Discussion: Draco's Delightful 'Do

[pink_mint]

Hello my lovelies!

I have two questions for you all.

This one is sort of specifically to whoever dabbles in art on my flist:

How do you go about drawing two characters?

More specifically, do you mostly work on one character at a time or do you work on them both equally?

I must admit, I'm sort of struggling with this two character thing. What I've been doing is getting both to a certain point, working on one until near completion and then doing the other. While that works, it's frustrating because I have a hard time getting going and deciding on who to work on first. I feel all over the place and unfocused and ohhh, my brain hurts.

I do realize it's probably just me switching to a new gear and getting used to it. I'd love to know how you all go about it, though!

And my second question is for everyone! :D

What kind of hairstyle do you imagine on Draco?

And if you'd like to answer with picture examples, go right ahead!

I'm not sure how I see Draco, actually. I have Harry distinct in my mind, but Draco's always a but unclear. When I'm reading a fic, I tend to think of him with loose hair around his face, unless the author specifies a hairdo. I don't really imagine him with hair back off his face, but he seems to look best when I draw him that way for some reason. Maybe it just goes with the kind of face I give him.

At the moment, I'm trying to give him a hairdo with bangs instead of back, but he just doesn't look like Draco to me when I do that. I put bangs on him and he looks more like how I see Scorpius, and then once I push them back, he turns into Draco completely. Go figure, LOL!

So, tell me how you see Draco and how you like him best in your mind. I'm quite wanting to know!

Also, I'm so excited that hd_career_fair has started posting! :D It's brilliant. I really needed a H/D fix!

Ahhh, interesting! So you work on the same parts of them at the same time! That might be good for me to try, seriously. Because when I'm doing a portrait, I'll do one eye and then work on the other right after and match it. If I apply that to characters, maybe I'll have an easier time, lol!

Thank you, my sweet! *hugs*

Yes, he could be slightly more "pointy" LOL! Actually, I've seen other photos of this model and he's just not quite right. But THIS particular pic got me. He is mostly my vision of Draco from my Escort series, grown up and confident and not about to take shit from anyone.

*happy sigh*

I don't know how this comment slipped past me, but it did!

LOL, yes, more "pointy". But it's really not too noticeable, and the rest of him certainly makes up for it! If he looks like Draco in your Escort series, I think I need to be reading that pronto. :D

He is my very favourite Draco of all. *happy sigh*
