Will Turner for lilhazelstarby `AreteEirene

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

Merry Christmas =lilhazelstar!

I totally cheated and signed up for Secret Santas over at #DisneyDreamers under my stock site. So I guess I should post this from there but I don't post my fanart on my stock site, so here it is.

I did a blind pick for my Santa gift just like everyone else, so I was all

yay I picked someone I knew!

Among the things =lilhazelstar listed as faves were "Anything Pirates" and "Will Turner". As I had never drawn Will before, I figured I'd try him this time.

I hope she likes it.

Details:

Size: 11 x 14 inches
Time: About 4 hours
Materials: 100 lb Bristol board paper, 4B condensed black charcoal stick, 2B 4B and 6B charcoal pencils, white condensed charcoal stick, white charcoal pencil, medium black vine charcoal, kneaded rubber eraser, white pearl plastic eraser, fingers for blending, Lava brand soap for clean up
Method: Charcoal Reduction

Notes: I used a screencap from Dead Man's Chest (I think). He was quite scruffy in the screencap but somehow he ended up all clean and suave looking in my version. I did not do that on purpose. There were two light sources on the original, a bright one to the left (a fire, I think) and a softer one to the right (candles?).
I'm actually pretty happy with this one. He doesn't look exactly like Orlando Bloom but I think (hope) he still looks like a cartoon version of Will.
Piece is photographed and unfixed. Once it's covered in fixative it will darken significantly.
I don't like the ear so much but I swear it measures out to the original (this is 1.5x the size of my printed ref). So whatever. There's some scratches on the paper from the charcoal sticks; they seem to always do that. It might be my old as dirt art table. I really fought with the eyes.

how is it that i always miss theses secret santa things?

anyways...its easily recognized as will. You did a nice job on the face structure and the slight wrinkles on his forehead.

I don't know.

If we do it next year should I just note you directly?

I tried to stick as best I could with the ref I had. The forehead wrinkles were so prominent I just had to include them.
