Photo realistic illustration
Photo realistic illustration is mainly used for entertainment and be used on websites. It is entertaining as it makes the reader or a user feel a certain way by the use of making illustrated images or scene look like they were taken by a camera but were made by hand or by using a design software like illustrator.
Aesthetic of Photo realistic style
This is style is becoming more popular as an illustrated image that looks like it was take by a camera, is made by hand or a software on the computer. This style is mainly used in computer games making characters and structures look more realistic, this makes the user or reader feel or act a certain way after seeing the image. This would be one reason why I like this style as it gives a hand drawn image (digitally or by pencil and paper) the illusion like it was taken on a camera the use of a real world setting and having a hand drawn character to be in it just makes it a very beautiful art style.
