MyHogwarts textbook illustrations

Holly Wand - for 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi

Billywig, dormant and in flight - for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Fenrir Greyback as a Snatcher - for History of Magic

Morning Creeper - for 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi
These are the illustrations I've done so far for a new Harry Potter fan site, MyHogwarts. They're making pdf textbooks based on the ones we hear about in the Harry Potter series. This is the first time I've really done illustration, which I think shows in the somewhat varied style haha. The Greyback one was the hardest for me, as I generally find people (or werewolves) most difficult to draw. I still think he looks a bit more static than I would like. But yeah. This has been really fun so far, I'm always up for drawing things from the Potterverse. I'm looking forward to seeing how the finished textbooks will look when the site opens fully in June. It's in Beta at the moment, but if you want to find out more, click this portkey!

Ruth/Mrs. Finchley

I'm in the process of designing and producing an 'artist's book'/comic at the moment. It won't be finished until around May, but as we had to put together an exhibition today, I made a couple of trial double-page spreads to show. The design will probably change somewhat between now and when the final thing comes together, but this'll give you some idea of what I'm working on anyway.

Look at all the stuff I got at the scrap store

I'm in love with this place. Got all this medical stuff for 30p. I think it'll come in handy for my current project. I might include some of it in the final exhibition.

Pill bottles

Urine sample container. This was lying listlessly in an otherwise empty box. I really, really hope it hasn't been used. I find those faint stains on the label extremely disconcerting.

Catheter

Oxygen mask
