Description
WB Product Art, Hogwarts Express, HARRY POTTER. Pencil. I did a double-take when my art director approached me with this assignment, but he wasn't kidding. After a cold splash of water on my face, I found my resolve. As I looked over the reference photo, I didn't want to back down from it, thinking that it was too much work, or that I should find another way to solve the problem. So I buckled down, and broke out all my knowledge of interpretive rendering. 12 years later, I emerged from my coma. lol The rest was a matter for the poor inker.Related content

For many years I have seen these wonderful artworks in coloring books, posters, shirts, etc merchandise and now I finally know who created these fantastic works. Thanks for this and I also must say the work here is phenomenal! Both Realism and Animated. I adore each of these images, thanks for bringing Hogwarts and Harry to life

British-based, mostly - the LMS, Great Western, London & North Eastern...a little of everything, personally

Well, a little...but then I've never set foot on a proper "Railroad" as of yet. However a few friends of mine did visit Colorado and checked out the Railroad Museum Roundhouse. Very impressed they were, with photos a-plenty.

What are some of your favorite films that prominently feature railroad action besides the Potter series? "Murder on the Orient Express?"

Quite a few - "The Titfield Thunderbolt", "The Railway Children", "Oh! Mr Porter", "The Train" (1964), "The Wrecker" (1929), "Old No. 587: The Great Train Robbery", "The Ghost Train" (1941). Some of these I haven't seen in a while, although a few I DO have on DVD to relax my weary VHS cassettes.

Someone who understands the origins of the word "mecha". Excellent inkwork on one of the most famous trains in movies and kids literature.

Amazing work, the technicality of this drawing must have required lots of hard work! and time!
Just one thing though, is the top half of the picture finished? It is not as detailed as the lower half and uses sketchy lines rather than the detailed penciling.

In order to properly convey the vast distance of the background, as seen in the reference photo, it was necessary to keep the lines lighter in weight and detail. The trees, fields, and mountains are much farther away. If this was rendered in color, the same principle would apply, using hues less rich and radiant in the background, making the foreground pop out in contrast. This is true-to-life. As you gaze into great distances outside, the haze of light and air gradually obscures objects very far away.
