Sigune's How Not To Draw Comics - Part XI

Squee! I got very nice comments on the comic recently, from a photographer and a famous architect, among others, so I was pretty flattered and not a little pleased. The gentlemen were not Potter fans, so when they looked at my stuff they referred to Snape as “the lady” (LOL), but I forgave them :D.

No news from Rufftoon yet… But on with the story!

You Are Here:
While in the library, Snape, thirsting for revenge, overhears Messrs Padfoot and Wormtail plotting a nocturnal rendez-vous with James Potter by the Whomping Willow. What Snape doesn’t know is that the two Marauders are aware of the fact that their Slytherin enemy is listening in on the conversation, thanks to Evan Rosier accidentally drawing their attention to his presence. Sirius purposefully reveals the Willow’s mechanism, counting on the fact that Snape won’t be able to resist the temptation to put his large nose into the Marauders’ affairs…


14. Flashback

Ah, page nine. I don’t think any part of the comic gave me quite as much trouble as this page, with number fourteen as a close second… For some reason (I have no idea why), I seem to have been worried about this part long before I had actually arrived there – one of my oldest sketch pages for the comic deals with the particular episode that would eventually be depicted on page nine. You can tell its age by the fact that Snape’s robes are the right size; the idea of making them too short and alluding to the poverty of his background came later :D.
