St. John Rivers sketches

Description

I haven't been able to do much lately, since I've been really sick. But here are more sketches of St John Rivers, the chilly and zealous missionary character from "Jane Eyre." I like them better than my last drawing of him-- [link] -- now in scraps. I wanted to make him look more youthful and energetic, even though, in one friend's words, he still looks "like he has a pinecone up his bum." Ah, St John-- I find him strangely endearing.

I'm not sure who the girl behind him is. She might be Rosamund Oliver, the girl he loves from afar-- or she might be somebody else...

He's beautiful, I love it so much! There's hardly any good St. John fanart online, I'm so glad to have found this. I'm oddly fascinated by this man.:)
