Is this a WIP (Work In Progress)?no
Notes: I did this thing *ages* ago, but someone recently requested to see some of my art of Harry Potter as a boy. Now, I did it once before feeling that I'd been there, done that, no need to go there again. The problem with the media I chose in this instance, is that it was a very rough, leather-textured paper. It was damn-nigh impossible to get any detail into it. I reminded myself that I never, ever, want to try to work on material that rough again, for either art or calligraphy! This baby is done with both watercolours and watercolour pencils. Yes, it's a real life, hard copy, got my hands dirty art piece. Personally, I like the colours I used. It's hard to get the look you want from a restricted palette. (I had like, 25 colours or something).

This is lovely. It looks a lot like... Harry as a boy :) Just kidding, I know you saw the movies before you read the books. His hair is nice and messy and his eyes are a lovely light green. Very sweet, Nancy. Thanks for sharing it. Concrit? from moi? nope. Love it.

Ooh, this is wonderful! Looks just like Harry. :-) Love the color of his eyes, just perfect.

Oooo! I LOVE this :)! I really like the color you used for his eyes, but the whole thing is great! Excellent work (as always)!

This is beautiful, Nancy!
You said it was difficult to work with, but the result is incredible. LOVE the texture; it seems to have a lot of depth to it. And, an incredible likeness of Dan Radcliffe as Harry. I hope that is what you intended. :)

Of course it was, since it's a portrait of him!! *giggles* Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

Looks great Nancy. I like how he looks a bit tired and weary, which makes it more realistic. :)

Just One Word

Gorgeous.

OK ... a couple more words. Great job. I actually like the leather-textured paper here. It gives it an "authentic Hogwarts-y" feel. And the red coloring gives the artwork itself such depth.

Beautiful piece.

Nancy, it's just beautiful! Wow. I'm sure it must have been hard to draw, the material does look very rough, but what a great job!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) It was nice to do.

Mmmm, how I love the limited palette option. This works really well. Now, the textured paper may have been a pain in the bum but honestly, it looks tops here and now. I think I like your non-computer work the best. Very cute. Love to see more work like this!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

People generally do appreciate my non-computer work the best, and I can't figure it out. I always think, "Isn't it so messy and half-finished looking?" But you guys seem to like it. LOL! Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

[cerulean-girl.livejournal.com]

It is messy and half finished looking, but it's immediate and hasn't been agonised over and over, and I think it's that freshness that people appreciate. Not that I don't like your computer work of course, but yeah. That's why, I reckon. :)

I've looked at this one too many times to count today and love it more each time. It's obvious your talent can master any media challenge presented. Thanks for sharing your art.

Oh! Thank you! You're so sweet! *hugs*

[maverickmonkey.livejournal.com]

OMG! Youve out done your self... Again!

Thank you :)
