Media: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint, a tiny bit of white conté chalk
Notes: I’ve already illustrated the epilogue of this story a while back, but always wanted to draw this Snape/Shacklebolt scene in the alley. Now, with barely two years delay, I got around to it. The relevant bit from Beth’s In From the Cold is: “Severus loosened his grip on Kingsley’s shoulders and slid his hands down Kingsley’s arms. He stopped when he reached the ends of Kingsley’s sleeves, encircled Kingsley’s strong-boned wrists with his fingers, then pulled Kingsley’s arms up over his head. Severus transferred his hold of Kingsley’s right wrist so that both of Kingsley’s hands were pinned against the brick wall by one of his own, then Severus slowly lowered his other hand until it came to rest on the top of Kingsley’s head.
Severus ghosted his long, sensitive fingers over Kingsley’s scalp, surprised by each tiny bump and dip in what seemed perfectly smooth from a distance. He slid his hand down along the side of Kingsley’s head, and he could feel Kingsley lean into his palm while Severus traced along the edge of Kingsley’s ear with his thumb, clicking his thumbnail softly against the small silver hoop that hung from the lobe. Severus leaned in and took the earring in his mouth, turning the hoop slowly with his tongue.”

I’ve also written some commentary on drawing this picture with scans and photos of the inbetween stages.

Notes: This is an illustration for the epilogue of Beth’s Snape/Kingsley story In From the Cold. Belatedly I noticed that I actually misread the sentence and it was Kingsley wearing that parrot shirt… *facepalm* Well, I really like the idea of Snape in that outfit anyway. Also I’m aware both shadows and perspective don’t hold up if you check them for their proper technical construction, I just hope it’s not too cringeworthy for the casual viewer.

Notes: Beth linked to the first Porkish Pixies challenge in her LJ, and though I hadn’t joined the parody community when it was created, I was curious and followed the link. So I read that, and promptly felt compelled to do a HP doodle fitting with one of her example scenarios. Keep in mind that before this I have never done HP art, nor felt any real desire to do so. I suspect some sort of far distance electronic compulsion spell, it is the only explanation.
