I can't believe I finally finished this baby! This is by FAR the most time I've ever spent on a drawing... It took so long, I lost track, but I'm guessing about 20 hrs total.
Graphite on Bristol Board (vellum finish) 11x14 inches 8B - 2H graphite pencils Cotton balls, q-tips & tortillions for blending. I used Photoshop to add the red.
The character of Sweeney Todd has been around since at least the 1800's and has appeared in many fictional works, plays, movies, etc.
Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler created the musical "Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" in the 70s. It has run several times and won several Tony Awards.
Tim Burton directed the big screen version which opens in the US later this month and stars Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett who both sing in their roles.
I'm still unclear who owns the copyright on the Sweeney Todd character as he has been around a long long time, but the movie and therefore Johnny Depp's image above I assume is copyright Warner Brothers and/or Dreamworks.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
