Description SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER 7

Young Grindelwald sketches. I wanted to show him both pretty and polite, but also to have his dark moments, and I hope I succeeded.
My heart broke for Dumbledore, when I found out, how he had loved Grindelwald. Ahhhh.....tragic lovestory: My favourite!

I love the pose where he is looking down.... very subtley dark. Great expression, very soft line.

Thank you very much. Much obliged.
I'm definitely going to draw more Gellert, for although he's mentioned very few times, he really facinated me and totally pwned Voldemort as the evil genius. And he charmed Dumbledore and took advantage of his love and trust. Voldemort's feeble charming of Hepzibah Smith is nowhere near as cool as Gellert's evil schemes with his blue-eyed buddy. In short: There shall be more Gellert fanart. For it is good.

Over and (Dumbledore came) out

Thank you very much! Hopefully I'll get round to drawing him more because, honestly, I think he's the BEST VILLAIN EVER. Heh. (Pushes fangirl chest creature back into chest)

Oh no! The consequences would be......considerable. I think it might actually be better and safer if I only let it out on special occasions. But then again, christmas isn't that far away......

Tragic lovestory = YAY indeed.

Very good drawings, I'm not an expert but it certainly looks 19th century to me. And even though I'm a fan of ridiculously pretty boys, I'm glad that you haven't made him overtly pretty but rather more commonly handsome and "realistic"

Thank you very much!
I must admit that I too adore ridiculously pretty boys (mmm.... Cillian Murphy!), but I thought, it would be too....boring and stereotype to do it like that. So thanks for your thoughts. Appreciate it and I agree with you.

Wouldn't you love it, if, in the HP encyclopedia, Jo told us the entire story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald? Ah.... I would be wallowing in tragedy and crying happily ALL THE TIME!

You're welcome
*checks Cillian Murhpy* ... yeah, he was rather pretty, but in a slightly scary way XD Check out the middle Hanson brother, Tyler. THAT is such prettiness.... *happy sigh* ...
Good on you, doing something new and not giving in to your pretty boy obsession when drawing Grindelwald, as I did XD

That. Would be. SO EFFING MARVELLOUS. A bit more crying won't hurt.

Very awesome! I hope that you do a final drawing of them (Gellert and Al) together -- that would be... adorable, for the lack of a better word. Can't wait to see more of your drawings.

Awww, thanks. Don't worry, I'll draw them together. I just need the proper face for Dumbledore, 'cause at the moment I just can't nail him.

Keep up the Dumbledore (and Grindelwald) love
