Canavarro admitted that he only used color pencils in all the drawing and focused on its skin texture detail. It is not surprising that his final painting looks like a high resolution photograph.

The skin texture detail, take me a lot of time, he said.
Aside from drawing the portrait of Freeman, Canavarro also painted other celebrities using the same method. Those artists are Robin Williams, Al Pacino, Kate Beckinsale and Evangeline Lilly.
