Rose Dawson Drawing - Titanic

[mrsmartypants]

Thanks mrsmartypants.
Yeah, I've attempted to contact Paula Payne twice before about the drawings. I used the email on her resume on IMDB but no answer as of yet. I haven't looked at Spoke.
As far as the reference photo, I think whitehammer will be able to find what I'm looking for in the movie. I'm sure the drawing was done from a still in The Accused. Even if he doesn't find the exact moment, I'm sure he could find something pretty close and I think that movie is going to be our best bet (approximate age, hairstyle, facial expression). The rest I could get off the frame of the drawing that you posted and get it pretty close to perfect.

I PMd you her contact info and website from her resume on spoke. Good luck!

Got it. Thanks.

Wow, looks nice! Who doesn't want a picture like this of Kate Winslet?

 

[Short Round]

Great job! Compliments!

 

[steffi955]

I'm excited to see the end result!

 

[Lvbolts]

Awesome stuff. My friend framed this for me years ago and stated that he got to see one of the original props of that pic he thought it was around 8-9" x 11

 

[DreamCrusher]

And done.

I'll be the first to admit, its not perfect. Fun to do though. I might draw the rest of his portfolio before trying Hannibal's cell drawings.

 

[Onkelpsycho]

Well done...

Good job, man...

 

[mrsmartypants]

Nice job!

Are you going to put up an interest thread in the JY? (hint)

 

[DreamCrusher]

Glad you both dig it. I had no idea how hard it would be to mimic another artist's drawing style. To just draw a subject in your own hand is one thing but to try to copy shading techniques and pencil strokes was tougher than I thought it would be.

Nice job!

I wouldn't even know what to charge for it man. It took just under twenty hours of sitting time to finish. Even at minimum wage the price would seem high to me. $20 Lithographs would seem the right thing to do but I think the actual media (graphite) in which its drawn would be what's desired here.

I don't know. I'll have to think about that. Maybe a trade would be an easier choice.

Wow! That is something to be proud of. Nice job!

I'd be in for a trade. :thumbsup

Well, my ultimate goal is to score a Han in Carbonite. I've been hangin' around here and coveting all the HIC WIPs and full front panel sales for a awhile now.

I'd be happy with a fiberglass front panel like the one acid burn is selling until I can build the full prop. I'll draw as many of these (and Hannibal's cell drawings) needed to accomplish it. Shoot me a PM if you think you can help.

I can't even post in the JY yet. I didn't want to spam post the forums just to get there.

 

[DreamCrusher]

I'm not going to wait on this. Clarice is next.

The final piece will be 18X22. I'll probably start a new thread for this one when the actual drawing starts.

 

[Stencil]

I think the Clarice pic is cool, but I'd love the Duomo personally. Of course, I have no Han in Carbonite so yea sorry. I do like to follow this thread and your work is great. Very cool to see what you'll do next.

 

[Tom1971]

I would love to buy a Rose and a Clarice if you decide to offer them.

 

[DreamCrusher]

Thanks msstencil. Yeah, I plan on doing the Duomo as well. I could do it from the photos available of the actual building online but it really should be of Lecter's drawing. I'll see if I can get a pic of it next month at the museum. Incidentally, I'm just saving up for the HIC.

Yeah Jameth, when I'm ready to post in the JY I'll give you a shout. I would probably offer the Clarice and Duomo as lithographs to keep the price down but I could draw 10 or so Roses by hand and offer those at a little higher price if the interest is there.

The wife's hands worked out perfectly. It's coming along.

 

[Tom1971]

Good news. Can't wait for these.

I will happily pay a little more for a hand drawn Rose, and for sure want a Clarice as well.

 

[Stencil]

I would definitely be interested in a lithograph of the Duomo, and hopefully that would help your HIC fund! Just give me a shot when you are getting it wrapped up. Hopefully my money will be ready. Thanks.

Cool!! I know the original (there were apparently 3 or 4 hand drawn by Cameron for the movie), one sold recently at Premiere Props auction and reach I think over $10K
