I've planned a total of 10 images for this thingy and I'm doing them as they come, so they're not really in the correct order.

\\'Professor?' he said finally. 'Do you think the Horcrux is there?'
\\'Oh yes,' said Dumbledore. 'Yes, I'm sure it is. The question is, how do we get to it ?'

\\Dumbledore’s eyelids flickered; Harry’s heart lept.
\\‘Sir, are you -?’
\\‘Water,’ croaked Dumbledore.

Goodbye KaHaSi. Hello Inkling.

This is the end of this year's sketchbook. It's had a pretty hard, albeit rewarding, year. It's been to Greece and Switzerland, mostly, and also other places.
Lots of great things happened this year both in my personal and professional lives.
Thanks H. for destroying poor KaHaSi :)

A collection of sketches I've done over the last few days and a few pages from earlier this year I never got around to posting. These took anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes.

If I had to keep just one drawing in this sketchbook, it would be this one.

After seeing the Manet exhibit at Musée d'Orsay last friday, I can safely say this is now in my top 3 favorite paintings ever.
The unusual angle, the simplicity of the composition, the limited pallette, the virtuosic brushstrokes.
I love how he kept things drama free, the face is peaceful, there is only a small stream of blood. The sobriety of death.
Manet - The Dead Toreador.

'Harry could smell salt and hear rushing waves; a light chilly breeze ruffled his hair as he looked out at moonlit sea and star-strewn sky.'

Unhappy with the previous one !

"Something dark drifted in front of the sunset, and he almost burst into tears. It was a perfect sunset wave, rolling across the red disk that was just sinking below the horizon. Every man in the Islands of the Sun had that image as his manhood tattoo, and in a few hours — he knew it — so would he."
