Kyle Lambert is a British artist, and is causing quite the stir with his insanely creative doodling. Lambert used an Ipad to create the likeness of, living legend, Morgan Freeman in 285,000 strokes. The Morgan Project took him one month to complete.
The original photograph was taken by acclaimed photographer Scott Gries, according to Daily Mail . Lambert's replica recreates every crease, freckle, finite hair, and texture that comprises Morgan's face.
Lambert mused, “I think I must have been watching the movie Oblivion when the idea of Morgan Freeman came to mind,” according to Opposing Views.
“I get very involved in my process so spend a lot of time each day on the painting,” he said. “I was spending 9-10 hours some days if a certain area I was working on was complicated.”
“There is no real ‘secret’ to painting realistic images,” he said. “It is all about going that extra mile and spending time on each and every area of your image. … The most important thing is to spend more time looking at what you are painting and less time presuming.”
Lambert chronicled his amazing artistic feat by recording each stroke on an Ipad Air app entitled Procreate.
Lambert is a classically trained oil painter.
