Title: Gellert
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil
Content: A portrait of Gellert Grindelwald
Characters: Gellert Grindelwald
Disclaimer: The characters belong to J.K. Rowling. No copyright infringement is intended and no money is being made by this fan work.
Notes: Been a long time since I did anything for my portrait series, so I guess it was about time? A dark, evil wizard this time. Albeit in his youth; probably about the time he and Albus were bffs. So... Today I bought myself blending stubs, which I honestly didn't know what was until I saw a Tumblr artist mention it yesterday. I'm such a noob. So definitely a bit in the unknown here, and not quite comfortable with them yet. I used to blend with a tissue paper or just my finger (the latter which apparently is a big no no), so I guess it was about time I got some proper drawing equipment... Fun to try, and I think they'll be a good thing. Well, hope you'll like it!

Oh, you know, I always love reading your comments on my portraits, with your interpretations :D They warm my heart! For some reason I see him with shoulder length hair, not sure if that's described in the book or just something I got from the films? Anyway, so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much ♥

Heh, uhm, yeah, I'm really not any kind of an art critic, but I've got a master's in anthropology and I always try to read people as best as I can. And it's nice with your pictures because people don't look generic, but they always have a distinct expression. :) I hope I'm not too annoying with my blabbing, LOL, it's mostly my personal opinion - it's always a bit biased how we see things. :) But your art is wonderful and I'm always prompted to comment on it! :)
