Description
Drawn for Mynuet at the D/G Exchange on LiveJournal, where it won Best Artwork Overall and Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley. The prompt was shy friendship, with water somewhere in the picture.I spent most of May drawing this. The sketch was done in April, and then it took me about a month to color. Not the entire month straight, mind you--I just kept adding more and tweaking things. I rarely bother with backgrounds. Come to think of it, I never bother with backgrounds. Doing something that involved coloring just about the entire page seemed insane before I started, and now it seems insane that I actually managed it.
Anyway. Done in Prismacolor pencils, with a lot of colorless blender (on Ginny and Draco) and eraser (on the water, which looked absolutely horrible--right, Rachel?--until I used the eraser to blend it). There was a tiny amount of touching up in PSP9 to get rid of things like the unsightly smudge on Draco's cheek. Next time I do something this big, it'll probably be entirely digital, because all that coloring took a toll on my sanity.
