Drew this yesterday. Was good to get drawing again. I used a Gary Oldman photo for reference. Damn that man has long eyelashes and such pretty eyes.

ohhhhh, sirius is gorgeous!!! ^_^

i really like the perspective of the trio pic, love the way ron's hand is extended out to him.

[kath_ballantyne]

Thankyou hon.
Sirius is all ready for you to shave him *nods*
Or watch Remus do it for you *g*

the foreshortning in the trio pic was a bitch but I like how it turned out. I spent ages trying to find a photo reference of a hand that I could use. I ended up finding something.
I wanted to show things through Harry's eyes and to amke you feel like you were there.
*shrug* I was also then going to show them together but I didn't make that.

Ah well. I got it done at least. I'm about to fall asleep too so just in time.
Today was the first day I felt up to working on it again and thankfully I was able to finish it as it's due by tomorrow.

*hugs*

Thankyou
I'm trying out a few different styles of drawing.

[plotbunniofdoom]

That's very nice. I like the style you've drawn it in. The simple lines seem to suit him somehow.

[kath_ballantyne]

Thankyou. *hugs*
Yes, I was pleased with how well this sat. I've been trying a few different styles of late but this one just cried out for simple.

Glad you like it. I hadn't drawn enough of Sirius.

If I ever get over my backlog I have a couple of others I want to do of him.

[kath_ballantyne]

Thankyou hon.
I love Sirius but I haven't drawn him much at all.
the facial hair was a challenge though.

Oh, I love Sirius. His eyes and his mouth are so perfect.

[kath_ballantyne]

oh thankyou.
it's been a while since I've been able to draw detailed eyes in black and white. I love doing it.

As for his mouth, I was trying out some advice given to me and something I've seen on quite a few drawings.
I had to make the top lip darker and less defined than I would in a woman.

*G* I was trying to draw him and still make him look like a man.
