Severus Tobias Snape

The Half Blood Prince.

Drawing of the superb Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, November 2011.

A4
Drawn on Bristol Board 250gsm
4H, 2H, H, F, 2B Staedtler pencils & 0.5 0.3 Mechanical Pencils
Approximately 15 hours.

My original plan was to draw 7 major characters from the books & movies but I'm just not sure I can be bothered! I also think that this is the last portrait of Severus I will draw as I think it's time I let the man rest in peace, lol. I slightly changed the drawing from the original photograph as I thought he looked too stern in the picture and I wanted him to look a bit sad - not sure if I didn't overdo it, though!

Not sure who or what to draw next!

And it goes without doubt that this image is for my lovely friend, Dasa (*happytrouble) because she badgers me constantly to create new work and without her angry emails I'd never do any work! Check out her page if you haven't seen it already because she's amazing: [link]

Thanks for looking.
