For anyone interested, I have developed my own personal method for drawing realistic portraits. Step 1. Very carefully sketch the outline. Step 2. Give up and cry.

Somewhere, Robin Williams is going "Holy Shit" at how amazing this picture is.

the title should be "printing a picture of robin williams with my hand"

I cried while watching this. Robin Williams was and still is my favorite actor. This is so beautiful to see him come to life in such a realistic drawing. Tears of joy are flowing from my eyes. Thank you for doing this. RIP Robin Williams

For those of you guys wanting to know what she used doe skin tone: 1) Light Peach (PC927) 2) Rosy Beige (PC1019) 3) Pink Rose (PC1018) 4) Either Terra Cotta (PC944) or Sienna Brown (PC945) 5) Of course, white (PC938) Those are just the colors I spotted and recognized from my Prismacolor set. Please like this comment so others may see as well. Also, add the colors you spotted if you recognized any of the colors she used.

He was all my childhood. RIP Genie!

I'm an art lover and to see something like this is absolutely mesmerizing. I am blessed with music talents and not art so I am FLOORED when I see something like this. In fact, let me state this: It takes an artistic GENIUS to construct something that is not "similar" or "approximately" capturing the very essence of that person but nailing it with pin-point accurate almost photographic representation. It's a gift from the creator who wired her brain to be able to translate that pencil or paint brush into a portrait masterpiece! I downloaded the and show it to my friends!

I love Robin William. One of my favorite comedian's. I deeply thank you for drawing this. Rest in peace Robin Williams! 🌷

This is so amazing that I can't stop crying r.i.p robin Williams

i can't even draw a circle this is just ugh perfection

At this level, it is almost comical that human being can do something like this.

This drawing made me cry, I loved Robin Williams and I always will. He was and will always be loved. I feel the same way he did. Isn't it weird how you can be one of the greatest most loved person on this world, and still feel like your nothing... life is one sick cruel thing, but the most important thing to do is take something sick and make it better.

Your talent is unbelievable. I feel satisfied when I draw a stickman perfectly.

That's not drawing... that's magic!

God I miss Robin Williams. He was such a good actor and he seemed like such a good person

This is so unbelievable... I love the way u draw, not just with your hands, but with your heart. How can people dislike this video, it goes to show that we live in a world filled with hate & that's what makes life so difficult because of people like them.

Cheeezuz, it looks like you're slowly scratching of the Paper, and behind lies a Photography(!) Salute to your Skills and rest in peace Mr. Williams

God, I can't believe it's already been a year since Robin passed away... the world is definitely missing a little more laughter without him here.

This honestly made me cry, Robin Williams was such a huge part of so many of our childhoods, he will definitely be missed.

Currently crying, because, like many others, I grew up watching his movies. Laughing, and crying with him playing those roles. When my mom told me he was dead, I went to my room and bawled my eyes out. We lost a legend, RIP Robin♥️

Heather, once again your talent is amazing. What a lovely tribute to Robin Williams. He was truly a national treasure. I hope someone who knows his family shares this with them because if it were my loved one I would feel so comforted by your portrait. You captured the magic in his eyes and sweetness in his face to perfection!!!

#STRIKINGLYbeautiful indeed.. Surely any family or any close friends and peers would consider this a wonderful tribute.. an honor.

Everytime I watch this, without fail I cry. Such a spectacular talent. We miss you, Robin❤

This is just too unreal!!! How do you do it???? I hope one day I can draw like you!!!!

You really captured his spirit with this fantastic drawing.

Did anyone else just sit there and think about all of the films he was in? Such as Hook, Jamanji, Who's line is it anyway, and solo much more. Sometimes j forget that he's gone, and then when I do forget, and then remember I just cry. I think you can ask anyone IN THE WORLD what kind of man Robin was, and how it effected their lives and they would all say: he was a very funny man, and he taught me, never to give up, and that sometimes, we can be silly and no one has to grow up. Also that no one has to be mature like everyone expects them to. When I first saw robin, In my mind I was like: oh this guy? He's probably a very serious actor and takes his work seriously, but of course I was dead wrong. I KNOW exactly how his voice is, and it just makes me laugh and cry At the same time.

This Made Me Cry! Robin Williams always made me laugh when I was down! 😢

Nooooooo, it can't be.... It looks so real.

I've never in my life seen such realistic drawings as this!

Why disliked ? Wow people ..

This beautiful portrait of Robin brings tears to my eyes. He brought so much light into the world. His influence on my own life has been truly profound. 🌛

If i hadn't watched this video, i dont think i would have believed anyone if they told me this was a drawing. Outrageously talented.

I really don't understand how people can dislike this video

Fantastic! If I'd have just seen the end result, I'd have sworn it was a photo.

even though he is dead, it feels like you have made him live again.. this drawing is speechless, i love it.

Even Robin Williams would go " Wow! " looking at that.

Anyone else cry while watching this? Rest In Peace Robbin Williams. You, my friend, are an amazing artist!! Can you draw JackSepticEye??

Wow! Both true artists.

That's unbelievable! She free hand drew the outline of Mr. Williams' portrait with astonishing accuracy, not to mention the live like coloring. You brought Mr. Williams to live!

H O W L O N G D I D T H I S T A K E ITS INCREDIBLE

Wonderful job! RIP Robin Williams :(

it's hard to get my head around what is being created on screen. i've watched a few of your videos and am in awe of your talent, as are the people who have looked on over my shoulder. amazing. incredible. fantastic.

I think everyone misses him, plus also drawing, and I've probably watched this more then ten times!

Awww Robin, you’ll be forever missed and loved 😢😇 What an absolutely amazing picture of him❤️🥺

God.. Seriously, it looks like a photo ! You're so talented, it's AMAZING.

Are you using a transfer technique to do your pencil sketch? Your portraits line up perfectly with the original picture but I can't see any transfer lines. would love to know the technique you are using. Thanks

I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!! Amazing drawing!!!!!

I miss him so much!! I cried watching this, thank you so much, this is really gorgeous 🖤

We've found them. We've found the little person inside the camera that draws the pictures.

Rest in peace Robin Williams

Never mind, you are the best of the best of hyperrealism drawing these days!

Oh my GOD this was absolutely amazing! How are you SO talented, this looks like a freakin' photograph! You are phenomenal!!!

I'm crying in 5 different languages

When the music went from sad to loud it scared the Crap out of me

You are just.... No words to describe. What a talent heather!!!!!

“Robin Williams didn’t die from suicide. I only just heard the sad, sad news of Robin Williams’s death. My girl sent me a message to tell me he had died, and, when I asked her what he died from, she told me something that nobody in the news seems to be talking about. When people die from cancer, their cause of death can be various horrible things - seizure, stroke, pneumonia - and when someone dies after battling cancer, and people ask “How did they die?”, you never hear anyone say “pulmonary embolism”, the answer is always “cancer”. A Pulmonary Embolism can be the final cause of death with some cancers, but when a friend of mine died from cancer, he died from cancer. That was it. And when I asked my wife what Robin Williams died from, she, very wisely, replied “Depression”. The word “suicide” gives many people the impression that “it was his own decision,” or “he chose to die, whereas most people with cancer fight to live.” And, because Depression is still such a misunderstood condition, you can hardly blame people for not really understanding. Just a quick search on Twitter will show how many people have little sympathy for those who commit suicide… But, just as a Pulmonary Embolism is a fatal symptom of cancer, suicide is a fatal symptom of Depression. Depression is an illness, not a choice of lifestyle. You can’t just “cheer up” with depression, just as you can’t choose not to have cancer. When someone commits suicide as a result of Depression, they die from Depression - an illness that kills millions each year. It is hard to know exactly how many people actually die from Depression each year because the figures and statistics only seem to show how many people die from “suicide” each year (and you don’t necessarily have to suffer Depression to commit suicide, it’s usually just implied). But considering that one person commits suicide every 14 minutes in the US alone, we clearly need to do more to battle this illness, and the stigmas that continue to surround it. Perhaps Depression might lose some its “it was his own fault” stigma, if we start focussing on the illness, rather than the symptom. Robin Williams didn’t die from suicide. He died from Depression*. It wasn’t his choice to suffer that.” Depression is a terrible disease. It's not often visible, and that's its danger. Ask someone if they're suffering from depression and they'll never say, "Why, yes I am.", it's more subtle than that. They'll tell you "I feel fine, never better!", but that's just the disease talking. Some depressives commonly self-medicate with alcohol and/or drugs to mask the pain. That only compounds the problem. It is critical to recognize the signs of depression, sleeping disturbances, prolonged periods of sadness, social withdrawal, poor eating habits, abandonment of hobbies, lack of energy, feelings of hopelessness and negativity. You and your friends need to gather around a person experiencing these symptoms and take them seriously. You need to get them into a proper treatment program, don't just slap 'em on the back and tell them they'll be OK. They won't. Despite all Robin Williams' success in making others laugh, he was a broken man inside. With competent professional treatment, maybe he could have been saved, but as with so many celebrities, he didn't have enough present friends who would risk their relationship by getting him the care he needed. His death proves that even clowns do cry - and too often they die. If someone were to die at the age of 63 after a lifelong battle with MS or Sickle Cell, we’d all say they were a “fighter” or an “inspiration.” But when someone dies after a lifelong battle with severe mental illness and drug addiction, we say it was a tragedy and tell everyone “don’t be like him, please seek help.” That’s bullshit. Robin Williams sought help his entire life. He saw a psychiatrist. He quit drinking. He went to rehab. He did this for decades. That’s HOW he made it to 63. For some people, 63 is a fucking miracle. I know several people who didn’t make it past 23 and I’d do anything to have 40 more years with them.

Best artist I have ever seen, this looks like a photograph I wish I had 1/4 of the talent you have YOUR AMAZING OML I wish I was good at art I'm so bad 😪

ロビンが出来上がっていく様をみてたら涙が出てきました。いい作品みさせてもらえて感謝します

Beautiful work, made me cry. Thank you for sharing !

Why would anyone dislike her amazing work :)

you make drawing seem so easy. YOU'VE GOT GREAT TALENT :)

Such talent. simply amazing.

This is absolutely insane how good this is! I'm so astounded by photorealistic artists!

"You're free now, Genie. I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too, Al."

Dude that texture tho :O

This drawing and its artist are miracles.

It's been three and a half years and I still watch things like this to make the ache a bit less.

I know this comment is like two years after it happend but he really made my life so happy and every time he had a movie I would ask my mum to go see it she also loved him but when I discovered he had past away I was so heart broken I started crying I don't know how he died I forgot but I do want to know but I don't at the same time this picture is amazing btw

Wow, what a solidarity, 0 dislikes so far, let's keep liking this video guys!!

I watched all of them. From Rickman to Williams. In one sitting. I think people noticed I was missing. Worth it. Totally.

magnifique talent bravo Heater

Amazing what someone can with a pencil and paper WOW.

Even seeing it being done it's hard to believe... WoW beyond amazing 😮

I never knew about this till today. Wonderful stuff. Honestly, any time someone brings him up, I feel a stir of emotion envelope within me, and I always have to fight the tears back a bit. That man meant so much to me, and in many ways still does. He gave me so many laughs, he's just someone who will forever have a place in my heart and I'll always look back on his work and smile. Thanks for sharing this with us. I know it's an old video, but it really touched me.

You are a perfect artist
