------------------------------------------------
"Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you."
"Which do you mean?" and turning round he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said: "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt ME; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me."


Jane Austen - "Pride and prejudice"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can guess I've red the book recently and really enjoyed it - I'm a sucker for this kind of couples (just like Sophie and Howell from Diana Wynne - Jones' novel). They're adorable, aren't they? And I tell you, when you age you become more and more sentimental.

It supposed to be a simple sketch, but as you can see, I went a bit overboard. It's not perfect (damn, I should be learning for my exams actually...), but I hope, you'll like it

EDIT (24.02.2008) :Now I can say, I'm fond of the result (however, I still don't like this picture, it's so blah!). And to think, I've always thought there's something wrong with people who actually can paint in PS...

This is amazing! I simply LOVE it! I could picture this over a mantelpiece in an enormous canvas at Pemberley!

Darcy's posture and height is excellent, and he looks a bit like Richard Armitage, which is HOT! I love the way he's looking at her with THOSE eyes... and his somewhat tousled hair of his. His profile is so handsome it makes me swoon!

Elizabeth is gorgeous, although her mouth is a little off for me. The detail of the dress is stunning and makes her look so delicate and feminine. Her eyes... Good Lord, you gave an illustrated definition of "fine eyes" really well.

It's just lovely and impressive. A capital work!

I am very astonished that you donΒ΄t like this your picture... itΒ΄s beautiful! And I think you got the characters quite right, honest and very much to the authorΒ΄s intensions. Not just like the Hollywood movie from 1941 (I hope the year is correct) with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier... although, well, a bit Olivier is in the manΒ΄s face. But thatΒ΄s not bad, not at all!
I love your style and your illustrations - thank you for sharing your art with me.

This is gorgeous, and also my favorite love story ever I read it for the first time last summer. I keep wanting to read other Jane Austen novels, but every time I think about it, I just want to read P&P again lol. I've read it three times so far And I absolutely LOVE your Darcy. Perfect.

Aleatoire09 [2011-01-07 19:24:20 +0000 UTC]

I think the reason you don't like it coloured is because the mistakes in the chin and her left eye are more obvious - well, to me anyways. If you spent a little time shaping her chin, and drawing up the bottom lashes on that left eye, maybe making the iris a little smaller to match the other eye, this painting would be pretty much perfect! Having said that, it's a beautiful piece: I adore the softness of your colouring, their hair, and Mr. Darcy's superb profile. So it's still a fave for me!

i take art courses in school so i know when i say this is amazing. its almost like im there, in another time, with these two. its so magical... almost alive. Darcy looks painfully handsome. But no offence it seems as if you didn't focus too well on the jaw structure of Lizzie, what i mean is her chin doesn't seem like its proportional with the rest of her face. she has prettiness but not classic beauty
