Here's My Card

I've been meaning to draw my own tribute of Heath Ledger as the Joker to add to the rest on dA ever since "The Dark Knight" was released. I finally got one done! Now I'm not really great at drawing people, and I especially try to avoid celebrities, but I think this came out better than I anticipated. Hooray! I particularly enjoyed adding the "HA HA HA" and "HERE'S MY CARD" with red colored pencil, which now looks purple-ish pink after I scanned it... D'oh! :wink: I hope the rest of you Joker fans out there enjoy it! ^_^

R.I.P. Heath Ledger

Mediums:
Pencil, colored pencil

Size:
8.5" x 11"

Reference:
Photo found on Google by searching the Joker.

Seriously (hehe) that was really good. Something to be proud of. I love it. Like the red pencil too.

Thank you so much, guruhamboy! *hug*

XD No, really! I haven't drawn a "real" person since... my last Batman drawing that's... two or more years old, and he's wearing a mask with his arm covering his mouth! :wink: I really am happy with the way the Joker came out. This encourages me to do more Joker drawings! ^_^ And maybe a new Batman because I have a pretty schweet shot of him with his whole body. :D

That was very detailed. Your style of drawing is just very realistic. I never got people who could do that- they make their drawings look like photographs. Very nice job!

Thank you, Blazemane! *hug* It takes time, patience and practice to do something so detailed. Almost every drawing I do is a challenge, and I like that. ^_^ I put a lot of effort in ones like this and my Beast Wars fanart.
