That's impressive, but definitely not as impressive as the many video responses to it.

Just absolutely AWESOME. What incredible skills. To go from a white canvas to that in less than 3 hours! I like how the original portrait is laid over as the last frame...which is what I hoped would happen.
The music really works with the accelerated pace...at least for me.
Thanks, divabat.

Wow‽ Good stuff. Truly standards are so high that creating fine art is no longer good enough; you have to create fine art whilst dealing with a major impediment. I wonder if this guy's good enough to paint the Mona Lisa in MS Paint and have me jogging his arm every nine seconds.

Well, I'm impressed, in the same way that I was impressed by the guy who moved a houseful of belongings with his bike.

That's totally a dude in the painting. The artistic process reveals as much.

Thanks to this, I have now seen possibly the best ever response on YouTube, replete with one of the best pleading comments too.

davehat: unless you're being sarcastic, that's the worst response ever to a youtube video. Although I have to yet to see a response that was actually interesting.

It appears that the first few minutes were spent tracing a photograph of the original Mona Lisa to identify the key points of the face to get the proportions correct. So while the shading techniques are exemplary (particularly so considering how craptacular the MS Paint palette is), I am not nearly as stunned as I feel I should be.
