It’s been a while since I practiced profiles. I wanted to draw Lupin, but I was finding his face hard to map out. I wanted him to be a balance between masculine and feminine with severe features that could soften into looking utterly friendly and comforting. He is after all a soft, kind person who was very open and easy to talk to. I imagine he would be seen as such- extremely disarming and comforting to stand next to. But he also has the potential to be extremely intimidating and powerful. It’s a difficult balance without opting for contradicting features- a fearsome face of a gentle spirit or, in the other direction, a soft face on an intimidating person- but I’m happy with the result.
