Description
I was walking down the street listening to my mp3 player when it suddenly hit me--I've never drawn any Sweeney Todd fanart! I was shocked to realize this. I spent about six months completely obsessed with this show, in ways I can't even explain.And so here's this...Joanna at her window. Something about it is just a little off, but I still like it a lot. And, of course, the title is taken from "Green Finch and Linnet Bird," the song that is slowly robbing me of my sanity.
Pencil-->black ink-->markers
Sweeney Todd belongs to Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. Of course.

haha, it's very Tim Burtonesque.
and I completely understand how Green Finch and Linnet Bird is robbing you of your sanity...
I played Johanna in my schools version of Sweeney Todd, and that, and Kiss Me, well I still grin like a fool when they come on on shuffle.. xD

I'd been working on it for months with my voice teacher when I drew this. It's such a difficult song.

Sweeney Todd is one of my most favorite tales and musicals!!!! Awesome drawing of Johanna! Have you drawn Sweeney? He's pretty sad 'cause he never could see his daughter...
Ah, well. I love dark humor and stuff like this! Good drawing!

I think her head might be the thing that's off. It seems to be too far out from her neck, like it's not fully connected. Otherwise, this is amazing, and I love the style. It's somewhat Burtonesque. And I love that you have Voltaire in your signature.
