Description Found this early, unfinished version of one of my drawings (then called "Goodbye"). It's funny to see what changed and what stayed the same in it.

Here's the final version: [link]

I'm going to move this to scraps later.

I think I like the one more, but this one has some really nice details. I love his posture here - it's very expressive. I like the slight tilt of his back and head, they show perfectly the feelings.

Thank you! I agree--this one was expressive, but I liked pushing it a bit more to get the mood you see in the later one.

I like the details in this one, but the other seems much lonelier. I don't know which I prefer.

Yeah, I think I like the other one better simply because of the loneliness. It suits the mood better.

Wow! It's weird, but it really DOES look different. I don't know why. I love the other one to death, but I realized I love this one even more. It's hard to explain, but it has even more feeling in it. Wonderful... I could just stare at it all day.

i think since this one is closer to Harry, you feel more involved in the drawing. I purposely pulled us back in the newer one because I learned a trick in school about treating your drawings as if they were real people. And if a real person is having an emotional moment (nostalgia in particular), you usually pull back and let them experience it on their own without getting in their face.

Glad you like this one, though! I completely forgot about this version until I found it in my files.

i know! it's so weird. I completely changed the tone just by pulling back and getting rid of the lines and harsh shadows.
