A full body illustration of the character Eric Draven from The Crow, as in the 1994 movie, played by Brandon Lee.
The illustration is in black and white. Eric is wearing a black long sleeve shirt, which is torn on the chest and shoulder, as well as black pants, black combat boots, and black tape around his torso, forearms and hands (some around his fingers, including the one where a wedding ring would be). He is also wearing a small wedding ring on a necklace around his neck. His hair is black, shoulder length, and covering part of his face, painted with the iconic black and white crow makeup (extended black lips on a smile, eyes surrounded in black in diamond shapes, extending to his forehead and cheeks). His expression is serious, eyes having a wet look.
He is crouched, almost as if perched like a bird, on a tombstone - you can only see its upper part, but it reads "Shelly Webster". He has his hands crossed over the top of the tombstone, almost touching her name.
The background is black, while he and the tombstone are surrounded in white, with light rain falling over him and the grave. Behind him, there are a few strokes of the brush, very faint and low opacity, which remind of bird's wings.
(for the rain, I observed as reference an original art made by James O'Barr, because I've never really figured out how to draw rain without looking like a mess and, voilà, it worked)

(I forgot to add that 🫠)
My 1st art on a tablet was of The Crow - been some time I don't work on one and this month is fitting for it. @trueref.bsky.social has a great reference challenge for Oct, which I used here 😉
