**UPDATED** Rescanned with a better scanning setting. Now it looks just like the original drawing...at last.

**Full view please:please:**

OK...this is the drawing that drove me nuts. I know it doesn't look that hard but it's more complicated than how it looks. For one thing I didn't have a good, clear ref to work from so I had to make up a lot of details. In the end I was so happy that didn't screw it (though if I look at it any longer I'm sure I'll see what I've missed:giggle: ). The water droplets came out better than I thought, the ref pic only gave me the white dots.:O_o:

His right hand looks blurry because it appeared this way in the ref screenshot. I believe it's off-focus due to the fact that he's moving it forwards or it's closer to the camera than th rest of the picture.:XD:

It took me a while to get the right red for the eyes. I went for the bright red at first but it looked too cartoonish. I prefered the red that didn't jump off the page but still visible. I think this red is just about right, what do you think?

Though I used a scene from the movie Dracula 2000 (with Gerard Butler) as the ref photo, my fav Dracula movie is the '92 version with Gary Oldman. However, this drawing dedicate to Count Dracula as the iconic vampire charactor in general instead of just one version specificly.

Stoker's Dracula is a masterpiece. And I, too, never knew Gerard played him :O Wouldn't mind being bitten by such a vampire, though :faint: :heart:
Amazing job, and without a detailed reference... just wow. As always. :aww:

Are you nuts? This is amazing. There's practically NOTHING wrong with this portrait! I knew you'd nail it. Didn't expect any less.

wow, great drawing, with those vains and the red color!...the only one good thing about the movie was Gerard's acting and the idea of Judas Iskariot, that was clever:)
