VIDEO: Artist draws incredibly realistic portrait of Lionel Messi

Take a look at this picture of Lionel Messi. Just your standard head shot, right?

Pretty impressive, right?

Even though photo-realistic drawings like this are very time-consuming to produce, Rooney has also drawn several other World Cup stars, including Neymar and Clint Dempsey and Wayne Rooney. You can see her work over at her YouTube channel.
