Art: So Tired x3 (G)

[sigune]

I was catching up on the last three chapters of _grainne_'s intriguing story Insidious last Tuesday and found myself once more totally absorbed in it. It's utterly brilliant and I'm in love with it. Unfortunately I am the lousiest reviewer ever, so, um, I tend to fail abysmally at letting _grainne_ know 1) that I am reading the story avidly; and 2) how and why I think it so wonderful and clever and aesthetically pleasing and stuff.

But - the story's depiction of Snape inspired me to do pictures, three slight variations on one theme, and I lay them at _grainne_'s feet as a humble sacrifice to the genius of her Snapefic. *bows reverently*

All rated G, and no warnings.




(I'm not so happy with this one, but I do like the dark washes. It's not bad, perhaps, but it's not what I wanted it to be.)





(I like this one better. I would, wouldn't I, as it's monochrome... :P It was painted right after the first one and without any pencil sketch. I'm happy with the brushwork.)





(Playing with my new toys: a Koh-i-Noor art set. The result is my first ever charcoal picture :-). This is charcoal + black pencil + progresso pencil. It was purely done for the lines around the eyes, actually...)

I'm amazed at how you can put so much expression into a few brush strokes. I am truly awed.

Thanks a lot! I don't think I would have been able to do it if I hadn't had the experience of the first one... I did them within minutes of each other.

I'm swooning at your Snape in May... *swoons*
