Heath Ledger :: Black Dog

Here he is again, ladies and gentlemen, Heath Ledger. This marks the fourth time I have drawn the man (If you count the Joker as well). I can't help it I guess, I just wish I could quit him!

Anyway, with this portrait, I set out to draw one of the better, if not best, portraits I have done yet, and I do have to admit that I am pleased with the outcome.

Normally I have only drawn by rendering shadow gradients, but this time I attempted to actually articulate textures in the skin, hair, etc. I've only tried this a few times in the past, and I do believe I am improving, but I'm probably still in need of practice. I'll keep at it! (:
