Harry Potter girls (some of them)

I really love the actresses in this movie! I think my favorite new addition is Clemence Poesy, who plays Fleur.
This girl is so pretty! She is REALLY hard to draw, though...at least for me. Looking at her on the TV, her face totally stands out as being beautiful and possessing very interesting features. But when I drew the shape of her nose and the expressions she had, the drawings didn't turn out very cute...even though she looked pretty on the screen. I almost wanted to just exaggerate her obviously pretty features, like her eyes and headshape, and tone down the uniqueness of her other features, but it seemed like cheating. If she looks pretty in person with those proportions, then why shouldn't I be able to translate it into a cartoony drawing? Well, I failed this time, but I will try again.
Katie Leung, the actress who plays Cho, was the opposite of Clemence! Her features are very soft and round, and her face is so obviously cute that it was hard to make the drawing not look generic.
Emma Watson (Hermione) is another tough one! I guess it's dumb to say that...all these girls are hard for me to draw. Most of them were hard enough that I don't have any pictures to post here! Anyhow, part of what makes Emma unique looking is how three dimentional her face is. I couldn't for the life of me draw her face straight on. There must be some secret to drawing how a forehead or nose protrudes from straight on. Maybe it's just a mastery of construction and perspective. Anyhow, it's over my head so I'll have to stick with 3/4 views for now. I haven't given up yet though...I had to return "Ghostworld" to Hollywood Video, so I lied when I said I'd draw those two again...but I will be back with more Harry Potter girls! This is gonna haunt me!
Oh yeah, here's one more...IMDB won't tell me what her real name is, but she plays one of the Patil twins. Not much of a likeness, sorry!
