Drawing 20 - Are You MENTAL?

[tealin]

Every time I look at it I think the Slytherin locket should have a $ on it. Bling bling, baby!

There, that's yesterday's drawing. I didn't necessarily forget about it – I kept thinking about it all day – but I never got the chance to draw what I wanted to draw, so maybe I will do that in dailies today. There's only one more commission to go! I'll have to dig up some more stuff this weekend...

You captured the "just got dragged out of a pond" look perfectly. XD Namely the sagging wet clothes and flattened hair that ALWAYS makes heads look fucking weird-shaped, even though it's drawn correctly. And the way he's holding the locket and the sword all backwards-handed is just right, given the circumstances.

I love that you pay such attention to the posing and motion of these characters. It just works so damn well, and yet the picture is still so damn simple. o3o

That was as backhanded a compliment as I've ever read on this blog.

... it... wasn't meant to be backhanded? .___.? I meant all of that in a completely honest "Ron looks ridiculous and that means you captured the scene perfectly, and I commend you for it because you're very good at conveying emotions through poses" way.

It was wordplay on your comment "all backwards-handed." I like wordplay. It was a well-deserved compliment and it was about the way he was holding the sword. It would have been as easy to say it was a compliment on the way Ron was holding the sword, but less fun.

Perhaps it would have worked better if you'd quoted the line in your entry, rather than directing your comment at the passage as a whole? :)
