23:53Drawing Hyper Realistic WET Face Portrait!
Save referenceExpectation Violation
At first glance it looks like a photo of a screaming face with black liquid pouring over it. Then the pencil and the powder jars tell you it's a drawing. The glossy white highlights on the drips are what make that hard to believe.
'Hyper Realistic' sets the bar, and WET in capitals names the hardest part to draw, since shine and reflections are tough to fake in pencil.
No text is needed, because the tools in shot say what the video is, and the black drips against a pale face make the strongest contrast in the frame.
When your result is so good it could pass for something else, show it with your tools still in shot so viewers catch the twist themselves. Let the title name the hardest part you pulled off.
Keep the tools in shot so the twist reveals itself.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
