You guys are my witnesses this started out much less... unfortunate than how it eventually turned out! But oh, well.
As it can be seen I gave up not even halfway into the background. Things aren't looking up.
But hey! Happy march the 15th to all of you wonderful Hungarian brothers and sisters!

new sketch2018.03.13. 22:20, Omen Drals
I used design doll in hopes to help me sort out my devastatingly obvious shortcomings concerning anatomy. I did the original sketch by myself first, then created the pose in design doll to really see what am I missing all the time, and so far I find it to be incredibly useful as a self-help tool. Highly recommended to fellow artists who are also learning basic anatomy.
I think you doing the first sketch first, and then use design doll as a fact check sort of thing not only results in an anatomically somewhat more accurate illustration but it also helps highlighting where do you lack and need improvement. I think this is very important, because when you just look at references or watch other people speedpaint, you tend to think "oh yeah, I think I can sorta at least do that", but when you get down to it you might get lost in the details and end up botching it - at least I often find myself stumbling on relatively easy things myself because of plain oversight like that.
The flow of my original sketch was absolutely wrong - Harry's spine bended in a way that, while it's absolutely possible to do so, it looked awkward and uncomfortable. His head was positioned alright, but in on itself, it was too big for his body, even for a 10 year old.
His left hand, holding the ice cream was raised way too close to his face, and on second sight, I felt like I made it look like his left arm is somehow touching his torso from elbow all the way up. His right arm looked very stiff, and of course, both hands looked pretty bad (and also stiff) but that was a mistake I was aware of - I spent a good amount of time trying to fix them, but to little success. This is what I've got right now after some self-checking:
(this is supposed to be an illustration for The Vanishing Glass, Harry is in the zoo looking at reptiles):

So, these past few days (it's slowly an entire week now) I've been so stressed out, my stomach is cramping constantly and I'm having hot flashes. I've been thinking, how nice it would be to give (or receive) a nice, warm backhug, full of love and care and peace.
I blame these aformentioned sentiments above as the sole culprits behind this something I threw together in less than an hour.
Avert your eyes, it's bad (as usual!)
There are 16753264573254278 things I'm unhappy about this pic, but to keep my motto from Inktober - I won't get anything done if I just sit on everything for an entire month.
So, this is a quick emotional snapshot, I guess.
Should I even upload this on devi?

Well, it's finished.
I had to take a 2 day break (otherwise I swear this would have been up on Friday if not before), and I somehow managed to lowkey forget how I did the bricks, so the left side, which was completed as an after thought is vastly inferior to the original right.
The left side in general is just challanged overall anyways: her right hand looks good (altough this might look weird, as I drew her hand in big size then basically just shrunk it with the transform tool...) but the left is just.... unfortunate. Oh, well! It's all said and done.
But emphasis on the "done" of course!
Full res only for the brave at heart!
On deviantart:
This is basically the second part of my previous drawing, same Snape and his daughter theme. I don't know what happened to the left side of the drawing, it was going so well on the right

Let's just say this is not turning out too well either! lmao
