HP Tarot card progress - The Empress

[nendil]

While you guys pick apart this one, I'll start working on the sketch for The Emperor :)

The Burrow doesn't have to follow Euclidean geometry straight lines or perspective right? :P

Going for a Bouguereau-esque pastorale feel here :3 Previous figure drawing sketches helped on this one a lot. Still don't want to draw hands and feet though, blargh!

Telling myself that I can get this one done before Thanksgiving, appropriately :> No rush though!

Is she supposed to be that happy Buddha portly? For some reason I've always imagined her as pretty skinny, or maybe it's just the movies, though I can't remember what she looks like in them at the moment.

Mrs. Weasley was marching across the yard, scattering chickens, and for a short, plump, kind-faced woman, it was remarkable how much she looked like a saber-toothed tiger. - Chamber of Secrets p. 32

Mrs. Weasley had just entered the kitchen. She was a short, plump woman with a very kind face, though her eyes were presently narrowed with suspicion. - Goblet of Fire p. 53

She was beaming in welcome as she hurried toward them, though Harry noticed that she was rather thinner and paler than she had been last time he had seen her. - Order of the Phoenix p. 61

There stood Mrs. Weasley, short, plump, and wearing an old green dressing gown. - Half Blood Prince p. 81

(Yeah, JKR uses the same descriptions a lot. :P)

I guess I can't argue with that kind of consistency.

What is the white egg-shaped thing by her leg?

That is what will eventually be a ladle.
