Description
"Lord Henry looked at him. Yes, he was certainly wonderfully handsome, with his finely curved scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes, his crisp gold hair. All the candour of youth was there, as well as all youth's passionate purity. One felt that he had kept himself unspotted from the world. No wonder Basil Hallward worshipped him." - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

I finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray not too long ago and it was simply the most beautiful and romantic book I have ever read. I really wanted to draw Dorian Gray when he was innocent and pure, before his corruption, but I didn't really know how to start...how do I capture a face of beauty and youth; someone who would have the world at his hands? If Dorian were described as having dark hair and blue eyes, my ideal =w= that would have been interesting, but I think in general, blonde/golden hair does symbolize youth. The yellow book he is being handed is the one that will eventually poison him.
