British artist Kyle Lambert has created incredibly realistic finger painted picture of Morgan Freeman. Photo / YouTube
It may look like a photograph of actor Morgan Freeman, but the picture is a painting of the actor done using an iPad.
In what is being heralded as the most realistic finger painting ever, British artist Kyle Lambert completed the picture in over 200 hours, using 285,000 brush strokes
with his fingertips.
With the help of app Procreate, Lambert painted the detailed portrait of the original photograph taken by Scott Griers.
Lambert, who trained in oil paint and illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University, used the app to reduce the brush sizes to only a few pixels allowing him to apply minuscule strokes.
The artist has created a time lampse video of the work - showing each freckle and grey hair as they develop- which has gained over 4.9 million views on YouTube in just two days.
