Discussion: Draco's Delightful 'Do

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 [livejournal.com profile] hd_career_fair has started posting! :D It's brilliant. I really needed a H/D fix!

Ohhhh! Gorgeous hair, yes, and a lovely style for Draco! I love that image you've given me of his hair flopping back into his face. Mmmmmm... :D

Right! I'm the same, but with Draco. The more I draw him, though, the more I'm deciding on which features I like and he's becoming clearer to me. But I've always had Harry, ever since I first read the books. :)

I'm glad you liked the pictures; that hair always screamed Draco to me.

It's funny, in my head I see Harry so clearly, but I can never translate him on paper. Maybe it's because I've yet to find an actor reference that really matches the Harry in my head.
