Description A birthday gift to one of the best friend of mine ^^

we've known each other since kindegarten and she studies literature while I study art


and she loves the book Dracula

so asked me to draw my own version of him based only on what's said in the book.Β 

And this is what I came up with Β

I need to reread this book...just because.

Picture is amazing- this how you operated the light and that you stayed close to the book without all classical Dracula-look >.> This is something fresh! And could be use as illustration in the book <3

If I had this book in English I would send it to you. But I don't have ._. And I should still read Mists of Avalon. I remember ;A;!!
And this is great, something so different from usual Dracula's versions!

ONE MILLION OUT OF TEN FOR BOOK ACCURACY
I think that is THE most impressive thing, the fact that you have used your own imagination to form the Count, rather than use the clichΓ© image of him! I am a massive fan of his angular head and eyes, not to mention that AMAZING mustache!Β

wee!Β 
thank you! my friend gave me a chapter of the book to read and I based the drawing on it completely
and tried my best to avoid all the cliches

... Mustache always makes things better ;D
