I was remembering yesterday how much this character meant to me as a young artist!
I was the same age as her when I was playing the game, and she was just super awesome. I thought that she’d make a great subject for a first foray into finishing something in SketchBook Pro.
Pottermore is now in open beta, so I hopped in to check it out.

Huzzah for Hufflepuff!
Wand details: 11in, Laurel, Unicorn, Pliant
My husband ended up in Ravenclaw, and while he feels I should be there as well, the Hat has spoken. Besides, the Hufflepuff common room is closest to the kitchens, and that is awesome.
The prompt was “Steampunk”, but I ended up going in a slightly different direction.

Lately, I have been starting to attend a local Meetup group full of people that love to draw and be generally creative! During the first meeting that I attended, we happened to have a theme of making a mandala; I eventually finished it up and experimented with a bit of watercolor pencil that I found in my old art stuff.
It ended up with a theme of its own, which I lovingly called “The Secret Garden,” after the book.
