Description A freehand sketch from my sketchbook, of British actor Richard Armitage as Guy of Gisborne from the BBC show "Robin Hood." He is tough to draw, but I think I am going to do more drawings of him because this was FUN!!! I harbor a secret passion for Richard Armitage and I cannot suppress it anymore! LOL.

The sketch is very messy because I erased and fussed with it a lot, but it has to be done now! I don't think the drawing can sustain anymore scratching or erasures! It took something like 2-3 hours to complete, I think.

I've always liked this portrait. I think maidmelee said it best with "excuse me while I lick the screen". That and about getting all the planes of his face down so well.

"The sketch is very messy". Are you crazy?! I think this is the best portrait of HIM I have ever seen. Perfect! Let me know if you take commission: I need a very hot and tasty illustration for a very hot and tasty fanfiction...

Thanks! I keep on hearing that he'd be a wonderful Snape! Believe it or not, I haven't yet seen any of the Harry Potter films. But Alan Rickman is awesome!

I think that Rickman is awesome too, and he is my favourite actor But I think that he is to old for playing Severus.

Just wanted you to know that I posted your drawing, with a link to this page, on my Robin Hood board, the Robin Hood Fan Community:

Hi Zelda, I just wanted to tell you that I received your beautiful Guy print a couple of weeks ago. I found a 10x10 inch black frame for it. It looks wonderful installed the frame. The eye is perfect and the mouth is superb - so is everything else! I love that this is a freehand drawing. Great work! I look forward to seeing more of your art.
Thanks for having a look at my paintings too. Glad you liked them.

Thanks! I'm so glad to hear that the print turned out well.

By the way, I definitely intend to do a Guy portrait in oils. I have several reference photos printed out and ready to use. I'm not sure which one I want to start on first! LOL.
