting for me, as an artist, than to see all those wonderful little details in the construction of these amazing machines!I hold the designers and craftsmen who build these bikes in the highest regard for the obvious talents they show off. The artistic design, craftsmanship and flawless construction of the bikes I create my portraits from is an art form in itself that I admire and pay tribute to in my own work.I choose to work on portraits of motorcycles that you and I do not have the privilege of viewing on a daily basis. I do not focus on the whole motorcycle either. I prefer to crop in on those amazing and complicated, little parts and focus on those relationships. Those are the portraits I like to draw… simply because its a challenge to me… and theyre fun to look at and talk about.” -Chris Nielsen

Henke Svensson – ultra realistic vector art
Sweden
Liquid has got to be one of the most difficult things to master in vector art. Light bends and distorts reflections in ways that the human mind has a hard time understanding. When an artist attempts to emulate liquid and misses something the human eye will catch it immediately.Now imagine that process one point at a time. Henke Svensson has taken his art to a photographic level. Here are a few of his best examples.
