Artist's Comments

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
--Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice

Like the host of other people, Mr. Darcy remains one of my favorite literary characters. While I could never quite envision Colin Firth as Darcy, I do feel that Matthew Macfadyen did him justice. For those of you unfamiliar with the plot and characters, I highly recommend reading Pride & Prejudice. Naturally, the language and behavior is quite a shift from today, but there is good reason why the book is widely considered the most romantic story of all time.

Various pencils, blending stump, itty-bitty low res reference pic that began to make my eyes bleed...

UPDATE: If you like this, please take a look at a much newer Darcy work of mine [link] . I think it is the superior piece of fan art, but I'll let you decide. :)

This is a beautiful drawing.
Pride and Prejudice is indeed a wonderful story!
Mr. Darcy is surely one of the most precious of literary characters.
Good work!

Lovely shading and fine details. The tones and contrast are very good.

Thank you! I was afraid the the contrast might be too extreme, but I honestly had no idea what to make of the background except for leaving it white.

Once again, you capture the emotion of your subject! This is one of your best drawings of a person!
