Description We had to draw Ernie for a contest over at hogwarts_elite and this was my entry. The voting is closed, so I can put it up now, yay!

*Hillary-CW and *makani also entered, so I'm gunning for third. LOL.

Actually very happy with this. I did it very last minute, and I think I'm finally getting better at movement in my pictures

So yes. I now have 10 other things to draw atm, plus I'm starting to cut my documentary together. Busy, busy, busy!

Peace,
Rotae

this is probably a stupid question, but how did you do the stuff coming out the end of his wand? It looks really cool! Did you just draw it? How did you do the colour changes in it?

LOL. Not a stupid question at all!! I asked someone how to do it as well! It's just in photoshop, and yeah, it's drawn. About a 60% opacity setting on the brush, that's all I'll bring around my computer and show you if you like

Peace,

Cool! We so have to get together. Go and watch a movie or something! I'm going away on placement soon, so I won't be around for a while, but if I leave you a msg on livejournal when I get back did you want to go and see a movie?

Fanart is such a unique contest. A lot of the time you can totally say who entered the piece

anyway, I liked how you did the spell in this. And his hands look very nice.

LOL. Totally! But it's the same with some graphics. I can pick BethyJ's at 20 metres, haha!

Thank you very much, dearest, glad you like it

I also thought I recognized your style. I like it allthough (as I thought with other pics) I see Ernie as blonde and more stout (is that a word?)
Great job! I like how you did the movement

I originally drew Ernie in 2005, I think... and he was there with Justin and Hannah, and I had Hannah as blonde (which is canon), and Justin with dirty blond/light brown hair, so I thought I should make Ernie have not-blond hair, haha!! So that's why he's like that

And I did try to make him a bit pudgier, but I thought that since he's a guy he probably had a growth spurt during his last year (like Matthew Lewis, actually). He does have a pudgy little tummy still though

Thank you, dearest! Hufflepuff ftw!!

Peace,
Rotae
