Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd

The more I look at it, the more I have come to think that this is my best work yet. I am really proud of it.

This is well done. I like the shading....I unfortunatly was not a huge fan of the movie though....but I thought Johnny Depp was good though.

I like this much better than Viggo Mortenson. Nice boot fade.

Something to keep in mind is your light source, and how it affects the shading of the entire body. You carried the shading from the trousers up to the face pretty good. But based on the face shading and trouser leg shading, the shoulder area of the vest and where the shirt sleeve enters the vest, should probably be shaded a bit more.

The trick is to apply one point perspective from the light source (imagined off the paper). Try to imagine where you want the light source, then you can use a piece of string and pin it from where you imagine the light source is, to the figure you just drew in rough, and imagine how that light will strike him at all points, and where the light will be partially or fully blocked.

Then there are cast shadows, using the same perspective techniques, only sometimes you need two point perspective to make it look right.

Yes, I agree, Viggo Mortenson is not my favorite drawing by far. His hair turned out, in a word, terrible. This is one of my better drawing I think.

Yes but what about light sources? No, no, I am not trying to put you on the spot. Just a gentle reminder for the future. Perspective, light, and shadow becomes more and more important as you advance in skill.
