You may not believe your eyes but the image above is not a photograph, it's just a painting of a non-real person done using airbrush, not Photoshop.
Dru Blair took around 70 hours to paint this beautiful photorealistic image - look at the eyes, skin tones, hair curls.. they look so real.
Dru has the details on how he completed this painting dubbed "Tica" - Photorealism at its best.

If you read the text at the site you're linking to this is a real person. Her name is Tica and she's a local model and the painting was created from a digital photo.
The details of the painting are still incredible nonetheless but the model is absolutely not fictive :-)
