Lost and Found
Mar. 7th, 2007 11:16 pmIn going through past sketchbooks, I discovered some things that I don't think I've posted in here ... Some of them weren't even on my hard drive. Maybe I didn't think they were good enough at the time, but my standards have dropped! Here you go!

Many people complain that I don't draw Harry's scar. Well. I have rationalized this.
1. It is stated that Aunt Petunia assigned Harry his haircut 'to hide that horrible scar.' He has never been described as deciding to change it.
2. Harry is frequently decsribed as flattening his bangs/fringe over his forehead to hide it, therefore his hair must hang over his forehead. He seems to be rather insecure about it, so putting it on display seems out of character.
3. Scars (especially old ones) tend to be a slightly lighter colour than the surrounding skin. Making his a big fat black pencil line seems unsporting and unrealistic.
4. A thin pencil line in amongst the thin pencil lines that make up the hair in the same area would make his scar just look like a crooked hair.
I drew this pic of Harry asking Petunia about his scar as a young child to say LOOK! There! He's got a scar! Happy?

Harry and Hagrid eat hamburgers after shopping at Diagon alley. This picture makes me want a hamburger, which is very unusual for me.

I was sure I had scanned this, but apparently not, as he's not on my hard drive or site or Photobucket. So. The new Teatime. Charming, no?

Just prior to 'No no, don't do it, you're far too brave.'

Brutha carries Vorbis in the desert and finds that old temple ... I don't remember if he's carrying Vorbis at this point but oh well, it's all about the temple, which didn't come out as cool as I'd hoped.

Rutherford Lodge and Irish from the adventures thereof in Colin and Fergus' Digi Radio. I drew this in response to the first series... the second series wasn't nearly as good, alas. Oh well, I will still enjoy the perilous adventure of the Three Men in a Tub (in a Tub).
If I have actually posted these before, um ... sorry.
