Y'know, I really like how this piece is coming along so far. It's still unfinished, obviously. There's quite a bit of tweaking and various little details that need to be done. And I have no idea what to do for a background.
This isn't the first HP art I've done, but it's the first that's been more than a doodle, and the first that I've felt good about displaying to the public. (Besides, some of the characters are just so goddamn stubborn about not wanting to be drawn. Tonks, thankfully, was willing to play along.)
The base was a simple pencil sketch, colouring was done with Corel PhotoPaint. Comments, critisism and critiques are, as always, very welcome.
I really like what you've done with her skin. I always find it the hardest thing to CG color. Hard to find realistic tones and to apply them all right. The right arm and hand especially are stunning.
Yeah, skin tones can be difficult. I ended up blending a couple shades of brown with some pale orange and pink to get it right. And her hands took me forever, so I'm glad that they turned out all right.
