Day 5: Page 394
Severus Snape
Ink Pen and Colored Pencil



The phrase Turn to Page 394 is so iconic and I always here it in Alan Rickman's voice. It brings up a pretty vivid image of that point in the film and even though Snape is actually subbing DADA, I can't help but to associate Snape with Potions. Although the actual page has meaning to it, the repeated phrase makes me think of being distracted in class and the teacher having to constantly repeat instructions to get certain students back on task. (Can you tell I teach middle school?) And that was the basis for my inspiration for this prompt.

This drawing depicts my character Karleigh Creed working on a potion that she had paired up with Benjee Marchbanks as a long term project. Though they were, and still are, friends, she also had a pretty big crush on him. Once he had a girlfriend, she knew she had to get over this crush, which proved a little difficult while working closely together over a project that took months. It was a little distracting to work on an advanced potion and work through mostly unreciprocated feelings at the same time, but she eventually managed. And she is really trying to concentrate here.

I am furious with these pens that smudged when I tried erasing some pencil lines, but shh you didn't see any smudges
