It's brilliant Lewis she looks sooo sad!

You have achieved that skeletal look Lewis. I dread to think this is what I'll look like at some point in life haha!

I always see her as Bonham-Carter so yours isn't nearly as feminine or quite as manic, I absolutely love how you have done the veil, hair and the background though.

Poor Miss Haversham....she could do with a little rouge.

Thanks for your comments, from what I can remember from the film versions she is sometimes portrayed as old, and sometimes young and glamorous. I wasn't sure about this, but I think I'll keep it. I must do an attractive female...maybe Little Nell.

I so agree with everyone, especially Linda. I'm sure I can smell the earth around her!!! Brilliant Lewis again

She looks so sad, brilliantly portrayed.

Looks like she could do with a bit of love and a good meal. I feel quite sorry for her !! Another brilliant addition to this series fo paintings.

Decided to make her look cadaverous. Originally had flames behind her at the bottom of the picture, but I've used red very sparingly thus far and it threw the balance out...so I painted it out. Not sure about this, there's always a different way to do it, I'll wait a bit. Sometimes I like things more after a little time has elapsed.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
