Willow's Artwork

[Will]

Hmmm... I had one of these before... I wonder where it went. Oh well.

As you might have already guessed, I'm going to post all my artwork in this thread. I'll most likely keep everything Harry Potter related and if I ever have enough pictures, I'll start categorizing them. However, I highly doubt that would happen. It took me months to finally come up with drawings I actually liked.

Feel free to comment. I would really love to hear from you guys. And of course, constructive criticism is always welcome.

well, since no one has said anything

I will be the first to post.

Those are damn good.
I like the ginny one, she looks pretty good older.

I think I've seen most of these before, but they're still good. I still really like the Tom Riddle one. The trio one is cute, too, and since it's supposed to be cartoonish, I guess proportion don't matter. About the Hermione one: I like the shading on her face, but her arms, or at least her upper arms, are too thin. She looks a bit anorexic. And there's something off with her collarbone; I think they're either too low or two sharp or something.

Okay, that's all I have to say. Good job, and keep drawing!

[Ritsu]

Willow, you did a great job with Riddle. I love pencil drawings with well made shadows and contrasts, and the contrast adjustment in Photoshop turned out really good. It's a wonderful drawing, looks like a real person which somehow is difficult to do when you're drawing a portrait (speaks from experience) Good job. *applauses*

[Will]

-sighs-

I’m absolutely horrid when it comes to proportions. I keep trying and trying, but I always end up getting frustrated with myself and either erase everything or simply toss it. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve read countless of drawing books and tutorials, but I still can’t do it. I’m almost about to pull my hair out. Nothing looks right to me! I can do the face and hair, blah, blah, blah, but I can’t get past the blasted shoulders. –twitch-

Anyway, I have drawn more stuff, but I really don't feel like posting it yet. I’m very lazy like that and I procrastinate a lot. Shame on me. It’s a bad habit I will never be able to shake off.

I’m a crippled artist.
It hurts.

Hmm... I think it's about time to update this. I haven't finished anything recently, but I have a few drawings that are... well... close to finished. I'm never satisfied with anything. Also, I had a loss of inspiration for the longest time. Only recently have I finally picked up a pencil to really draw anything.


The point of this post >> I added two pictures in the Unfinished section.

[KoNeko]

Damn. I wish I could draw like that.

I reckon the subject of "Not sure who this is" could be a really skinny draco () or he looks like he could be one of the Weasley brothers if you put freckles on him. But yeah, I also like the Yule Ball Ginny one. That's purdy. Anyways, awesome stuff. I'm insanely jealous, I can't draw for crap!

[Sphi]

Nice drawings, Willow! That "pretty boy" one could be a young Sirius. I dunno. But yeah, I love the way you draw their hair, for both the Yule Ball Ginny and the unknown guy. Put up more stuff, will you?

[Will]

Haha... Thanks guys.

Either a skinny Draco, a Weasley or a young Sirius, eh? I think I'll keep it up for interpretation.

Alright, I'm putting up a Draco I drew for a friend of mine. I colored it on photoshop... and this is the first time I have ever colored any of my drawings on the computer so it's a little... blah. Well, I don't think it's that bad for a first time thing. Anyway, I shall put it in the finished section.

[Sphi]

The coloring's not bad. I really like how you did his eyes. Maybe you could try adding some shading to his robes next time, though, instead of just keeping it all black...unless that's not supposed to be a cloak. If that's just the background, never mind.

[Lianne]

hahah i like the autographed draco pic

[[ Wiz ]]

You've got an excellent talent with a pencil there. I like the way you've composed the Heir of Slytherin one. However, I'd try to touch-up the body shapes there a bit, It'd make a great difference.

[Will]

Hmmm... I'm posting another picture. I'm trying to go back to my anime roots, just to see if I can still do it... Do it WELL. It is really hard, actually. This one was the first that I'm really happy with. Can you believe it started as a doodle of an eye? Yeah... I like to draw eyes...

Enjoy! It's titled "With Love"

[Will]

Lalala *skips in*

Just wanted to let you guys know that I added two new pictures: in in "New" and the other "Unfinish". I actually drew this a while ago... maybe a month ago, maybe longer...? Anyway, I'm just trying to say I don't have "Finished" date for the New picture.

The two boys are the same person, by the way. I was looking through LJ and found this guy... He looked pretty so I decided to draw him. *shifty eyes* That's not stalker-ish... *cough*

[Sphi]

No, not stalker-ish at all. But I like Camera Boy. Cool style and cool shading.

Draw more! Look who's talking.
