Harry Potter - WIP
-
I agree with @Jeremy-Ross the flower has something more magical too it, and a little ironic I guess cuz he’s supposed to be a baddie?
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I like the hose better, I think it has a much stronger relationship to the Harry image with the umbrella dripping water, I can totally imagine the duel they are having, lol. The flower idea is super cute and maybe can be used for one of the other characters. I also really like the colors, dark and moody violet, I think it works well with the character. Can't wait to see this one done!!!!
-
@Tiffany-Thomas ooh I didn’t make that connection, good call!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Such a wonderful piece!
I noticed his sleeve wasn’t resting/draping on his arm, is this intentional? -
@Fay Not intentional, but hopefully when I add light and shadow it should clear up issues, though im sure there are many
A little step forward, not there yet, but trying to work out a nice color scheme for it as I go. I'm not 100% sure about the hose addition yet though as I want to keep the voldemort wand pose, but not sure its working so well with that prop. Thank you @Jeremy-Ross @Asyas_illos and @Tiffany-Thomas for your critiques about that.
@Larue That's a lovely thing to hear
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Ohhh you could try a watering can (though it is less wand shaped), or a water balloon? Haha, trying to think of alternatives to the hose that still work with the Harry concept. It's looking good though, I still like the hose and I love that you've incorporated the house colors into each of the characters...so fun!
-
Not perfect, but i'm happy to leave it as it is and move onto another character.
-
Hi @Gary-Wilkinson, amazing! I especially love the leaks in the hose, well done!
When you flipped the canvas, I noticed Tom’s name was mirrored; is that intentional?
Cheers!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I love it! Can't wait to see the next one!
-
@Jeremy-Ross Nope not intentional.... I'll fix that up, nice catch
-
@Gary-Wilkinson what is his mask made out of? With the rendering and no other visual clues, it looks like he might have put a plastic bag on his face?
Because this is a children's illustration, I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but if I had that mistaken impression, others could as well. Parents might not like to see that.
Just wanted to bring it to your attention and let you know what I saw.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 that's a good point. I was basing it off a beauty face mask, but perhaps it needs to be adjusted if people aren't seeing that
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I had thoughts about the mask as well. You could maybe do like an avocado mask LOL he could be eating a cucumber slice or they could be on the ground.
-
@Asyas_illos Some great ideas, love the cucumbers:
-
Great points @Melissa-Bailey-0! Another reason this forum is a gold mine! Sometimes others see what the artist does not.
One time, I drew a boy sitting at a table and incidentally drew the table leg directly under the boy. I completely missed it, but thankfully it was brought to my attention!
