The talent.

IT OOZES!

I can't even. That staff is amazing and I love the light sketch of mad-eye. And that Pixie....I think he was born without wings. UNIQUE I SAY! I love him! That quidditch trunk is beautiful! and the hands for the unbreakable vow...just lovely <3 You are so talented I can't even express it! I can't wait to see whats next!

thank you! you are too kind. these next few aren't quite like these but I'm hoping to get more done like my first few

I think you could sell these as prints on etsy. Truly.

aaaaa thank you!! (the getting better stops now but hopefully only briefly). I was v proud of those hands and the fingernails too honestly. but no rulers on the quidditch (though not for want of trying; the lines end up too perfect and stand out too much beside the rest), just a lot of erasing and trying again

you are too kind ;;

and oh my gosh, what an incredible depiction of the unbreakable vow! The GRIP, the clothes CREASES… *faints* and love the backstory to your characters.

The shading on the box, especially the inner part of the lid and that QUAFFLE ahhhhhhh, is beautiful. Very very much well done <3

love a bit of backstory exposition, hehe. I'm so glad you like what you see here!! so kind as always (and more hands coming up in the near future hopefully, like at least one)

the quidditch chest looks SO nice though and I love the vibrancy of the pigmentation of those colored pencils

Zinnia is a big BIG fan of this one and agrees that the quaffle is the best bit.

Hands and fabric. I repeat: HANDS. AND. FABRIC. It looks amazeballz, Felix

I hate drawing boxes too!!! I learnt how to do it properly once and the whole process feels so counterintuitive (because of perspective or whatever) that I undercommit and usually don't pick it up till I take a photo (have learned to look at when I'm drawing through my phone camera as it helps me get a different perspective and see errors though, including symmetry, but usually with these prompts I leave most things alone or I'd be fixing it for hours. v helpful for when there's more time though)

also hello zinnia ^___^

The Secret’s prompt piece is so neat and I adore the way it’s shaded

you are too kind! honestly you say eye candy and my mind goes straight to colourful candy which makes sense with the colourful piece, hehe. so glad you like these pieces

Anyway. Hi. Love it here.

I won't lie, I had to google, but I don't know if that's because of the years they were out or because we didn't see them much here but I did recognise the names of some of the books. either way, I take that as a big compliment so thank you v much

anyway hi lov u being here

day five:
_____lumos
__________quirinus quirrell #9

SPOILER!!: day 5 - lumos

A5 paper, mechanical pencil (0.3)

"And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light"
- Turn the Lights Off, Tally Hall

I know there is a St Mungo's prompt but before I noticed it I'd already gone on
a wicked tangent to this piece for this prompt.

when listening to Turn the Lights Off, the lines quoted above made nemesis
upstead wake up (it's on my milo playlist, but they muscled in anyway).
they don't place themselves in the category of ~evil~ at all but they are
definitely masquerading under the light, and are maybe not as ~light~ as the
average bear. they currently work as a junior healer at st mungo's. go figure.

so there it is. lumos. light. healer. st mungo's. it makes sense in my head.

the shield is unfinished. I've not had much time to draw recently.
