Drawn for the second wave of the Phoenix Tears OotP Illustration--er, thing. Anyone know what I'm taklking about? Well, anyway, it's number ten, 'Harry's dream of the snake attacking Arthur Weasley,' page 462-463 American edition. Not much else to say about the idea, there it is. Harry writhing as he has nightmares. I rather expect it's a scene we'll be seeing more of in future books.

About the picture itelf; I sketched it out in pencil, then redid it over in monochromatic colored pencil in a sort of red color, then scanned it in. I was going to leave it, but I started fiddling with it in photoshop and before I knew it... well, I'd done a complete coloring job, and I'm glad I did because it looks so much better this way. The skin is smooth and the pillow looks silky and the folds in the blanket are so much cleaner and I swear when I look just right I can practically feel him writhing and twisting around... in fact, the only thing I have against this pic is that there's something odd about his face... his nose, I think. And I admit he's a bit muscular, I was trying to make him look like all his muscles were tight and tense but it went too far, but it doesn't ruin things too much.

And the shirtlessness--which I'm sure someone will bring up sooner or later--I like drawing skin, so sue me. I can only just tolerate fabric when it's loose and draping, I shudder at the very idea of drawing some nightshirt wrapped around him, sticking with sweat. Bare is so much easier.

yah I love this pic and I love the Potter books. the story goes that when Harry goes to sleep, Lord Voltemort sends Harry a dream of a snake attacking Mr. Weasly as a test to see if he can set Harry up to kill him. sorry, cant help but tell the story.

love your drawing.

You did a great job with the blanket, and his skin is shaded very well, excellent showdowing! Love the hands, they always seem to be tricky, but you've done a realistic job and they look perfect
