Description
* Or, Waaaay Too Many Characters to Draw Them AllPen
June 2013
Continuing my Summer of Austen reading, it was time to re-read her masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice, published 1813 (review here ). This one had SO many characters, I just had to narrow it down purely for space! But I really like how a lot of these turned out, especially Bingley and Lizzy and Collins. Darcy was driving me crazy at first, but I think he turned out all right. (Incidentally, it was difficult to get the A&E cast out of my head while I was reading/drawing, so many of them are just so perfect and so ingrained in my brain as their characters.) Such a brilliant story! And plenty of Miss Bennets to go around.

Well, I now know the whole story, and the characters are pretty awesome. Sadly, I haven't seen the A&E version, so I'm not fully sure who is who....
Buuuut as an aside, there was another Pride and Prejudice retelling recently that won an Emmy. The first Emmy given to an internet blog. check it out on youtube here:

Yeah, mine aren't really based on the A&E actors, more like how I pictured them while reading, which on occasion just happened to match the actors they picked for that movie version (which you should definitely watch!).
I have heard of that Lizzie Bennet series, but haven't had much time or interest to watch it all. Maybe I will one of these days, thanks for the recommendation!

I didn't actually say so, but I really am always a fan of your work, I'm not just using this as an excuse to be an advertising jerk. >.>

Thank you so much! I do a lot of drawings in pen, so I like to try to get different effects and line quality. I'm glad you like it!

Awesome, you can get a lot of expression with just lines and a little shading.

My favourite book! Great work on it! I love Lizzie's expression. She was my childhood idol since I was like 12. I'm so happy you drew them. ^^

You always impress me but especially with this. I would've never guessed ro find such a nice fanart on it.

Thank you! It doesn't seem to have a LOT of fanart, though there's maybe more than I would have guessed on here, ha ha. Thanks again.

Wonderful! You drew this at just the right time! After discovering the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube, I am in a huge Austen kick!

I actually watched a few minutes of that for the first time the other day too! It didn't really grab me enough to keep watching, but it seemed pretty interesting. Thanks!

Love these expressions! Lizzy's expression is spot on. And I really like Caroline's hair.

Thank you! Lizzy's such a great character, I wanted to make sure to get her expression right. And it was fun to play with different hairstyles.

lovely sketches! strongly dislike the book though :T. I don't know why, you'd think I'd like it, being a girl and all XD

Thank you! That's too bad, I really enjoyed it, and I'm a guy! I think it's actually great for anyone, regardless of sex.

I really love your period drawings. You capture the look well.

Thanks! It helps to watch great movie adaptations to get a good idea of the costumes of the time. Then the challenge is to make them all look unique, especially the men, ha ha.

I can understand that, aside from colors, mens clothing from that era can be pretty similar...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, with minor variations based on class or occupation and stuff. It really makes you try to focus on their faces and make them as unique as possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And that can be very helpful, makes you have to do unique facial features.

Oh my goodness I just watched this movie just now. It's one of my favorite. I hope I can read the book one day and I think you drew each character wonderfully
