Summary: More Art! Everybody who can draw has drawn this picture. Just call me a lemming. The first POTC picture I drew. I already want to redraw it, but here it is for your viewing satisfaction. The inimitable CJS.

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I prefer this to the original. Technically it's flabberghastingly good - the stitching on the leather belt! The contrasting textures of his hair and waistcoat! Amazing! But I like his face better than Johnny Depp's, it's something about the eyes - he looks more formidable, more serious, more genuinely *piratey*. Less like an actor, if you know what I mean. I almost feel that you've caught the character better than any picture from the film could. It's wonderful.

My mother has said the same thing. It is just a little different. And you've got it in one. It's something about the eyes. The left one is accurate, but the right one is placed just a little off. I do like the picture, but it is, as you say, a little more the character than the actor. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.
