It really depends, actually. Most the time I'l just do loose pencils and then work it over with Microns or Uniball Vision pens (as was the case in mt "Headshots" post). In this case I did light pencils, then drew in the faces, books, hands, and general outlines in Micron. I then quickly inked in the robes of Harry and Ron with a brush and Sumi ink (my most preferred ink!)before getting distracted. When I returned to it later I still hadn't done anything with Hermione's robes and I didn't feel like breaking out the ink and brushes so I just used my Faber-Castell(I think that's the brand)PITT brush pen. These PITT brush pens are a lot of fun to use when just sketching. I highly recommend.brian hurtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670641351391210662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-1134734997533919202005-12-16T06:09:00.000-06:002005-12-16T06:09:00.000-06:00Nice job, Brian!

I always imagined a series that would involve Dumbledore when he was a kid at Hogwarts or perhaps the stories from the founding of Hogwarts. I think those stroies would least interfer with the narrative that Rowling is working within. <BR/>I don't think WB and DC doing something is possible because even though WB produces the movies the publishing rights are with Scholastic. But, fingers crossed, maybe Scholastic can talk Rowling into letting them do something through their Graphix! imprint.brian hurtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670641351391210662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-1134681658467991712005-12-15T15:20:00.000-06:002005-12-15T15:20:00.000-06:00Rab-Ok, and I'd call it a fishing hat.Rab-<BR/>Ok, and I'd call it a fishing hat.brian hurtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670641351391210662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-1134681496485316092005-12-15T15:18:00.000-06:002005-12-15T15:18:00.000-06:00Rab-I agree with you that often when the artist st...Rab-<BR/>I agree with you that often when the artist strips down the work to the "essentials" what is left can be more expressive, more dynamic, more powerful. I would love to see my work get to this point. It's something I'm consciously working towards. That's what I love about art. It's a never-ending process learning and adapting. I've always thought that the minute you look at your work and think that there is nothing to be improved upon, then you fail.brian hurtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670641351391210662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-1134680496908362052005-12-15T15:01:00.000-06:002005-12-15T15:01:00.000-06:00I'm a HP nut too, great characters, I would love t...I'm a HP nut too, great characters, I would love to do (or even see) a more adventure based take on an older group of Marauders/Order of the Phoenix.

There's something very expressive and clear in your use of this style. I feel the same way about the faces in your "Headshots" post...particularly the guy wearing the fishing hat, or whatever you call that style of chapeau. Pork pie hat? Anyway, it's really effective. When artists strip away all the inessentials and make their work as simple as possible, great things can happen; think of Alex Toth or Hugo Pratt.<BR/><BR/>Yes please to more in this style!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
