Description
...You WILL be mine, Miss. Granger," Severus breathed, his voice barely audible above the music wafting through the room. Every other dancer around them ceased to be until it was as if they were the only two on the floor, as Hermione glared back defiantly, challenging his words with the fire blazing in her hazel eyes. "We'll just see about that," she said, without words as the dance...and the music...continued.Reference for Severus and Hermione's dancing pose goes to the wonderful FantasyStock . I used a photo of her brother and his girlfriend to help me with the poses. I used Adobe PhotoDelux Home Edition Version 3.0 for the colouring and stuff. I have a hard time with couples, especially computer-rendered drawings of couples, so I am very thankful that there are such wonderful stock photos for use as a reference.
Though, I am not happy with the way Hermione's nose turned out. I may redo that part later, after I've gotten some sleep! lol.
As always, Severus Snape, Hermione Granger and any and all Harry Potter stuff belongs to that rich British lady; J.K. Rowling. ^_~

Thank you! I may redo 'Mione's nose, though. It's too high and the space between her upper lip and the bottom part of her nose looks too...wide. Or something. lol.

Coloring by mouse (dirty mouse at that) is hard, I know... I've had to do it myself. So this is outstanding, especially considering the conditions. And I'm flattered that you liked my stock enough to use it for a pose reference. Thank you for showing me... It's a very nice piece of digital work.
As for critiques... Well, more shading. (Hard to do with a bad mouse.) More of a background. (Even more difficult with a bad mouse.) And maybe more texture in the fabric of the clothing and the hair. (Again, really not easy tasks with a mouse in disrepair.)
I love the expressions on their faces. :thumbsiup: I love that you nailed the pose so dead-on!

Thank you so much for all your praise and critique. Yes, backgrounds are something I have trouble with and something I'm trying to work on. I believe the one sketch of mine that has a half-way decent background is In His Element and that's only because I like to draw bottles! lol. I'm getting the mouse cleaned as soon as I get another bottle of rubbing alcohol. Like I said, I'm not happy with Hermione's nose and now that you've pointed out the clothing, I think I need to work on shading and adding the wrinkles and stuff. Though, Snape's highlights were fun to do. I wanted to try and make his hair look greasy like in the books and greasy hair is often shiney, ya know.
Well, I'm babbling. I'm so glad you like it! ^_^;

Drawing bottles. I've never really been good at drawing. Sp I admore anyone that's good at drawing anything. Still, it's a good piece, and if you keep learning, you can achieve great things. If you ever get the time ot wade back into my gallery, you'll find some very different stockphotos. I've gotten better only through practice. Same with digital art. That and a cleaned mouse.
