25 Days of Drawing - Day Thirteen - HERMIONE GRANGER, MINERVA McGONAGALL, and AUGUSTA LONGBOTTOM

Happy Holidays to you, my dear chienne_folle!

First, my apologies for the roughness of this sketch - I was drawing it on the flight to Florida and my computer died unexpectedly and I lost the thing. So, I recreated it as best I could in the time I had last night. Perhaps one day I will dig back into it and do justice to your delicious prompt:

After the war

Aw, it's sweet of you to bang out a drawing when you've already made one and lost it. As a pagan-leaning atheist, I find the ubiquity of the Christmas celebration hard to deal with, even though I do celebrate Christmas myself (as a cultural, not religious, holiday).

I'm glad that you enjoyed my equal-time-for-pagans prompt, and I hope you have a fabulous time in Florida!

Thank you so much, for this drawing, for taking my prompt, and for the magnificent gift to the community that is the 25 Days of Drawing! You're amazing, you know that?

P. S. -- Thanks for giving bellies to the older ladies; it's nice to see women who aren't model-thin, especially at older ages.

I celebrate xmas too, but only as an excuse to give and receive gifts :D Definitely on with equal time for pagans!

Thanks so much for your cool prompt. I actually started working on a version of it last night, so hopefully I will finish that before too long!

Bellies 4 EVAH!! :D

Hee! You're such an adorable personage! I envy the Californians who get to know you in real life. :-)

*hug*

[mywitch]

Aww what a sweet thing to say! *beams*

[gelsey]

I love this

[mywitch]

Thanks! It's got potential :D

This is gorgeous! 😃 So sad you lost your work! 😕

And of course I'm terribly biased, but for me it's improved (unlikely, but it is) by the sole prop of Augusta's calmly sipped tea. ❤️ ☕️ (I'm pretending Hermione's hair is held in place by hair and not a garland. *nods*)

[mywitch]

Thank you for that - Augusta's teacup! Yes! I'm all about that. Tryna keep it in the realm of this is more or less a performance and Augusta approves of the budding love affair between Minerva and Hermione. Cool, thank you for noticing the cup!

Why hair and not a garland? Just curious. I'm redrawing this now and if you can 'splain yo-self, I might make it hair and not a garland.....

[gingerbred]

Well, one, tea bias, always, but I liked the absence of things, just the three of them and the cup. Which, no relation to that video, just... no.) Like it was the only thing in existence. Maybe for the same reason that you chose the tea to emphasise the performance aspect instead of having a coat rack where they'd hung their robes in the background? Unless that was part of the lost work... hmm.

[mywitch]

Nope, no coat racks were lost LOL
I can't believe you mentioned that cup. I shall have nightmares.

have you seen this, btw - very funny stuffs

[iulia_linnea]

Maiden, Mother, and Crone Hogwarts' style!

[mywitch]

Yes! :D

I love these three graces so much ❤️❤️❤️

I adore images of women with body shapes that are beautiful and ordinary, imperfect yet perfect. Well done!

It is also fascinating how differently those of us who draw imagine the shapes these witches have. And yet they tend to be recognizable as themselves. Great to see different kinds of women's bodies represented in terms of body form, type, size of breasts, hips, hair, faces, age etc.etc.

❤️❤️❤️

[mywitch]

Thank you! I do have a tendency to draw idealized body types and had to consciously choose not to here because I thought it worked better. So pleased you agree!
