Eyes on the Horizon

After spending four days almost solidly working on this, I've finally finished . This was my second time drawing realistically, my first time drawing realistically in colour and my first time drawing realistically digitally. All of that added to a more complex position (kissing is a lot harder to draw than just standing next to each other DX) and it equals a very. long. time.

EDIT: Ironically, I pushed myself to the limit with this and traced none of it, like all of my other DeviantART work, - even the writing I had to copy and paste many times, manually adjusting the size and placement on the wave, yet in my actual art class, we're currently making self-portraits and as we were given the option of tracing our photos to get the proportions right, I just gave in and traced along with everyone else to save time DX - nooooooo. Oh well, I suppose.

I love Pirates of the Caribbean ! And I love Will and Elizabeth . The writing on the wave says 'Keep a weather eye on the horizon.', which is a quote used in both the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean by Will Turner, I believe .
