The above link is the artist's website. This link shows details of the image. I wonder if this kind of artwork would be improved by altering the lengths of the crayons to achieve a true 3D affect where curved surfaces would actually curve and the background would have the shortest sticks.  This image appears to be something less than 2500 crayons.

Did the apple color picker actually specify a Crayola color?

I know that Photoshop's color picker shows the numeric values of the colors. While not impossible, I'd hate to sample hundreds or thousands of pixes. That wouldn't require any specialized software.

I wonder how much the artist changed the colors. Shadows on the face are blues, greens, and purples instead of browns and dark reds.
