Artist's Comments

This is my version of the portrait of johnny depp as captain jack from pirates of the caribbean :)

FINALLY! its finished after about 18months, this was supposed to be my girlfriends christmas present 2 christmas' ago (yup going to hell) but now im done and ill be framing it for her asap :) shes made up with it hehe.

It took about 50 - 60 hours in total to do all the fiddly bits.

The final scan was in 3 parts and then chopped together in photoshop :/ so its not as good as in real life =(

Was done on crappy printer paper too as i was a bit of a novice in presentation of drawings when i started this. I used mech pencils from F to 4B and 0.3mm to 0.5mm and some cotton wool buds for smoothing.


Enjoy all comments and crits welcome!

Better be careful, I know many girls who'd rob your house for this treasure :giggle:

Wonderfully detailed as usual, the sword's my favourite bit!

Also, what do you use for intense blacks on bigger surfaces, such as backgrounds? Because I can't rid myself of the dreaded graphite reflection :sadangel:

hey thanks! hehe ill lock it up safe :P

well on this drawing i used graphite and there is a shine on it but when i scanned it it wasnt there cus i adjusted the levels back to how it should be with the scan software so maybe try that?? i also have a mars lumograph pencil which is PURE black its really weird to use there is loads of resistance to it :| but any way thanks for the comment hope it helps!
