Peter Hong - Harry Potter

Am I the only one who thinks Daniel Radcliffe looks/acts like an owl? Presenting... Harry Hooter!

Adam Heine - Harry Potter

Practicing my watercolor. I'm still just making it up as I go, basically.

It's funny...I literally just saw these movies, maybe...a couple months ago? I know...I know. I'm way late to the party. But watching the second one, Dobby instantly struck me as a bit of a...well, a bit of a wanna be Gollum. So sadly, is appears mine leans more in a Lord of the Rings direction than a Harry Potter direction.

In my original composition, I had Harry in here too, but when I was about 65% done inking Dobby I realized that it kind of didn't need him. Here's that initial pencil sketch if curious.

Meanwhile, as movie executives try to find ways to continue the franchise...

Charles Eubanks - Harry Potter

I realized after it was too late that I totally stole Andy's composition!  Gah!  Sorry, Andy!

Anyway, this was all done digitally, but I started with the pencil sketch below to figure out the character.  I started reading the books before the movies came out, and always pictured Harry's scar being more pronounced, like his head was practically split open.  I imagined it like a crack, growing larger and disappearing below the hair line.  I think my pencil drawing does the better job capturing what I was after.

We've been reading Sorcerer's Stone to the kids before bed, and they're loving it!  They've never seen the movies, so this is what Andy came up with based on the book's description.

Topic for 2/6 to 2/12

Do do do do do do do do do do GREAT DRAWINGS! (Batman theme song music anyone? No? Awww.) Again, one of the greatest parts of this blog is seeing all the different interpretations of such a universal subject (yes, Batman is universal to me.) Are you ready for another pop culture goodness challenge? How about:

HARRY POTTER!

I was soooo happy when Charles suggested this one (so I didn't have to and betray the fact that I have sketchbooks over ten years old FILLED with Harry Potter fan art. Judge all you want.) Good luck, Anthdrawlogians! (Or should I say "Remember to draw using your Felix Felicus potion!" Er, nope. I crossed a nerd line. I'm just gonna say good luck.)

As always, please feel free to post any ideas for new topics in the comments!
