How Not To ... Paint With Watercolour

*points at “not” in title*
You have been warned.
Also, this post contains spoilers for DH. The spoiler in the drawings is relative, if you ask me :-).

Feel free to skip all the tutorial stuff (which is image-heavy and, well, totally unprofessional) and sneak a peek at the pictures in my LJ gallery, here (pencils); here (inks); and here (watercolour).

I should really be doing other things, but I am still trying to cope with Deathly Hallows (*g*) and found that I needed to get a silly picture out of my system (in fact, more are popping up; I must squash them, aaaargh!!!). I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to work out, and I made scans and took pictures of the several stages, so I thought I might as well share them. Hence: a tutorial of sorts, though I’m not quite convinced that anyone stands anything to gain from my totally uninformed methods…

The picture is rated G (big surprise :P) and it’s a sort of joke. But it won’t work unless you know that the woman with the huge nose is my OFC, whose name is Brynhild.

I shouldn’t have been drawing and writing this when I still owe:
bethbethbeth a drawing;
redvelvetcanopy a drawing;
somebody at dh_predictions a drabble/drawble/ficlet/whatever;
lots of people replies to their comments on my previous two posts;
and the world (;P) a heap of RL writing –

…But I couldn’t help it. Will change my wicked ways as best I can. Trying to catch up.
