(2005) 9"x12" Pencil on Paper

Well, 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!
