Description RIP Heath Ledger

A light has gone from the world with his death.

Funnily enough, I was intending on drawing him this week anyway as a basis for a picture of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Fury, but just a pic of him seemed more appropriate now. I didn't want to finish this beautifully, every piece of skin perfect, every hair defined. Somehow leaving it slightly "unfinished" just seemed right.

This is just a submission of a photograph as I haven't got access to a scanner at the moment. I'll reupload a better copy when I get home.

Pic ref used: my own screen caps of A Knight's Tale. He looked so young back then ...

Such a beautiful picture. I was so sad when i heard he died... I mean, c'mon, I thought it would be Britney Spears or some talentless pop star. He was a gifted and handsome young guy, and I will miss him.

Oh very good! I like the idea of leaving it unfinished. A life ending too early has this kind of feel too, unfinished.

*purr* So pretty. I liked him, even if he was a blond. You know me...I like 'em TD&H. But he was pretty to watch.

This is just fab. Gorgeousness. LOVE his expression and his eyes. And the little worry lines. What a lovely man....

Realy impressive.
I had only seen him in one or two movies, but I had really been struck by how beautiful he was. That's about all I knew about him. Has some light been shed on the circumstances of his death yet?

It was apparently an accidental overdose from mixing all the types of tablets he'd been given together to try and get some sleep. Or something similar. So sad.
