H/D-ish fanart
No more watercolor art for me after this one. At least not for a while.
Okay, I thought I was good. I thought I was good enough to do a color art by referring to a b&w picture. I was so wrong. This moster has driven me insane.
This is supposed to be Harry and Draco, despite the lack of distinctive facial features. Forgive me, but I just can't work on this pic anymore. This might have been the most mind-wracking painting that I've ever done. I was literally grasping for air when I finished painting the first layer. Harry's mouth never seemed right however many times I washed and repainted. And Draco looked like he hasn't shaven. Argh. *waves white flag* I feel the need to go away and doodle something simple. Perhaps aliens would do.
Drawing for me is more like a sport than a pastime activity. Sometimes I find the experience similar to reverse osmosis, if you know what I mean.
Dusty Springfield's The Look of Love might be a good background music for this pic. I put the song on repeat while drawing this, and seems that it had helped me love the pic more and hate myself less. Air's Le Soleil Est Pres De Moi(remixed) might also be a good song for this, although I didn't have it on my ipod at the time.
BTW, I don't know if this is good or bad news, but I got the seller package for Summer Comiket on my birthday, i.e. I won a booth again. I'm more nervous than excited about it though. Most of the fanart I've done after Winter Comiket are watercolor paintings, and if I were to make a book (copy-bon) for sale I'd like it to have at least 20 pages, which means I need to draw 10 more pages of stuff. Making a book out of my colored stuff might also be an option, but I don't know if watercolor paintings would look good photocopied.
I need to churn out something for it somehow, and two months just doesn't seem to be enough. :-(
