Description Dumbledore: "After all this time, Severus?"
Snape: "Always."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Severus Snape.
Although I am probably the only person who recognises him in this silhouette; the other three people I showed this to did not. I was actually looking for another reference, but I couldn't find it so I used this one instead.

On other, more awesome, news: this is my first Harry Potter fan art ever! Great timing, as the series just ended. I don't know why I haven't drawn any Harry Potter fan art before as I basically grew up with it (I stayed up 'till midnight to get the new books the day they'd come out and all that).
Anyway, I drew this just this afternoon as a quickie. I felt like doing something simple and new, so here it is.

Done with:
× Black paper (300 g/m²)
× White Faber Castell pencil
× White Derwent Coloursoft pencil
× White Prismacolor pencil
× Black Prismacolor & Faber Castell pencils
× Kneaded eraser

Anyone who's ever seen the movies would recognise that in an instant! Nice variation on that image!

That's awesome! And I assure you, I recognized him as well. You did such a great job- his hair, cloak, and how he's moving- it's obvious (at least for me as a HP freak )!

I've liked this for a while, and when I finish my current project, I'd really love to turn this picture into a x-stitch. Would you mind? I would credit your original work in any posting. I don't know if you've seen anything I've done, but I think this would look awesome done in every shade of gray on a black canvas.

N0rks In reply to OronoStitcher [2012-09-11 20:48:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, that's quite an unusual request.
As long as you credit the original in each and every posting that should be fine by me. I'm honoured actually! I've had a look at your x-stitches and they look pretty impressive!

Please let me know once you start working on it and/or have it finished! I'd love to see the result!

Thank you so much! It's going to be a while before I get to my next project, but now I'm really looking forward to it! I've given myself a year to finish my current project. Hopefully I'll be able to finish well before that, though. I will, absolutely, keep you informed when I start it!

I'm looking forward to getting the first results! I've decided when I get halfway done with my current project I'm going to take a break from it and do Severus, so it should only be a couple of months! I'm actually really excited about it!

People really should recognise him, especially because the effect is just created because of a silhouette!

Simple, yet speaks so much! I like drawings like this and I'm even more glad that it's HP fan art I'm guess I'm too big a fan not to recognize Snape in it, so, if you showed me at midnight, when I was sleepy, I'd recognize him at once. What's more, you caught the resemblance of his body, hair and clothes. Good job
I'm going to do HP fan art soon, too. I also grew up with J.K.Rowling's books and my first drawings were portraits of Harry, Hermione and Ron. I can't believe I haven't drawn them since 2002, I have to change it. Have already chosen pictures Will you plan to do more HP fan art? Pretty please!
OK, just kidding

N0rks In reply to Ilojleen [2011-08-30 19:57:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Good to hear I managed to catch him in a silhouette (I was really worried about that)!

Before this, I have never drawn any HP fan art before. Even though I was such a big fan of the series, it just never occured to me I guess. I'm looking forward to your HP drawings! I'm certainly planning on drawing something HP-related, but I don't know what (yet)!

Oh yes, you did, and did it very well
[Almost] Same here, I love HP for half of my life, but haven't done any fan art for so many years... I don't know how it could happen
Thanks, I can't wait for your HP-related drawing too

naturalshocks [2011-08-21 10:59:03 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome! *squee* Great tribute to the character.

Quite a number of pencils you've used there. I think Prismacolor is a bit too creamy for this kind of stuff and Coloursoft is a bit too soft for me, so I usually do most of the work with some cheap coloured pencils. And now I've run out of them. D:

I'm gonna miss all the HP fuzz. Actually, I've been missing it for a while now, for me, the story ended with the last book and I've never been very fond of the films. *sigh* I still remember the time I first read book one. My friends and I had a sleepover in a half-finished house in the middle of summer. Everyone had already fallen asleep in their sleeping bags and I was still reading the bit where Quirrell sucks unicorn blood. That was creeeeepy.

N0rks In reply to naturalshocks [2011-08-30 20:11:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank yooouuu!

Yeah, I wanted to try my white pencils out and see the differences. I 'only' had the white glow to work with here, so I figured it was quite safe to try the different pencils on that (instead of ruining another drawing by screwing up the face because I used the 'wrong' pencil ). I like the Prismacolor and Coloursoft pencils for making the white a bit more white (and the lines more defined), but my Faber-Castell pencil still works best for outlines and shading. The point of that one breaks easily though, so I'm still looking for the perfect white pencil.

I've also been missing it for a while. I like the movies, but nothing beats the books. Oh the frustration when one of my friends had gotten her hands on the English version, and I had to wait on the Dutch version because all my HP books were in Dutch and it's a series so they should be al the saaaaaaame. The real fun was that me and 2 other friends were very into Harry Potter, but a fourth friend didn't like it. At. All. So when we'd have our geeky HP conversations she was sitting next to us going "WTF IS THIS ABOUT?!" (We let her ramble on about Pride and Prejudice in return )
Ah, good old times. I miss HP books.
