# Timelapse Illustrated Oscar Selfies Artist Heather Rooney Illustrated the Oscar Selfie By Jennifer Paul | Published 2014-03-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heather-rooney References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/richardhjames/artist-recreates-oscars-selfie-using-just-pencils) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/ZephyrHR/featured) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfiestory) to show exactly how she created the look. Heather uses Prismacolor colored pencils to create the [photorealistic drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawings-alive). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Timelapse Illustration:** Timelapse techniques in illustration allow for captivating and mesmerizing artwork to be created in a condensed time frame. - **Photorealistic Colored Pencil Art:** The use of colored pencils to create incredibly realistic drawings captures intricate details and brings images to life with stunning accuracy. - **Digital Camera-like Drawings:** Artists like Heather Rooney are able to replicate the quality and precision of digital photographs through their hand-drawn artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Supplies:** The demand for high-quality colored pencils and other art supplies increases as more artists embrace photorealistic styles and timelapse techniques. - **Art Education:** Institutions and online platforms focused on teaching and promoting timelapse illustration and photorealistic colored pencil art experience a surge in popularity. - **Digital Imaging:** The field of digital imaging and photography can explore collaborations with artists to discover new techniques and technologies that blend traditional and digital art forms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Line Drawing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Artistic AI Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketcher-x.md) - [Digital AI-Generated Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picsart-1.md) - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitify-ai-portrait-studio.md) - [Self-Sharpening Coloring Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-colouring-pencils.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [AI Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawmypet.md) - [AI-Powered Sketch-To-Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawingpics.md)
