Fantastic pic - I just love it; the pose, the colours, the delicate strokes. Really, really wonderful!

thanks so much. i decided to post it before starting something new for hp_tarot. i'm so glad you liked it. :)

You're welcome! This pic is one of the loveliest I've seen around lately and I'm really appalled by the lack of reaction from other viewers!

Do you use photo references when you draw? I sometimes do, but I'm quite impatient with them an never get them very accurately. (The guitar is fabulous, btw. But my favourites are the face and hair.)

my problem is most of my flist isn't really into HP. i'm thinking about posting to remus_centric but that looks like it's mostly for fics. i post fanart so infrequently that i suppose it's a surprise when i get off my duff and do something.

thank you for the recommendation!!
i usually look for photos of people in poses so i get can the anatomy right. i like things to look as realistically as possible. for this, i asked my daughter to hold a guitar so i could get the pose and guitar angle right.

thanks again. :)
