Here's an illustration I did yesterday of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands. Like my Kill Bill illustration, I did the outlines and colors in Illustrator and the shading in Photoshop. In all, it took me about two and a half hours.
Edward Scissorhands has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven't seen it recently, you should really check it out again. Considering that he's covered in makeup and has very few lines of dialogue, Johnny Depp gives an incredibly funny, poignant and heartbreaking performance. I've often thought that Depp would have been right at home in the age of silent movies. Some of his quirkiest characters, like Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka and Captain Jack Sparrow, rely on a very physical, almost ballet style of acting, topped off with broad reaction shots and double-takes. Even with the sound turned off, his performances are always interesting to watch. And yes, you're right - for a straight guy, I do think I have a small crush on Johnny Depp.
In any case, here are the source images I used for the illustration:
