Art: Lullaby (G)

[sigune]

Whew! I had to start this picture all over - I inked it with my brush pen and then saw that all sorts of things were wrong with it :P. I redrew it with my Staedtler pens and got a much more pleasing result, also in terms of details.

I know that people like my black-and-white pictures better than the colour ones, but the scene I drew here is a nocturnal one and I thought it would look like a large ink blot if I tried to keep it in b/w. This turned into another experiment, and I'm not displeased with the final result. More important, though, is the question whether mary_j_59 is happy with it, because this was done for her, for snapedom's Summer Fest. It's an illustration of her story All Hallow's Eve.

Wow, I love it! Although I like your b&w-pictures best, too, I think you did an excellent job on the colours here!
Snape's expression is great and he looks so protective... great atmosphere!

Thank you! I had a good look at Marini's night scenes ;-) - not that I'd pretend to get anywhere near them (*sigh*). It's really strange to try and create a different kind of light with colour, though I suppose that for people who have experience with it, it's rather self-evident. It was great fun to do.
