Artist's Comments

Technically not a portrait, it's a mask. From the Movie V for Vendetta, hence the section. I know it was originally a comic but since the reference pic of the mask i used is from the film i put it in this section.

Not very complicated, but i took it on for a number of reasons.
1) I came back from the movie having loved it! (Despite the bad reviews =p )
2) It proved to be good practice on shading and blending
3) I liked the jaunty angle and strived to orientate my drawing to suit (Discovered a nice little method using a cross drawn on tracing paper)

I think it's alright, my usual high-contrast style. It could be better though! The hair is poop :p I suppose i would improve faster if i did more drawings! O well, lol. I got bored with solid black so in the bottom right where the cloak is i did some little circles. Looks kinda cool i think!

Anyway it'll be nice to have something new on my front page!

I will be putting a watermark on this in the next week.

:bye:

I quite like the hair, y'know. I bought and read the book when I heard they were making a film, but then I never got around to actually seeing the movie.
