Description
The River Runs DeepI for one am really looking forward to meeting with River Song again in the next series of Who with Math Smith.
It's sad that this was her one and only meeting with him in his tenth incarnation, but it will be interesting to see it develop from the beginning. The timeline will probably mess with all our heads! Damn you wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff!
Anyway, I'm generally pleased with how this came out. There are a few things that I can't put my finger on that I feel a bit meh about but all in all I like it.
Many thanks the brilliant SheldonSands ([link] )
for telling me a little about the gridding technique. It really helped with the accuracy of the drawing. So thanks to her!

the hair is so well done
im still annoyed. i thought that river saw the 10th incarnation before because she says when she is first sitting down with him "Okay so where are we this time. judging by your face id say its early days for you.."
HOW DOES SHE KNOW WHAT THE 10th DOCTOR LOOKED LIKE? obviously she has met the 10th at some point but we never see her again after forest of the dead

I think with "his face" she meant his dumfound expressions Xd
Mehthinks she didn't even conciously realize that she's run in a different incarnation until the diary scenes(because og course, the Doctor has to be the weirdly dressed fellow giving the orders XD), similar to Eleven himself having a nice talk with Plastic!Rory before realizing that he can't be there. Scatterbrained little Eleven has rubbed off on her.
she goes all "You're YOUNG!" on him when she finally notices the elephant in the room. Eleven will give her pictures of all his faces so far some time in the future, so she'd be easy able to identify Ten as "the youngest she has ever seen [The Doctor]"
She also remarks on his eyes (most likely the fact that they looked younge or just 'cuz they were brown and not the dark green she's used to)
...You know that "Silence in the Library" is rather depressing to watch after you've seen Series 5? Because he doest. freakin.know. who she is!
You know that part where River says the "The Doctor might be here, but not *her* Doctor"? It's like Rose crying her eyes out sbout how Nine 'left' her, just sort of the other way around.
She must have been thinking something like "I'd never think I'd miss that bow tie"...

Aw thanks! His hair is a major pain in the ass!!!! lol!
But I love it so!
I think she knows by his eyes and the fact that he didn't know her at all! She obviously knew it was him cos of the sonic screwdriver and the techno babble!

That was one of my favorite episodes (When she first appeared, I mean). I can't wait for the next one to come out. Nice job, you got him pretty close!

This is AMAZING!!!!!! Mind you I'm confused how Matt Smith can look older than DT when he isn't & doesn't look it. Does that make sense or have I remembered it wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it was in his eyes she said. He looked older in his eyes. A maturity I think. LIke if she had looked in Hartnell's eyes he would have looked young, because technically he was!!
Timey wimey wibbly wobbly!!
And thank you very much for your kind words!

Great pic.
Yeah... too bad she didn't have more time with 10, but I look forward to her return 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks so much! Yeah it's great news! Can't wait to see her return! I was a bit iffy about her initially but I'm really intrigued now! I wonder will this be the end of any other romances for the doctor though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... it'll be nice to fill in the ' pages' of the book she kept. And I don't think this will be the end of any 'other' romances for him. He lives a *long* time so I can't see her as being his last.

Ha ha yeah but hmmmm...actually kinda not coz she's stuck with Matt Smith! Didn't even get a snog off The Doctor (and that's saying something coz he snogs almost every lassie he meets!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is very very true! Ha! How unlucky was she! I'd be furious! Her dying moments and she didn't even get a snog off the man she shared her life with!

This is really great, well done! Is she in the next series then?
Gridding technique? What's that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Well it's a bit spoilery but I think the fact is generally out there! I hope!
Gridding is where you draw a grid of squares on your source image. Then draw the same grids on your drawing page. It helps to keep the drawing accurate! As I learned!!

Oh so not seen anything suggesting it?
Ah thought so. Might have to actually try that sometime. I struggle with proportion when trying to draw traditionally D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's great for proportion! My big thing was noses, they were always too big or small and this helps!
As for River..
*SPOILER ALERT*
There have been photos of her on set and she's in the trailer for the new series!
