Title: Let's put a smile on that face!
Name: Mariam Zakarian
Country: Denmark
Software: Photoshop

I suppose no introduction's necessary, but just for the sake of clarity: This is a portrait of The Joker.

I watched The Dark Knight last night and got inspired to do this, so I started immediately when I woke up this morning.

Usually I have a somewhat clean style of painting/drawing, but I felt a bit of chaos would be appropriate for this one.




Time: 2-3 hours max

References: none or several, depending on how you count. This is not based on any specific photos. I had the image in my head but I looked at about 25 different photos of Heath Ledger(also in other roles than the Joker) to figure out his face correctly.

Tools: Photoshop CS3 + Wacom Volito2 tablet
Brushes: 1, I think it was a charcoal something
Layers: 1

The original is about 5-6 times bigger.

Thank you :) I'm glad you think so. I didn't see anything in your gallery, is it me who can't figure out where to find your stuff? Have you finished your models yet? :)

Nice one! I like the expression in his face very much. You managed to put quite some personality in this portrait.
