Timelapse Illustrated Oscar Selfies

Artist Heather Rooney Illustrated the Oscar Selfie

— March 14, 2014 — Pop Culture
The famous Oscar selfie has been produced using nothing but colored pencils by Heather Rooney. It is pretty incredible how perfectly drawn the Oscar selfie is. It almost looks like a printed pictures from a digital camera. I was shocked at how amazing and talented Rooney is.

The 20 year old artist creates these pencil drawings in a time lapse video to show exactly how she created the look. Heather uses Prismacolor colored pencils to create the photorealistic drawings.

I am not very artistic, and watching how detail oriented Heather is makes me wish my abilities were a little bit better. You can request photos to be illustrated by Heather Rooney by email. If I wanted myself illustrated by anyone, it would have to be her.
