The Joker has been around since 1940, it was illustrated by Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. My favourite is played by Joaquin Phoenix in 2019 – he played the role perfectly and managed to show a more sinister side to how we perceive The Joker, evoking raw emotion and puts the spotlight on important messages surrounding mental health. I specialise in pencil however, I wanted to portray his character so I incorporated coloured pencils which I’m not confident with but I had a lot of fun experimenting and I’m really happy with the final result.
