Description please full view!
I decided that it was time to do some "digital painting." don't know if this counts but it was a good warm-up. i'm fond of the painterly look of it, but not so fond of how the colors turned out. blech. actually the only part i really like is the shading on her face. yeeeeeah. but i figured it was time to post so HERE YOU GO!
So this is Lily Evans (soon Potter,) telling another story about something ridiculous james did to get her attention. in the sketch she has many adoring friends in various stages of hysteria but she was my fave so i just cut them.
yes, i AM aware that her bag dissappears into the oblivion. i worked so damn hard on that skirt so screw the bag. she's a witch, n'est pas? it's invisible. har har har
sketch- oc, 15 minutes
color- ps, 1 hour, about.

Hi Toerning - I am one of the editors of the Daily Snitch, a Harry Potter newsletter over at LiveJournal.
Currently I am putting together a so-called Special Edition about the HP character of Lily Evans Potter, with links to art, fic, meta and communities featuring Lily.
I would love to illustrate the Special Edition with a work of fanart of Lily, and I discovered your stunning "Evans" with the invisible bag and the gorgeous skirt.
Would you give me permission to use this artwork as illustration for the Special Edition? You would of course be named as the artist, and I would include a direct link to the art work here at deviant.art.
Looking forward to your answer, and thank you for your gorgeous art.
All the best
Vaysh

She looks so sweet and shy on this picture.
But her right hand is disappearing right now following her bag

A wonderful take on Lily. This picture has a lot of character. I especially love her face - the expression, but also how she seems a little pale and her hair not overly shiny - you know, human rather than Manga.

...Gods. I have totally fallen for your art. I think it's wonderful, and you are surely on the top of my list of Idol-artists. I think your art, style, technique, EVERYTHING is just beautiful. And you take the time to reply to almost every comment! You're so nice! And even though I'm young (Like... REALLY young) I don't think I'll ever be as good as you are.

Because you're good at EVERYTHING.

And (eeeh... I hope I don't sound creepy!) I really look up to you.

OH MY GOD what is such a sweetheart like you doing in a place like this?!
it makes it all worth it to get a comment like this. and never say that you'll never be as good because it's JUST NOT TRUE!!!!! i was so dreadful for the LONGEST time and i had no idea, and you know what gave me a clue? the wonderful interweb, seeing what was out there. the rest was just practice. and, look! you're already here!!!!
i DO try to reply to every comment and thank you so much for noticing, i'm SO BACKED UP right now, but i do try!
i don't know how young "really young" is, but you are on the RIGHT PATH!
