*** This is technically a re-posting of this illustration. I plan to do so with all of my Potter art work building up (hopefully) to having some new stuff to share there after. So if you feel like you've seen this before - you probably have. On the upside, I'm sharing it at a larger resolution and without the DeviantArt watermark on it now ***

I had fun with these drawings. The mantel was a little boring to do, but there were less anatomy issues than with Chapter 1... they're not completely gone mind you, but better. Though she's not technically seen in this book, I had fun and did a drawing of Mrs.Figg with her broken leg... it'll be fun to revisit her in Order of the Phoenix. I was happy with how Dudley and his presents turned out. Though my favorite, and for some reason it's one of my favorite drawings from the whole book, is Harry in his cupboard under the stairs at the end of the chapter. The one from the beginning - his head's a little too big; not sure what I was thinking. No the last drawing of this chapter - it's depressing, but there was a beauty to it.

Fun Fact: I mentioned this in the chapter 1 vignette drawings, but I had originally planned on painting all the vignettes. I did all of the chapter 1 scenes, but only did 1 of chapter 2... Mrs. Figg. I think I had decided not to painting anymore before doing it... but it was just too cute a scene not to see it through

Aww man, you really get how lonely and sad Harry feels here. You are amazing with emotions and facial expressions! I also love the details on his aunts dress! the pattern must have taken a while to draw.

I enjoy drawing/painting people, showing their emotions through body language and facial expressions, very much. So it's nice to hear when that's being enjoyed by someone - so thank you very much!!

Yeah, I could tell that as I was looking through your gallery! It´s so diverse and very easy to grab the emotion you wanted to display.
Oh and I also really love that you pay attention to the easily overlooked side-characters too!

Well, you are very kind to say that. Thank you so much!

The side characters were part of the reason I started doing the vignette drawings. Sure it was fun painting Harry Ron and Hermione over and over again in the paintings... but the side characters only made it into a few of the paintings. This was a nice way to give them an occasional "moment" and show a few other extra parts that don't necessarily get visual representation

Only saying the truth ;D

Yes, I can understand that. Of course the main characters are fun to draw, but they get so much attention by all the artists. And especially Harry Potter has so many interesting persons and creatures that are worth to be drawn too.
I hope more people will follow your example and pay attention to minor characters too

The mantel is a great time capsule of Dudley through out the years. I love the fanart of Harry trailing behind the Dursleys with his treat. The way that he's treasuing the moment is endearing.

Thank you so much! It's always nice to hear someone liking a piece I did that I don't care as much for... gives them a little more validity, and the mantel definitely falls in that category - LOL. Seriously, I'm glad you like it though, cause it makes me feel better about it!

Thank you very much!!! Mrs.Figg was just too much fun to draw - I look forward to illustrating her again later in the series. And I'm glad you enjoy the mantel cause it was one of those vignette drawings that wasn't exactly enthralling to work on

I'm looking forward to seeing more of her!! (although I guess it won't be until a certain "imaginary" Dementor attack

and I know the feeling, when a bit of drawing is necessary to convey something or complete a scene, but it's not especially fun to draw
