Johnny Depp

My Step Daughter is 17 today. I made this portrait of Johnny Depp for her birthday. It can be found easily on the Internet. However I changed the background and the piano. She absolutely loved her birthday gift.

I used a regular number 2, a 9b this time because I really wanted a very dark background, and a mechanical pencil. This drawing took me 20 hours to complete, mainly because the nose and chin needed extra attention.

So compare this portrait to that of my very first portraits and see the growth in my talent.

***Note from Kerry:
Shane, I think a drawing is the most personal gift you can give. I am sure your step daughter will treasure this, always.
