gift art for Satinvalkyrie

[nassima]

Which is also my first attempt at pastels. I was dying to try after cluegirl's tutorial.

The pic is satinvalkyrie's, so please don't use it without her permission.

So, behind the cut are Sirius and Hermione sleeping, made with sepia, grey and black pastels. Sorry for the various smudges, it's my scanner that's dirty not the pic...

That's beautiful. :)

You know...I actually prefer drawing women. Their bodies just...flow more nicely, with all the curves.

Thanks :)

And same for me! Before discovering slash, I would quite never draw men. Curves are easier (or it's only that I'm more used to see them in the mirror), and it's very useful that a bit of body fat can hide the exact line of a muscle or a bone.

But I've become quite fond of drawing men's bodies those days, too ;)
