Just a little closer

Another exelent picture. Isnt this where one of the Weasly brothers walks into the room? If this doesent happen in HPB, someone should write a fic about it...

The hands are drawn better in this one, though still out of proportion. By half, in the case of Ginnys hand. She might have really small hands, though. I put my hand on my face with my palm against my chin, for size comparison, and my fingertips landed about an inch and a half above the top of my ear. I have hands the size of tennis rackets, so it might not be the most accurate comparison. Still small, though.

If I had glasses, I'd proabably take them off, in this situation...

Great work, love to see more of your work. It might be an interesting exercise to draw some of the possible outcomes of this situation. H/G snogfest, Ginny getting mad at Harry for leaving his glasses on and scratching her face with them, Weasly brothers walking in on them, and possibly trying to kill Harry, etc etc etc. Some of those might be a little hard to show in a picture, especially the last one. An interesting challenge.

Thanks for the wonderful long review!  I did do a "sequel" to this, but I really don't like it (there is a version on hgforever.com if anyone wants to see it).  Anyway, about the hands!  My hands are TINY.  When I put my palm against my chin, my middle finger barely touches my eyebrow.  That's the model I used for Ginny's hands.  I agree that Harry's hands look too small, though - but mainly because his head is too big, LOL!  Oh well...

And about the glasses... well, I dated my husband for 4 years before we were married, and he wore glasses... and let's just say they didn't really impede things as much as you might think.  :D

Oh I hope you have 'the Sight' and this is a HBP scene you've managed to draw. lol

Good work on the textures and features in this one - love her freckels and the way Harry is has his hand in her hair. It's a romantic pose and yet it's innocent too, and that's hard to pull off. Bravo!

I really like this special moment between Harry and Ginny.  Overall, you've done a really nice job on this picture.  One thing I noticed, however, is that their hands seem out of proportion:  Ginny's fingers need to be longer as do Harry's and his hand seems a little too pudgy for the rest of his body.  Thank you for sharing your art with us.

Hmmm, there are quite a few things wrong with this picture, but I never noticed the hands were too small.  I think the fact that I happen to have very small, stubby hands might have something to do with it!  :D
