Snape Appreciation Month day 19: Costume Appreciation

I know there are a lot of different robe designs around, but while I try to portray Snape as I imagine him to be in the books, I can’t help but draw him wearing the costume that Alan Rickman wore in the movies.

And I was inspired by one of his interviews, in which he says:
“I was very involved in the costume.
I was very specific about it. I said ‘the sleeves should be really tight, and there should be a lot of buttons.
Because it helps me, the idea that he has to do this *mimicks buttoning up the coat*”

So I decided to draw Snape doing the same, fixing the neck of his frock coat, buttoning up said coat, buttoning up the sleeves and finally putting on the outer black robe (which I also love because of how it billows behind him when he walks).
