Tom Riddle — Description

Done in Graphite Pencils in my sketchbook I had been working on this for about three months during my lunch breaks. Had a bit of trouble with the hands and the hair but overall I am not totally satisfied but I can't do anymore without ruining the image.
But In all Tom Riddle before he became Voldemort is my favorite character in the Harry Potter Series. See unlike Voldemort who is a straight up nut. Tom had a back story and a history of why he became evil.
So when I drew him I decided to do a bit of changes namely in the badge on his robes. In the movie version they only used the Hogwarts crest not revealing what house he was in. But I decided to put his correct house on it namely Slytherin.
The Mirror shows what he will become in the future along with the serpent in the background. I decided not to use the movie version of the Basilisk simply because to me it would not make sense. So here he is with the Slytherin Crest peeking from his uniform and the Prefect's badge shining brightly.
Oh and before you ask I did use the Chamber of Secrets version of him. I didn't really care for the other version of him in Half Blood Prince. He didn't look evil enough.
But then again he is psycho so who knows.
