UPDATE: Some have charged the image is simply a photograph; the company whose software Lambert used, Procreate, responded that "the controversy prompted us to check the source file for ourselves, and after analysis we were able to verify that what we are seeing, is the real deal." The debate continues, and Procreate didn't immediately respond to an email asking for technical support for its claim.

One photo expert has disputed that it is a finger painting, stating it was merely photoshopped from a picture of Morgan.

Although another photo expert has told BuzzFeed he thinks it does look real, although pointed out that the artist was most likely heavily referencing from a photograph or he's basically painting over a photograph. The edit of the video could remove that step in the process. A photo we believe to be this reference piece is shown below.
