Artist's Comments

:jawdrop: Oh holy cow! She didn't used textured paper :faint: lol. Isn't it weird?! I felt like trying to draw on something different so I used illustration board with charcoal and pastels. I've worked with both in the past on a numerous amount of my drawings, but never used either so much on a single drawing. I'm quite proud how it turned out, considering all I used for reference was a picture I pulled up on my cell phone and the movie (Sleepy Hollow, of course). You know what I realized though, those pretty blended backgrounds that kinda look like fog/clouds are harder to do than I thought!!!! I tried but I didn't do so swell.
I love doing his hair. :thumbsup: something about that messy longer hair look on a guy is just...amazing, and really fun to draw...I guess cause you can make more mistakes and no one notices :shh:
I've been on this Sleepy Hollow kick, I guess I just get excited for halloween earlier every year...and this year all I will be able to do for it really is draw stuff since I can't put out my decor =( (I'm moving in October-Nov). And this is my favorite way to celebrate my favorite holiday. I watch it pretty much every year at midnight on halloween...I'm weird, I got my traditions. :shrug:
Well I hope you enjoy.

-Edit- I added a bigger picture but now the entire thing looks grainy =(
EDIT: Woah! I had no idea it would cause this much of a stir. I am trying to thank everyone for the favs on it, but incase I just give up, thank you!!!! I :heart: you all!

I love how you can see individual Hairs, eye lashes, and facial stubble.
This is really just great!

Man’s evolution consists in the process of changing to forms that are not of this world. Grows he in time to the formless — to live on a higher plane. Know that you must become formless before you can be one with the Light.

Aww! Thank you! The hair was so much fun to do! and the eyes. Seems difficult but in reality this was one of my more simple drawings :)

So Very Well Done! Your skill is consistently fabulous regardless of the grade/texture of paper! I think that the thin white outline works real well. It nicely complements the highlights on his face and hair and the lighter areas of the fog. I'm not a big Tim Burton fan, but I think that this movie was his best work and Depp is an artist. Burton's dark touch was perfect for this movie. Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken were well cast. Fall is my favorite time of year and (particularly around Halloween) there is magic in the air! Great subject matter and Great rendering!
