Forgot to post this to the forums when I finished it. I’m trying to do Potter Week, though I’m too slow for daily prompts,so I’m spreading it out. But, I posted the first one on Instagram and I just don’t like it... though, of course, It’s got a bunch of likes on it. Isn’t that the way it goes. 🙄I really want to understand what is off about it and I’ve kind of got a couple things... 1. I think I need to draw through and crop the image to make sure the composition makes sense. Something isn’t right about their placement in the room. 2. Coloring. Gahhh. This is where I feel like I need to save for a digital set up or switch to doing shading etc with my pencils and painting over. I’m just so much more comfortable with pencils. I try to think through colors a lot, but everything ends up flat and muddy Unless I’m painting trees. 3. Gesture, she’s supposed to be startled because Fred and George just apparated behind her. Shes dropping the dishes. It’s not reading right away.
I didn’t say anything negative on insta about it. Because that’s annoying. But I’m posting here. Incase any of you had some tips to make it better. I’m not sure I’ll redo this one, but I want to understand what needs work. Thanks for listening if you stuck with me this far. I had middle of the night asthma issues and decided to post this while I was half asleep and drinking my tea. Rambling... 😬
