Inktober 2017: Drawings From Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (part 2)

These are the rest of the drawings from book 5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:


I had waaay too much fun with this drawing of Hagrid and Madam Maxime trying to blend in while in France. haha It's almost certainly not "canonical", but I couldn't resist. :D

Day 17: "Secret Giant-Hunting Expedition"
 "We was pretendin' we was goin' on holiday together... 'cause Olympe and me, we stick out a bit... so we had ter be careful."

Ahh... poor Harry and Cho Chang. It certainly didn't last long once they actually went on a date. While it may have started on a good note, that Madam Puddifoot Valentine's Day excursion was a total disaster.

Day 18: "The Beginning of the End With Cho"

This drawing of Hagrid with Harry and Hermione was done pretty quickly because I had family in town-- so the proportions and scale are not as accurate as I would like them to be. And that singular, unshaded tree is supposed to indicate that they are in the Forbidden Forest. haha Oh well! This is a lesson to never blindly agree to do something for someone-- you may end up babysitting a half-giant named Grawp.

Day 19: "Of course we'll help you! What do you want us to do? (aka: Meeting Grawp)"

This drawing was so sad to do. I tried to convey both numb shock and grief in Harry's expression after the death of Sirius Black.  I think all the oblivious headmaster portraits in Dumbledore's office staring at him helps make Harry look/feel even more alone.

Day 20: "There was a terrible hollow inside him... a dark hole where Sirius had been."

Inktober 2017: Drawings from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Here are the Inktober drawings I did on days three and four from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. 

I decided to stick with the more cartoony style that I used in the Neville drawing from the end of the first book for the rest of my drawings.  This portrait of Gilderoy Lockhart (holding up a portrait of himself) was fun to do! I was still trying to figure out how to ink in things like his robe, without covering up details in the design-- it's tricky not being able to do gradient shading like I'm used to.  Also, after this drawing, I realized that I was going to have to start taking my husband's advice and draw BIGGER! This whole drawing is only about 2 square inches, so it was really difficult to ink in small details like the words and portrait on the Travels with Trolls book.

Day Three: "Five-time Winner"

Gotta love the singing valentine from Ginny Weasley! Poor Harry is so embarrassed. :D It was fun revisiting this scene-- it's one of my favorites, but since it's not in the movies I had almost forgotten about it.

Day Four: "Eyes As Green As a Fresh Pickled Toad"
