Oh wow, this is gorgeous! Very very nice in small format, incredible in full size. I love how dramatic the shadows look on Snape's face.
Also, I'm in awe that you did this in pencil. It turned out really great! Something that could make it more enjoyable if you want to do another drawing with a lot of dark, would be using black paper and light colour pencils. No more problems with having to colour large areas and trying to avoid the flare when scanning!
Thank you! Yes, I agree, this looks good big and small. That certainly doesn't always happen!
As for black paper, I am having trouble finding one that I like. The only one I've found so far has too much tooth, and I hate it when the tooth shows through in the drawing. I'm a Bristol Smooth girl.
Plus, the coloured pencils don't blend like graphite does. Maybe I'll try white pastels, because at least then I can blend them! Thank you though! <3
