Harry reacts to seeing Sirius
– boy, it's a good thing Ron and Hermione are there, otherwise
Harry would be going totally berserk!
Once again, Hermione misses the mark,
design-wise. Here she looks like she's ten years old. Ah
well, try try again... |

And ... Harry goes totally berserk.
I shaded this one because it was just a mess of lines without
delineating where the basic shapes were.
I don't know what this says about me as a
person, but this drawing came really naturally and was actually
kind of fun to draw... maybe I have some repressed anger issues
that I got to vent with this scene. Anyway, it turned out
rather well, I thought.

"Going to kill me,
Harry?" (pg. 341, US)
I'm still not entirely sure why I coloured
this scene. It could be that I had to draw the background to clarify
the angle, and the desire to colour naturally followed. Possibly it
was me wanting to experiment with a nighttime colour palette and
expand my rather pathetic colour skills. After lots of banging
my head against the graphics tablet and accidentally flattening my
layers, I actually got something halfway decent.
Yes, Sirius does actually get a
nosebleed. It says so in the book. That is not
gratuitous hemorrhaging. |

| Crookshanks leaps to the defense
of his friend... (pg. 342)
From surprisingly pleasant results to a bit
of a disappointment – I'd been looking forward to this drawing but
it proved to be a bit too much of a challenge or something because I
fought it all the way, as the trained eye might be able to tell.
I'm sorry, but I just can't picture
Crookshanks as a Persian. I see him as a big brawny ginger tom
with a slightly squashed nose... I tried to make my concessions to
breeding here but this looks so little like Crookshanks to me that I
almost want to start over again. |
