Catching-up post

Gosh. I completely forgot to share my last Inktobers... There was a reason - like, I have been working rather hard on my Christmas card :p. Which is done now. I'll make a separate post for it and, you know, ask who wants one. But here are my very Potter Inktobers. Harry and Dumbledore were Tumblr requests.


(This is so me - I started drawing rather randomly on the page and so the broomstick didn't fit on anymore. *sigh* Some friends have been urging me to become a semi-professional artist, but I think you can see why I am not really convinced myself :p.)


(Dumbles deserves a better picture. But at least I gave him nice hair.)


(This is actually A4 size, so it took me more time to finish than is practical for an Inktober. But I had such fun with it. Bearded Snape has become quite dear to me. You can tell how relaxed he is by the fact that you can see BITS OF SKIN. Originally there wasn't an undershirt, but I was shocked at quite how exposed he looked, so I drew it on. I mean, there are points of relaxation that he just won't cross :p...

My two fest entries aren't done yet. Because I want too much. I'm working on them.

You mean you aren't a professional artist? I always thought you were. Your talent is amazing, and I would pay dearly for a set of Potterbooks illustrated by you.

Harry is great. And Dumbledore - the look, the eyes. And those puff sleeves are so totally him. Your drawing shows both the flamboyant public figure and the hidden private man.

I'm very flattered, but no, I am certainly not a professional artist. I'm just someone who never stopped drawing since childhood (- I don't understand why most people do :D). At the moment, I'm taking evening classes in art school (finally!) to try and improve, but I don't think I have what it takes to become a pro. That said, I would certainly love to illustrate the Potter books ;-)... For fun!

Dumbledore's eccentricity deserves a full-length portrait... But I couldn't get it to work just then...

Love them! I think you could be professional.

God bless you for this. You made my day, and I really needed that.
