First, I am a Harry Potter nerd.
Guilty.
Second, I don't really like the movies that much. I mean, I can accept them as a visual aid for the books, but definitely not as a replacement. I haven't really been excited for a movie release since the third one (which they totally dropped the ball on) so between you and me...it was a struggle to get to the theater. But, they did a good job on this'un. It worked. Everything that was cut or embellished or reconstructed worked to tell the story in a visual format.
So in honor of the end of the era, I came home and forced myself into a corner. The tech pens I usually use also came with some brush pens, that I avoid like the plague. They feel loose and sloppy to me, and I like complete control. And its 'bout time that I grew out of that. So my challenge to myself was a 5 minute Potter. Fast and loose, with the brush-pens and then finish it off with markers and chalk. Of course I chose Harry as a child...partially because I'll always have a place for the boy who lived, and partially because I had The Sorcerer's Stone playing in the background while I did it. But it was fast, loose, and I was happy with the results, which means it ends up here, to be loved or hated by the masses.
I absolutely love this one... the style is really appealing to me. I know you said you don't love the tools as much as others, but it brInge a really different feel to your pic.
