Description First attempt at the Emma Watson Hermione Granger,whom, despite many peopl'es dissent, I LOVE. I can get past her insecure front of know-it-all ness and see the individual who is strong and always willing to express her deepest convictions, and ACT on things when she perceives injustice (ie. Dumbledore's Army). I find her overzealousness on some things (S.P.E.W., lol) endearing evidence of her youth and naievety, rather than annoying, and I personally relate to her feeling that she only has personal validity through her brains (and trust me, that feeling can SUCK lol). Anyway, aside, or perhaps ALONGSIDE, Harry, I always thought her the biggest hero of the series. She is loyal to a fault too, which is a REALLY rare trait in a friend.

Regarding technical issues, on second glance at this I wish I hadn't used a pic of Watson at her current age, because no one will recognize her, expecting to see little-girl Hermione, but oh well, the actress is 16 now, she ain't a baby anymore. Only thing that bugs me is her lips are too full...and her nose is too long..so this may get resubmitted soon with revisions.

Hermione is of course (c) JK Rowling.

Because your friends are being supportive of your own obvious talent, yes? Come on. You know you have skill.... ^^ We're all our own worst critics. I'm hating myself atm over my art history essays lol. It never fails hehe.

Thanks so much

Wow, you have a really cool style! I always try for that unfinished but gorgeously detailed look and never really achieve it! I love the combination of textures with the curls in the hair and the cross hatching in the collar of her shirt! REally beautiful work!

Another amazing work!!! And it's great that I'm not the only person who likes Hermione. Maybe she's learning too much -lazy me- but the most important thing is that she's a very good friend who you can always cout on. Rare in real life. Unfortunately...
One more thing: your way of drawing hair is beautiful.

Hermione was actually Rowling's favourite character. I remember that from somewhere; that was how she approved of the director for the movies (the first two); because she was his favourite, too. Personally, I'm a Ron fan, but Hermione runs a close second.

I agree with you about the lips; a mote too full. And I'm actually glad you used Emma Watson as a reference at her current age, because it's the age Hermione is in the sixth book, so it helps me visualize her better in my mind. So well done.

Yes to all that lol, although she said her other favorite (which thrilled me) was Lupin XD

I love Hermoine! She's the best part of the movies, imo. Best actress, and she's just a great character. Cute little miss know-it-all would do anything for her friends. Good job!

AmberPalette In reply to RobinLee [2005-07-11 23:46:45 +0000 UTC]

I actually occasionally find the know-it-allness could be toned down, but I still love her. I sometimes find her more adept at heroism than Harry ^^

Oh wow!! That's great!

Snape: *grumbles irritably something about 'insufficable know-it-alls' and slumps down in his chair*

*rolled eyes* For once I'd like to see Snape in a good mood, though that would scare the students to no end. XD
