MonaLisa in MS Paint

I’m sure many of you must have already seen these video, but this is the first time I saw it and was stunned beyond words. As if creating something so brilliant with a mouse itself is not amazing enough(though I have a feeling the artist used a tablet), the whole thing was done using Microsoft’s much maligned and abused MS Paint.
Yes all you Photoshoppers and Gimpers, this is for real. Now I’m no painter, but the way the artist went about creating the framework and then building the basic structures of the painting and then proceeding to shade the different regions was enlightening. The interesting part is that the basic structure is done in half the time. It’s the nuances and the finer details that take the rest of the time. Kinda true about life in general, its the finer things in life that differentiate the best from the rest.
Enjoy the video

Just in case, if you are still having any doubts about MS Paint’s capability, check out this image created entirely out of - you know what (The image is from DeviantArt). Adios for now
