While many celebrities voice animated characters, we often forget the celebrity behind the character. But illustrator Helen Morgun doesn’t forget as she draws celebrities as characters they’ve played or should play during their career, with her favorite animated characters being Disney ones.
She doesn’t just choose the what characters the celebrities play at random, Morgun thinks about which ones would best fit the star.
The illustrations are not lacking in detail and it comes as no surprise that it takes the artist six to eight hours to complete them. Morgun told Bored Panda that she’s inspired by many things, “People inspire me. Interesting stories, films, songs that you want to listen to over and over again.”
But one of her biggest inspirations is her love for Disney and her memories of the movies and characters. The first character she drew in the series was Rachel McAdams as Cinderella and after getting a great response from her followers, of which she has almost 90,000, she decided to continue drawing princesses.
And since then she’s drawn many celebrities including Maisie Williams as Coraline, Michael Ealy as Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog, Emma Stone as Jessie from Toy Story, Scarlet Johansson as Anastasia from Anastasia, Emma Watson as Anna from Frozen, and Zendaya as Lilo from Lilo and Stitch.
When deciding what to draw next, Morgun takes a poll on her Instagram and lets her fans vote. So if there’s a character you’d like to see her draw, follow her on Instagram.
