Draw

I've been trying to get into drawing again lately. The other day I started to draw an eye (the one on your right), but then the other suddenly found it's inspiration in Mrs Figg (played by Kathryn Hunter), whom I just saw on my computer screen. I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at that point. My attempt at drawing a nose for this mismatched face turned out so bad that I had to put it out of it's misery all together. Then I ended up writing a quote across it that I suddenly remembered from photography class.



Then the next day, I and a friend of mine watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and I drew another one of the characters. This time it was one of the Weasley-twins, or more precisely James Phelps, or so who ever posted the picture I used claims. I personally thinks it looks a bit more like Oliver Phelps, but I can't really say for sure. Yet again the eyes turned out alright, but the rest is really a mess. I started to outline the head and some hair but then gave it up, because I'd done what I always do, which is to pull the eyes, nose and mouth to close together and therefor ruined the proportions. Oh well, can't be too bad, because earlier today me and my parents went out to eat and a guy who worked there randomly came up to us and praised my drawing skills because he saw me work on this drawing :D





Aside from that, I drew this questionable character some time ago, for whom I can site no other sources then the dark corners of my mind.



In other words: It's going good!
