I actually drew this a long time ago, and never posted it because it was intended to be an illustration to accompany a fic a friend was writing. Initially, I wanted to wait until the fic was being posted before posting my illustration. But since it's been such a long time, and I'm not sure of the status of the fic any longer, I'm posting the illustration now.

This is my rendition of Draco as a young child.

	Hee! He looks adorable. And like he learned to sneer even before he learned to talk. :D What a great expression, he's perfect. I love it!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hi there sweetie!! How are you?? Thank you so much! I'm glad you like him. I've always been especially proud of this one. In my mind, Draco is brandishing his toy sword, defending his favorite stuffed dragon from some interloper, like maybe the son of a Death Eater come to visit his father. Serious business. hee :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I really like this. Such a cute kid. And then the mouth. I like the curve of the toy sword, too. And the lushness of the frabic; it looks so soft! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you. I'm glad you really liked it. What I liked about it, and why I wanted to do it, was that I love the contradiction of the cute little boy - far, far too cute for his own good - trying to be tough and menacing. Sort of like when Simba was trying to roar like a lion when he was only just a cub! I just think that's cute.

I should have mentioned (for those who care about these things) in "Media", above, that I also used charcoal to get the soft textured look of the fabric. Thanks for noticing that aspect of it!

	giggles like MAD God, I love his expression! I'm laughing as I type this, because his expression is just too cute and funny at the same time. I love it! Just like I imagined him being when he was a child. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you!! I'm really glad you enjoyed him so much. I was pretty happy with it, too, as it came out just like I wanted. Little Draco is so serious, of course, but still he's pretty funny in an adorable way. (Reply to this) (Parent)
