Red - A World About to Dawn

Description

I'd been missing my textured brushes, so I got out a new one to experiment with. The resulting doodle soon became a full-fledged fiery Enjolras. What can I say? It needed to happen, I suppose. 

This likeness was inspired by his description in the book and also, a bit, by Michelangelo's David.

Enjolras was a charming young man, capable of being terrifying. He was angelically beautiful. . . . He had deep-set eyes, slightly red eyelids, a thick lower lip that could easily turn disdainful, a high forehead. . . . Already a man, he seemed still to be a child. He was twenty-two years old but he looked seventeen. Had some grisette... clapped eyes on that page-boy's neck, those long blond eyelashes, those blue eyes, that wild hair flying in the wind, those rosy cheeks, those fresh young lips, those exquisite teeth, and felt a violent stab of hunger for all that golden glow, and had she been bold enough to try and thrust her beauty on Enjolras, she would have promptly been shot a withering look from out of an unknowable abyss that would have taught her not to confuse the gallant cherubs of Beaumarchais with the awesome cherubim of Ezekiel.
--"Friends of the ABC", Les Miserables

Bit of a text wall, I'm sorry. Such a pretty revolutionary boy.

Les Miserables belongs to Victor Hugo.
The brush, with which I'm very satisfied, is by ~Kecky - fav.me/d4su4qd.
