Description

* This piece is my entry to DRAWN TO A MOMENT contest by =Diamond4girl [link] *

phewwww. It took me FOREVER. (or almost 2 months, but it's close enough)

The scene is from "Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End", one of my all time favourites. I decided to draw Will And Elizabeth, before Will sails away... I just love this couple :love:
(I know, I know, a PotC fanart is not the same thing without Jack Sparrow, but I kinda decided that he has already been drawn enough times. ;))

I'm very very happy with the way it turned out. Drawing from the movie still wasn't that easy (I'm used to huge references... :XD:).
Maybe the likeness is not 100% right (damn!! Keira has such tricky face!), but I think I did well on contrast (I've always had problem with that), and I also tried doing some skin textures (again, not perfect but nothing is :D).

Oh, and guess what was the worst part? SCANNING IT. It's A3 size and my scanner is only A4, so I scanned it in 3 parts and it took me ages to get everything right. So glad I'm done with that ;D

I honestly have no idea how much time I spent on it (1.5 months on and off, but can't say how many hours...)
A3 paper
graphite pencils from B to 8B

critiques are very welcome (but other comments would be awesome as well :D)

Wow, I loved this movie, and you sketched out this scene really well, totally recognizable. I like how you split it into three panels. The first panel, her expression seems a little odd.. but still done pretty well. It's mainly the proportions. The shading and everything else is great. The second and third panels are better. You draw Orlando Bloom well <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)"/> For the second panel, her hair seems a little 'flat'. Instead of just shading strands of hair, try shading in 'clumps'. But the rest is all really nice. Good job! 2 months is a long time to work on one thing!
