An unreal portrait of Morgan Freeman has been created using only an iPad.
Unreal, as in it's something you won't believe. The incredibly detailed portrait looks like a traditional painting, but it was made completely with an iPad using just a finger, ABC reported.
Kyle Lambert, a visual artist from Cheshire, England, made the painting using some 285,000 brushstrokes. It took about 200 hours to complete the project, which the 26-year-old made after he "reduced the brush size to a few pixels, pinched to zoom and carefully painted in the fine detail."
Everything in the painting, down to the hairs in Freeman's beard and the detail in his lips, was done by hand. Lambert worked off a photo taken by Scott Gries.
"My work combines my passion for art, technology and storytelling," Lambert explains on his website. "I trained as a traditional oil painter/illustrator and consider my main strengths to be the manipulation of color, light and form to visualize story sequences, character designs and environment concepts."
To complete the project, Lambert made a time-lapse video to display how he pulled off the detailed iPad drawing.
Encapsulating more than 300 hours of work, the three-minute video has garnered more than 2 million views on YouTube so far. The video shows the portrait coming together layer by intricate layer.
"I have a fine attention to detail, a strong work ethic and place a lot of emphasis on research and experimentation in my work," Lambert says on the website. "I thrive on the constant challenge to learn and improve as an artist and love what I do."
The Freeman portrait isn't Lambert's first time working in iPad art. The Englishman did a similar portrait of Beyonce in 2010 that is also on YouTube.
The young artist's hope is that his iPad portraits will "inspire other budding artists to embrace digital art."
