Description Rory: Amy, basic fact of our relationship is that I love you more than you love me. Which today is good news because it might just save both of our lives.
Amy: How can you say that?
Rory: Two thousand years, waiting for you outside a box. Say this isn't true. And since you know it's true, give me your arm. Amy!
Amy: Don't you dare say that to me. Don't you ever dare.
Rory: Amy, you kicked me out!
Amy: You want kids, you have always wanted kids. Ever since you were a kid. And I can't have them!
Doctor Who, Asylum of the Daleks

Karen Gillan as Amy Pond from BBC's Doctor Who.

Just the first time Moffat broke everybody's hearts this season, and I'm afraid it won't be the last.

One day I will get the hang of her hair, I swear. Karen has great hair, but somehow I can't manage to draw it properly.
I'm really happy with how her face turned out though. (Although it makes the failed hair even more frustrating. )

Done with:
× Black paper (300 g/m²)
× .5 mechanical pencil
× Derwent, Faber Castell & Prismacolor white coloured pencils
× Faber Castell & Prismacolor black coloured pencils
× Faber Castell grey coloured pencil
× Erasers

i love it, how did you manage to make the teardrop look that real?
and even though the hair in the front look a bit sketch the one in the back is really well done.
your skill in putting that much details in a blackpaper drawing is impressive and they are really moving, i think i'm going to try this tecnique, thanks

Thank you so much! Good to hear I've inspired you to try this yourself.

I don't really know how the teardrop happened? I was a little worried about it to be honest, because I've never drawn tears before. Once I started though it just came out like this and it looked good, so I stopped working on it.

Fantastic! You've made a huge progress in this technique... not that you sucked at it [hell no!], but nowadays it's woooow! The eyes are striking, realistic and so sad...

As you mentioned the hair does look a bit sketch still but that just take practice. I still have trouble with that a lot of times. The whole thing is beautiful, as Karen Gillan should be.

I find hair in general very hard to draw, but somehow it becomes 300x harder when it's Karen's hair.
Thank you!

oh my this is absolutely stunning! you're really good at this! and if it is any consolation. Her hair is just a pain, no matter how pretty it's a pain to draw. (so you're not the only one with the problem)

Thank you!
I love her hair so much, so it's doubly frustrating that I just can't work out how to draw it.

Plus that means I get to see more of your wonderful take on Amy... and that's just a bonus to all that practice

Thank yoouuu! (Though at the moment I'm still sulking about her hair so in my rating this drawing's a step down from the previous two. )

Show it. To me.
