This is a late teen version of Ron Weasley from HP. He was actually based on a friend of mine :-)

In Memorium:

On January 6, 2005, the young man who was the model for this drawing died. His name was Antonio and although I only worked with him for about 8 months, I will always remember his gentleness and his smile. Because he was tall and skinny and had dark red hair, I thought that he would make a good model for teenage Ron. He was a very good sport about posing for photos and even posed with a broom :) Everytime I see this drawing I am reminded of him and of what we all lost.

wau - this really lookes like I imagen Ron..

And, what a sad story about the model, Antonio. Sad how things just sometimes hapen, and we are left behind with all the memories. In this case, a wonderfull drawing. I drew a picture of my grandmother before she died. I feel so wierd when I look at it now. Sad and happy at the same time. I guess you must feel the same.. I'm sorry for your loss..

If not for the title, I would have guessed at Bill, though.
