Tag As FavoriteComment		This a sketch I did of a Grindylow from the Harry Potter Books. You might remember this guy from Lupin's collection. It was sitting in a tank on his desk when Harry went to see Lupin about the Dementors. Or, perhaps you remember this little guy from JKR's 4th book, 'The Goblet of Fire' This is one of the little guys that attacked Fleur Delacour during the second task of the The Triwizard Tournament, which took place underwater. I also uploaded this same guy, but I colored it in PhotoShop, however I like the sketch better. I sketched him with .5mm mechanical pencil and I used a gum eraser

He sort of looks like a half-dragon/half-Gollum.

Oh - my - God -

How does this only have three comments?! I LOVE this - it's so perfect! Just how I imagined a grindylow would look... And so detailed! How did you do that? *the mind boggles*

Wow.

:-) Mardi Byrd replies: "Awww! Thanks Erin...I think he's pretty great too. Actually...I had an author of an up and coming book think he was pretty cool looking too. He's going to put it in that book, which is going to be out this September....so exciting....You are more than welcome to read about it on my website @ www.fromhere2daydreams.com...But, mostly...thank you so much for your great review!
