Description Hermione in a potions class. I just realized that she's not wearing a Prefect badge, so I s'pose this is around year 4? Even though originally I was going to say this was from year 5.... Oh well.

I really just wanted to draw this because I got into the mood to do it and Hermione is probably my favorite character from the series if I had to pick one. I'm still not completely satisfied with this; her hair is so dark compared to everything else because it's one of few things colored in, and I want to fix that... Thus I've dubbed it a work in progress. We'll see if I ever finish it.

OTHER REASON I WANT TO DRAW HERMIONE?
I'm all for artistic expression, and people can draw however they want, but I personally am usually never satisfied when searching for Hermione art, because people either a) make her too beautiful/sexy, b) make her look like Emma Watson (which is fine if it's movie fan art, but I do like seeing book fan art!), or c) don't understand what "bushy hair" means. Bushy does not mean sleek waves and curls. Her hair should be he hair is thick, curly, and puffy, not like some kind of runway model And thus for a very, very, very long time, I have been wanting to draw an accurate Hermione Granger, or at least draw her as I imagine her from the books.

I hope you like it.

I like this. I'm glad someone understands that Hermione wasn't suppose to be beautiful/sexy.

Also, I like your style.

Thank you so much!

I'm glad that you agree! I've always just wanted to draw her accurately because there are so many people who don't.

I know. I mean, I can see maybe her being beautiful if they draw her much older. Like, after the seventh book. Or, if it's like, through Ron's eyes. But I've always pictured her to be pretty, but in the girl-next-door kind of way.

Yeah, I definitely don't think she's ugly, she is decent looking. But for example, at the Yule Ball she looked "very pretty" and because of it Harry didn't even recognize her, and they're best friends. She's just not concerned with it from day to day, she's got more important things to do, like studying

I agree what you're saying, like after book 7 maybe. I think by the time it hits book 7 she is starting to become a bit prettier; or at least, there are more examples of other people saying so.

Yes she does. Studying is what Hermione does best. xD

Yes there are. Though, I think after the fourth book Ron only saw her as very pretty. Though, by the third book I was convinced they would get together. xD
