No reference, just out of my own head. Because I have no idea what I am doing, this took me about three hours plus 20-30 minutes for the paper-and-pencil sketch, including some hair-tearing, eye-bleeding painting and erasing with 1-pixel brushes at 200-300% zoom. The *eyebrow* expression was entirely by accident; I suppose he wanted it that way. The nose is more "I give up" than "I'm satisfied". I drew a profile I thought was near perfect but my spatial sense, being teh crapzorz, is having a very hard time rotating the shape to other views. Since I have about squat for drawing talent (don't try to tell me different -- have you looked at my website?), I'm surprised this turned out even as well as it did.
Judging by this ordeal, the other sketch on the page, which has him in a difficult pose with arms behind the back and looking over his shoulder so that his hair falls in a neat shape, is going to take fucking ages if I can do it at all.
What's he gazing so smirkingly at? Well, how about...
"You know, Black, faced with the actual fact of it, it turns out that you disrobing in front of me is several orders of magnitude less off-putting than I had hitherto thought it would be."
"There you go again, Snape."
"And where is there, exactly?"
"Using that brain for thinking and that mouth for talking."
"We can't all keep our brains in the pristine, unused state in which you so carefully preserve yours, Black. Pity I can't say the same for your mou---mmmph. ... mmm."
"You know, I can think of something else which isn't pristine and unused."
"Indeed?"
"Indeed. It's not used enough yet, though."
"Perhaps I can... assist."
