The Joker 1st attempt

I have always wanted to draw heath ledgers joker. As the dark knight is my all time favourite film and heath ledgers portrayal of the joker my favourite villain. But i was to scared to,but took the jump yesterday and 24 hours and only 2 hours sleep later and it is finished.

I really, really struggled with this, and nearly gave up a number of times. I was about to throw it away twice, but i just perservered and got it finished. Although i am not 100% happy it looks much better than when i was about to give up.

The drawing was done on bristol board with Graphite mechanical and standard pencils.
