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!

Hee! Yes, very suave! And nnggghhh, that picture of Tom (and the caption!) does me in, too.

Draco is wonderful in that piece! I wouldn't say he's my Draco completely, but I do really appreciate the look the artist has given him. He always has to have some sort of style to his hair for me, and that one definitely has it. I also like how he's a bit pointy, but not overly so where it looks unrealistic. :)

Ohhh!! I didn't know you've looked at my art! Thank you so much, hon. I'm really glad you enjoy them! *squeezes*

Oh, yes, I absolutely love your art! I'm just really bad a giving feedabck, but I'll remedy that from now on. I think you are very talented. I hope to be seeing a lot more work from you in the future!!

Thank you so much, honey! That absolutely makes my day. *hugs*

Ooo, I've been nearly constantly working on art! But it's all on things that have to be kept secret at the moment. ;) I'll be posting new art in my journal soonish, and I really hope you enjoy it!
