Call her the LeBron James of drawing, because we are all witnesses to the fact that Heather Rooney is an incredibly talented artist.

It's fun to see Rooney share her art on Twitter. But, better yet, she shares her process on YouTube. The short video embedded atop this post shows her LeBron James portrait come to life in amazing fashion.

James himself hasn't given Rooney any shout-outs on Twitter or anything like that. But don't blame him for being rude or aloof — on Saturday, he started his annual NBA playoffs blackout on social media.

The last two years, James has broken his silence only after wining an NBA championship. We'll see if this third time continues the tradition.
