The Prisoner of Azkaban

I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

So, revision went out the window - again. I found myself watching the final Harry Potter movie today, I watched it for the first time directly after Part 1 at about 3am with my buddy, but by about half way I got kinda tired so I didn't take everything in completely. So yeah, I kinda just sat and watched it again in my agonising wait for Pottermore and days where I actually have plans. So, it's kind of a sad reflection the movie left me with. I wanted to draw something Harry Potter related, but not from the last movie as all my favourite guys are dead by then.

So, I sat and drew this picture of my favourite Harry Potter character ever: Sirius Black. He just makes it for me. As much as I find Harry annoying and moody, Sirius is the closest person he had as a father figure. He had huge skeletons in the closet what with feeling the regret with not being the Potter's secret keeper. Spending twelve years locked away for a crime he didn't commit...I dunno, he just holds a lot of traits that I think are well-developed and lovely. Yeah, I am a Sirius fangirl, deal with it B[...

Anyway, I figured nobody really draws many scenes with Sirius in them- especially not in his dog form. So this picture is around the time when Sirius is trying to get to Peter Pettigrew in Hogwarts. I figured he probably had to make a few failed attempts and had some close calls with the dementors whilst trying to scout out that nasty rat in Hogwarts. So here he is, broken out from Azkaban, disguised in his animagus form, running away from what looks like a failed attempt to get into the grounds unoticed.

The pose is referenced with kind permission from ~blackunia's deviation: [link] I loved the pose she had here, I'd love to learn to draw with more dynamic poses that can speak to viewers of the work as hers did to me. Please return her kind favour to me by paying her beautiful gallery a visit, it'll be well worth your time!

On another crediting note (unless it isn't already hugely obvious), the background of Hogwarts with the Dementors is from google images- not by any means drawn by me and I claim no credit for the background. The link to it is here: [link] I have used this texture, also: [link]

Okay. It's pretty late now. And I doubt anybody has actually read this anyhoo. Sorry Commissioners, this was genuinely quite a quick impulse drawing, I am working on your Commissions. If you want indications of the progress on your pieces, feel free to note me.
