07-08 sketchbook: One Day More

EDIT
I cleaned up the quality in Photoshop. I also played with the contrast, darkened some shadows, made some highlights, and made Javert's hair darker.

This is the first of the two infamous MISSING PAGES FROM THE 07-08 NOTEBOOK!

I really love this one. <3

Its the entire lead cast of Les Miserables the way I envision them to look (the play version, the book has waaaaaaay too many characters).

From the left, we have: Javert, Eponine, Grantaire, Gavroche (atop Grantaire), Enjolras, Marius Pontmercy, Cosette, Jean Valjean, and Fantine.

Coming out of the trap door: Monsieur & Madame Thenardier.

(I put Grantaire in because I really like him and his character really stands out, out of all of the other students.)

After I lined it, I went for one of those old-style ways of shading, like how the "Little Cosette" picture that became the logo for the play was shaded. I think I lost it in some places, but for the most part, I think I did a good job.

I never uploaded this because I intended to add a really cool background with the silhouettes of other revolutionaries raising their guns and flags. But, alas, I never did. And so, I figured I'd best post this as-is, or otherwise it just may never be seen. If I ever do go back and add the background, I'll be sure to update with the new one.
