Joker

Painting of Heath Ledger as the Joker in deep shadows

Portrait of Heath Ledger as the Joker from Dark Knight. It’s a fantastic movie, just shy of perfect, and his portrayal was magnificent. I don’t think I’ve seen a more clear representation of that character.

I really like how this painting turned out, with all the funky textures and stark lighting. I went through some false starts in the beginning, trying to jump to painting before I had the sketch fully settled, but once I got that in place, it really clicked.
