Inspired by my favorite movie of all time-- Edward Scissorhands. I used to watch this movie at least once a day every single day for over a year at one point. You can't go wrong with Johnny Depp.. I love him!

Lots of stippling for his textured skin. I chose this photo because of all the texture and I wanted to capture the sense of innocence in his eyes and his vulnerable expression.
