Description
Yup! This is it! Told you I'd finish it today!So, asked me to draw "death himself"
Well, I didn't really want to draw some Grim Reaper thing, so I twisted the words around. This is a thestral which appears in the 5th Harry Potter book/movie (whatever). You can only see them after you have witnessed the death of someone. Plus, I thought they were totally cool!
I know its kind of confusing but it was soooo hard to do. (And the only picture I could find to draw it from, was a stupid action figure!) But, I added stuff and made it all cool, and there you go, 'cause now I'm rambling...
If anyone wants me to draw something for them, please don't hesitate to ask me! I love drawing stuff for other people 'cause it widens my library's range of drawings. Makes it interesting, and keeps me from drawing only horses and dragons.
Hope you like it!
EDIT - darkened, contrasted, b/w'ed, background cleaned

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

That's pretty good for a first try. Though the neck is a bit long and the shading almost makes it look like a robot. But still that's cool to see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I sort of agree. but I still really like it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It probably looks like that because I got the image from a plastic figurine. Thats what you get. But I spent a lot of time trying to fix that neck. I'm done!

thank you! I know, there is almost no fun in drawing a head and a cloak.

Wow! That's very cool ^_^ Great creepy feeling. I love the dark, rich color you made with your pencils. I have trouble with that, because I am scared of smudging. ):
