Fred Abberline

Johnny Depp as inspector Fred Abberline in the film "From hell"

Well, this is a drawing I finished this morning. I wanted to make something different, that's why I've chosen these pictures (yes, I used two as reference )...the pose he had is quite unusual for a portrait, at least it was for me, and I wondered if I could be able to copy it. Look at it and tell me what you think about it.
I always begin drawing the left upper part and continue with it up to the right inferior side but in this case I did it differently. As you can see in the "step by step" ( [link] ) I wanted to see how it could be drawing the shadows bright in the beggining and then darken them gradually.
I used two images as reference because I wasn't able to see the details in the main one(and I don't have enough imagination to create them ). This is the photo my drawing is based [link] ... and the following is the one that helped me to see the details [link] . That's why you may notice my drawing have the face of the first one but the eyes of the second pic ( they're looking at another direction somehow )
If you want to see the details on the face, just click here [link]

Lots of joy and pleasure drawing this handsome man that I'm so in love with!
