A portrait of Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) from the 1993 film "The Secret Garden" done in charcoal and chalk, 14x17 The main character (in this portrait) is a young girl, hence the odd proportions.
This took about 20 hours, it was long. Spaced out over 5 days, it was quite intensive. I really hope you like it. The hat was hell to draw, I will never draw wool again. I wanted to have a picture with Mary in it though because I loved the hat in the movie. Its bright red and adorable.
If youve never seen the film I highly recommend it, its the most beautiful movie Ive ever seen. They have it on youtube, but its best on an actual tv screen.
Better picture coming soon hopefully
may 28, 2009 edit: much better photo here. I also added some stray hair strands on the left side of her hair because before it wasnt as messy as the right side.
I really, really adore this. Secret Garden has always been one of my favorite movies growing up. Mary was so pretty too and you really did a masterful job capturing her personality.
I loved her hat too, . I can see how difficult that must of been to replicate, but you did so well. Beautiful.
