Description
Another remake. The original was watercolor and very muddy; I re-drew all the lines with the tablet and recolored it. It's far from perfect and I still don't like Ginny's left hand, but I'm finally satisfied that I've done this scene justice.Related content

Beautiful picture! Ginny is very cute. I loved this H/G moment in the novel.

Hello! I came here from COS forum!
I really like this picture, especially the texture, Ginny and the design of all characters.
The colouring is very nice, too!

It looks great. Harry's eye might benifit from being lowered a smidge, but really, great.
I love the detail of the crossed feet on the boy with his back to us.

Thanks for the comment! I see what you mean about Harry's eye... I drew this so long ago that I didn't notice the flaw when I re-traced it. I'll just chalk it up to "style", eh?

Having not seen the original I can't comment on any changes, but this one is really nice. My only suggestion, if you do add on to it, is to add more of a background, books or something else. The grit from the watercolor paper (I'm assuming that's what that is) gives this a really unique quality. I guess it makes it look less digital. And Ginny's freckles are great, the more the merrier. Harry's a goofball for not noticing her earlier, especially with that wild hair of hers.

Thanks! I do agree it needs more of a background; I just don't know what would work without distracting too much from the foreground. Don't want too many bright colors there...

Something dark(er) would work nice. Maybe, um, we see bookshelves receding further into the background, but more in the shadows. Or even a wall with drapes covering the window(s) so the outside light won't affect the coloring of the figures already done. Two ideas at least.

Yeah, their hands are much better than in the original one, but I liked the background of the original better - it somehow reminded me more of a library. Ginny's hair and freckles are better in this one though. Much, much better

Thanks! I might add to this one yet; I wasn't sure about the background.
