Really, really nice; I love the fall of their clothes, and the shadings of their hair. And their legs are so defined! It's really great.

Awesome job!

Thanks - it was fun to draw. I'm glad the shading came out OK: it's been a while since I've worked in pencil, and I was having some difficulty remembering that they don't work like paint.

Really good job. I love the vibrant colors.

Thanks: I'm, glad you liked it :) . Some of the colour is my scanner's contribution to the original, I must confess, but I liked the effect as well, so left it in.

Aw. :) I love the idea of Ginny trying to give Harry a happier memory of such an awful place. Ginny's neckline is gorgeous!

Happy memories are important, I think: you can't take the bad times away, but you can give someone a brighter memory to oppose them with.

On a less serious note, Ginny's top is based on one that I loved around that time, and might possibly be holding onto just in case 90's fashion rebounds on me the way the 80s has, so I'm glad you liked it :).

This is really nice. I love all the details, things like shoelaces and the wrinkles of Harry's shirt. And I really love how you can see all the strands of Ginny's hair. You are really good at shadows and shading. Great job :)

Thanks - I enjoy playing with the colours in the shading work (easier then faces!), so I'm glad it worked out in this piece.

I love the colors - esp. Ginny's hair. And what a great idea - exorcising the Dursley's house so Harry can move on.

Thanks - I love working with colour, though I must confess some of the intensity in this piece was an unintentional contribution from my scanner, which I will naturally now take full credit for :).

Harry has more need to move on from his childhood home than most of us do, so I think anything that makes the memories easier to live with could be important.
