A Brief Encounter by *RTyson shows how an artist's ability is able to capture a moment in time. This delightful pencil piece really does show the hours and hours of love and work that went into creating it, and I can only imagine the artist's face when the piece was finally finished. Beautiful work!

Description

Full size print available...email me at wayneruth2000@yahoo.co.uk or note me via dA if you're interested in purchasing.

So it's finished ( probably ) ...the photo I've taken of it isn't the best, but the light isn't so good now so I'll have to try taking another some other time.

This is the scene from the 1940's film Brief Encounter where the two main characters, Laura Jesson and Dr Alec Harvey played by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, first meet and he removes a piece of grit from her eye

Stats:

A3 Bristol Board (so a bit smaller than my usual size)
4H, H, HB, B, 5B & 8B wooded pencils
HB, B, 2B, 3B & 4B 0.5 mechanical pencils
cotton buds
Kneadable eraser

I think it took me between 50 & 60 hours, but I'm not so sure because I put it aside for 9 months. :)

EDIT : I've updated the image for a scanned one, it's a bit brighter and I think more in focus too.
Also I've added a couple of close-ups in my scraps [link] and [link]

I cannot tell you how wonderful this is. Not only the artwork, but the fact it's fan art of such a wonderful movie, and that it got a Daily Deviation, at that.

Rock on.
