Description
(2005) 9"x12" Pencil on PaperWell, seems like there's only one publicity photo of our favorite wizard so far, that has made the rounds, everything else is rather blurry screencaps...
This one had me stumped for a while as the lighting of the whole piece was absolutely mean. Harsh spotlight from above his right temple, another below his left jaw. So you get this very pronounced shadow of his nose over his eye and a general shaded zone running diagonally across his face. I really didn't think it could be done in pencil until I tried it, and even then I was fully prepared to toss the drawing half-way through. Instead he turned out to be gorgeous as ever with a lovely demonic streak due to the crazy stage-lighting.
Anyway, nice study in hair, skin and fur, and of course how cool is it that his two snakey-pins are actually an interlocking cloak clasp!

ROFL! I hadn't seen that yet. That is so funny! Draco really does look all star-struck until his Dad pokes him back to reality!

You've done an amazing job on this drawing; incredible texture to the fur on his cloak, and the shadow
cast across his face. Beautiful!

It was such a cool reference picture, but the cross shadow on his face from two strong light sources really kicked my butt (and taught me a lot!)

The two strong lights on this image and the shadows they caused may have
kicked your butt, but by the end result it is obvious you had the last laugh.
It was beautifully done!

Das Foto war echt kompliziert, weil er zwei Lichtquellen auf dem Gesicht hat, und die Schatten in entgegengesetzte Richtungen gehen. Ich hab' ganz schoen geschwitzt beim Zeichnen - grins!

Thank you! The lighting was really tricky, but I think I got his half-nervous, half-pissed-off expression...

this is incredible portrait. I am wondering how you did mufler n coat with so beautiful details n very soft shading of the face. it's too gorgeous!

Thanks very much! I use HB and B2 graphite pencils, that way you can work very detailed with the light part of the grey spectrum and also have deep and rich blacks which makes for nice contrast.

Are you selftaught or have you been going / are going in art school or something?

Thanks very much! No formal training, really, but my Mum was an art teacher at school, so tons of practice and encouragement as a kid.

Ooooh, now out of all the portraits of this chap you have done I reckon this is the best. The intense lighting effect really works very well and must have been a bugger to get right.
