New Beginning- The Joker



Inspired by comic and graphic novel illustrator Lee Bermejo, here is the drawing of the Joker i did as a practice for myself; this first photo is about 3 quarters of the way done.





A close up of the Jokers evil grin and his victims forced smile.



Me adding some of the finishing touches to the sketch.



The finished project. I did the whole sketch in graphite first and then began to go over it in ink using micron pens; the graphite allows me to add a large range of light to dark shadows and the pens were good to use for the darkest of the shadows. The whole sketch took about 10-12 hours in all to complete.
