Realistic portraits of celebs created using 5 pounds iPad app

London, Aug 19 (ANI): An illustration and animation graduate has created a number of realistic portraits of celebrities by using the simple iPad app Brushes, which costs just 4.99 pounds.

Kyle Lambert, 23, created portraits of celebs like Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston, Russell Brand, Madonna, and Jude Law.

"There's a lot of parallels to draw from painting in real life. The only difference is you're using your finger," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

"It's very direct and it can be quicker, and I love the portability element," he stated.

Lambert, from Altringham in Cheshire, says the pictures can take up to eight hours to complete, and that with a bit of practice, anyone with an iPad could create the same level of artwork.

He has posted videos of him completing his work on YouTube where he his speeded up animations have received more than 300,000 hits.

"It's a great form of art because after you've finished you can watch back the process. It's almost like a performance art," he added. (ANI)
