When I went to a show in London last year, I was repeatedly asked if I had brought any Harry Potter sketch cards. I didn't, and I felt like an imbecile. I LOVE the books, think the films are great fun, and yet had never drawn any of the characters. So i've done a few, and tonight I feel like I REALLY nailed these likeness. If anyone else has Harry Potter sketch cards, lets post them here!

GOD They're brilliant Shocked, I love their hair/eyes! They're so beautiful and detailed. Out of curiosity, how long did it take to finish one of these?

They are absolutely gorgeous  Kiss.  That is probably the best Hermione I have ever seen - lots of the pictures seem to have problems with her jawline but you have got it perfectly.  I can't wait to see who is next  Grin Grin

I'm blown away! I love them! In fact... please get right back to the drawing board to show us more Cheesy Dan's eyes are amazing.

I've just collated a few Martineck sketch pics that belong to Jackie and Anna (I think! Do correct me if I am wrong), but Warren has been hard at work creating a few HP gems... you can find the stories behind them in the "your fav sketch card" thread in the general section, but I'll pop the scans here for all to drool over:

Thank you so much!

Well, I did one a night, over three consequitvie nights. Ron went fast, REALLY fast. I got the pencils right the first time, went straight to color, and was done in under 2 hours. Hermoine was the first one i did, and I had a hard time getting the pencils right; finally decided to go to color, promising myself I'd fix any problems there... Harry was the same. Harry and Hermoine were maybe 3 hours each? And that doesn't include all the time I spend on the internet, finding pictures, or doing frame grabs from my dvds.

All the sketches are beautiful!  Smiley

Allison, your cards are nothing short of stunning!  Shocked I feel like I am seeing Harry, Hermione, and Ron in real life! They are so accurate! I have always wondered how to put color to a sketch and make it look so real, like the skin and hair and such.  How on earth do you make it look so incredibly life-like?
