Gouache paints with coloured pencil on watercolour paper

*** This is technically a re-posting of this illustration. I plan to do so with all of my Potter art work building up (hopefully) to having some new stuff to share there after. So if you feel like you've seen this before - you probably have. On the upside, I'm sharing it at a larger resolution and without the DeviantArt watermark on it now ***

I struggled with this painting. Largely because I felt like the Slytherin common room is the star of the scene - and I'm not a fan of drawing/painting backgrounds. But as always, I give them my best, even if they're difficult. Over all I'm happy with how it turned out. My only real disappointment was not being able to show the giant squid swimming by the windows - which I could have done, but when I tried, the rest of the room suffered. You can still see it... technically - but it's not super clear and mostly hidden by the walls.
