My inspiration for Mr. Prenderghast's character was Tevye from the film
Fiddler on the Roof. Here is my initial sketch for him. - Heidi Smith
Here is a finished drawing I made for Mr. Prenderghast. The medium I used was charcoal
and pastel. When I was drawing this I imagined him at night, standing in the dark, only
the cigar illuminating his face, I wanted him to have a ghostly essence. - Heidi Smith
This was basically the final look for Mr. Prenderghast.
The directors wanted him to look like a hobo! - Heidi Smith
