A painting (zoom in for details as tumblr eats quality) of Blackbeard from Our Flag Means Death, a show that is now one of my favorites.

My partner and one of my friends convinced me to paint Blackbeard and Stede (who is in the works) after we yelled so much about the sheer queerness and Pride and Prejudice pining in the show. I did put a curse on them though for convincing me to draw that beard.

(He's purple toned because queer symbolism in show and the contrast pencil is baby blue because that's what color the people I watched the show with associate with Stede)
