Snape and Sherlock WIP Part 3

[pennswoods]

Not quite done, but here's the piece so far. I wanted to draw these two in parallel as much as possible since the purpose of this piece is to highlight their similarities. This meant I wanted to use similar coloring techniques on both. Both have a talisman that is not black and both have a textured hero's cape of sorts. Sherlock's coat pleases me with how it came out, but I struggled a bit finding a way to incorporate a different but parallel technique for Snape's robes. Black is always tricky to represent, but I settled on tiny circles with tight horizontal lines to give his robes a more fluid feel.

this seems the best way to show the creases and outlines of the fabric

Yep. I appreciate how you went all out with it, and didn't try to make them gray, or thin, or otherwise try to disguise/downplay them.
