Very nice, indeed. Portraiture isn't easy, and you did a lovely job here.

Thank you :) I can occasionally do a good portrait if I've got a picture to go off of. On my own I usually draw in a more "cartoony" style.

You did a fantatic job! It really looks like Tom. I love the way you've captured the sadness in his eyes.

Thank you octopuspatronus December 30 2009, 18:13:45 UTC

I'm glad you think it looks like him, and I'm also glad I got that sadness right because that was what drew me to the picture in the first place. It took a while to get that part of the drawing to do what I wanted-- good to know that it payed off in the end!

I really like his profile here, nice translation from the photo!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :)

really lovely! i'm looking forward to your future posts!

Thank you. I think the next thing I draw might be either a DanRad Harry to go with this one, an animagus themed picture, or a scene from the H/D story I've been working on. Luckily I'll be bored at work all day so I'll have plenty of time to draw and might even have something done tonight.

Very, very nice. The ears, lips and eyes - so hard to draw (for me, anyway). You did an excellent job. :)

It's funny you should mention ears, lips, and eyes-- when I was in school, those were the things I doodled in the margins of my notes. That and teeth, for some reason. I had kind of a fixation on random facial features, I guess. But that might be why I can draw them well now, after so much practice.
