Description The inner core of Dumbledore's Army. I actually wanted to draw these six kids for a really long time now - actually since I've read the Order of the Phoenix for the first time. As I'm currently re-reading the same book, I had the perfect source of inspiration. (It took me several weeks to get the drawing done though because I was only able to work on it once or twice a week.)

I decided to draw the kids with their pets as a kind of group photograph as I have already for the Marauders in 2011 and the original Avatar Gaang in 2012. We have in the first row from left to right: Neville with his toad Trevor, Harry and his owl Hedwig, and Ron with his owl Pigwidgeon. And in the second row: Luna, who has no pet, Ginny with her pygmy puff Arnold, and Hermione with her kneazle-cat Crookshanks.

I hope you like it!

--------------------------------------------------
Drawn with Polychromos color pencils on heavy sketch paper. I used references for the owls and the toad.

Harry Potter and its awesomeness belong to J.K. Rowling.

P.S.: As you can see, I never abandon a fandom. I will always come back to it. (;

Perfect!
A far more realistical rendering of six average teenagers than the fubar'd hollywood-casting could ever produce. THIS Hermione could really become a beautiful butterfly by laying off her normal "unkempt" cocoon and playing dress-off for once in a while and surprise everybody.
Ultracool Picture of the Ministry-Six in a believable artstyle. Legen-(wait for it!)-dary!

Their faces are so well done! And you've got quite some skills with coloured pencils, a medium I really wish I felt more comfortable with. Great work!

Thanks for drawing Neville with a round face, as described in canon. I don't think he actually needs a double chin, though.

I am supremely glad that you drew them very near how they were described in the books, rather than the hyper-idealized versions I see a lot of, or the ones that are based off of the actors instead.

And I love your use of color, and the shading on the faces is superb. You do things with colored pencils I can only dream of... T___T

Er-hem... ah, well... it's an awesome pic. /faved.

ALLthingsPURPLE-51 [2013-07-22 18:59:03 +0000 UTC]

I love the use of colors you chose for this!! May I ask if you drew these characters from your own imagination as J.K. Rowling described their physical characteristics in the books?? The reason I ask is because these characters don't really look anything like the characters in the movie's. In fact, your characters look a lot like how "I" imagined them in my own head when I first read the books!! Lol! Great job and I love the way you drew/colored "Crookshanks!" I'd love to see your interpretation of "Dobby," my favorite little creature!!

Verlisaerys In reply to ALLthingsPURPLE-51 [2013-07-23 07:33:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! Yes, I've tried to draw the character from my own imagination and how they are described in the books. But the thing is that I had seen the first four movies before I've read the books that is why the actors have definitly influenced the way I'm imagining the characters in the books. But I'm still trying to stay true to the books. It's complicated.

ALLthingsPURPLE-51 In reply to Verlisaerys [2013-07-23 17:04:12 +0000 UTC]

Makes sense to ME!! Lol! You did a wonderful job at separating what you saw in the movies verses what you saw inside your mind's eye when reading the books!!
