Description
HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone :>Added some colorsss
*sobs* I am improving bit by bit
In the 7th book, it's noted where Harry's scar should be. Rowling describes that in the moment that Voldemort tries to kill Harry, he aimed at his forehead, exactly between his eyes. Man, I love rereading the series.
Update:
YES, I depicted Hermione as a person of color. I was inspired by the HP play "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child".
Hermione's Hermione despite any color you stick to her so if you can't stand her skin color, then keep it to yourself and let the world have its peace.
I love HP, so I made a fanart to show how much I adore it. Art is art. We all have different forms of expressing it. Now respect mine own.

This is, without a doubt, one of the coolest Harry Potter fan art pieces I have seen so far! The shading on them is absolutely flawless, and the lines are perfect. The colors match them perfectly! The expressions are little bit...off...I guess you could say, but I still think this is one of the coolest pieces. Normally noses are excruciating to draw, but you've managed to make them perfect. Though the ties are simple, they are honestly a deciding factor in this. An iconic trio gets the love they deserve through this simply perfect peice. Incredible job and please make more like it!

In their expressions, I was going for cutely fierce despite knowing their unknown odds against The Greatest Villain of their time *winks at Tom*. I mean like "wtf, we're first years and the Wizarding World expects us to defeat a monster that even the Aurors fear??" but ehh, seems like most people ain't got the point but that's ok, I'm used to it =w="
Thank you for the critique! :>

Firstly, I'll say I may be an exceptionally harsh critic, as I am on myself; I'd therefore like to preface my critique by stating how much I love this piece. Having grown up with the book series, I think you did excellent work and justice to the characters, and I like the artwork you've created.
Stylistically, I enjoy the simplicity of the composition and muted background. I like the rhythm of the figures' heights and colors present in their dress and hairstyles, and I feel that the image reads well from top left to bottom right. My greatest complaint in regards to style and technique would have to do with some of the blurry strokes and instances where you seem less sure of your hand. This style works as well as it does because of its immediacy and edges, so I find the blurred bits to be especially weak.
I find the purposefulness of the characters' expressions to be a positive quality, while I would like to see more of their individual attitudes expressed. The unified seriousness works on some level, but lacks some degree of dynamism or depth. I'd like to see Harry's conflictedness, or Ron's fearfulness, for example. With this said, I LOVE that you've chosen to include Hermione as a person of color.
Overall, I like the image and hope to see more of your work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you!!
I appreciate the constructive criticism and seeing that your critique plays both the perks and quirks of my work (which is exactly what I want to know, and the reason why I have this work open for critiques) :>
Your judgment is especially welcomed and works best like a sandpaper: rough and harsh but helps you get smoother and sharper which is all for the best. Honesty like this is wonderful and helps me in my artistic pursuits as I try my hand in art, first as a hobby, presently an endeavor and hopefully someday as something professional.
Glad to see someone who also loves how I depicted Hermione as someone of color! I'm tired of everyone assuming she's white just because the wonderful Emma Watson played her. No matter what color she's depicted as, the character stays true to itself not by its appearance but how they're portrayed in art or prose so y'all should learn that skin color matters not but what the person decides to do or tries to be. Don't make character judgments based on what someone looks like, what you prefer or what you assume they should look like.
And seeing your bio, I agree that art is the place where skill meets play!!
Thanks for taking the time to critique, you've been a great help!!
Have a great day :>

I LOVE the sandpaper analogy. That is really perfect!
I find it interesting that people object so much to the character -- who is canonically not described as white -- being depicted as black, yet instances of white-washing get excused all the time. As a white person, I understand that we all have to come to terms with prejudices we may have, and while it can be uncomfortable to face ourselves and our shortcomings, it is so worth it. Just like critique and artmaking, we become better for accepting our shortcomings, even when pointed out by others; but unlike artmaking, issues of race affect more than just our individual journeys toward being better artists. By facing the problematic nature of preferring to see a capable, smart character as white, we can insure that we grow as individuals, but that a strong role model is available to kids who may have historically felt underrepresented. So bravo for doing the brave thing!
And you're welcome. I'm so glad I could be helpful. Enjoy your day as well.

As i big Harry Potter fan all i can say is that his piece is simply brilliant. You seemed to take almost every single thing into consideration while making this: the detail on the faces, the eyes, the highlights, the colors- everything was carefully thought out and i love it so much. Your style is really unique and different and i think that is another reason why i liked this post so much. Phenonmenal Job. If you need me to critique anything else just send me a note and i will get to it as soon as i can but this is spectacular wow.

Thank youu
This critique made points about some of the strengths that were detailed in my work. You're all about positivity and made feedbacks not only about the details but also my style and you mentioned your thoughts and reactions about the aforementioned picture.
Kudos to you, mate
Have a great day :>

Thank you SO MUCH for this, seriously, this is perfect. Hermione gives the same feels as screen Hermione. Also the thing with Harry's scar, good catch, to me looks better and makes perfect sense. To see them as JK Rowling intended really warms my heart

It's a beautiful and amazing piece of art even if I don't really agree with this appearance of Hermione (because of movie adaptation and J.K. "Hermione's white face). Still, I adore your work

Thanks! I'm also fond of white Hermione, it's just that I mostly enjoy portraying her as a person of color as I enjoy playing around with her palette!

I see, it's a great thing that you have a courage to enjoy thing like this. Keep making amazing art <3

J.K. Rowling should've done a better job of describing Hermoine. Then we wouldn't need to be bickering over her ethnicity. I still choose this over Emma Watson.

And this is what Harry Potter would look like as an animated series.
A chapter for each episode.

These are wonderful character designs for the HP trio! I love the simplification and paper cutout feel that your shading enacts.
The lighting is awesome, but it doesn't entirely make sense. There's no evident light source, not even any hint of background lighting. The white highlights look a bit harsh. I'd go with a warmer/cooler color and mess with opacity--something that will give your piece a color mood.

I used a warm color palette here and the light source was from above but I guess I messed some up cos at this stage I was still experimenting with lighting so I didn't really had the hang of it then ^^

aaa!! i love the way you did this!! the determined looks and the magnificent color choice : O
i dont mind that you changed hermione to be a person of colour, i think she's a beautiful and talented girl either way : 3
keep up the great work!!

I find this to be really cool, I love the way you envisioned and drew the characters, but I think your use of white on them to I guess portray light didn't really translate so well, it's too heavy handed, it needs to be more subtle and blended into the rest of the colors, if that makes sense!

Well, if they ever made a Harry Potter animated series, I'd definitely like to see these designs (or similar) for the characters.

I've been working on it but it's a long way before I even animate a full ep..
I think I'll make a short animatic instead

Animation takes a long time. ^_^*

Yeah..
Even now, I'm still at the storyboard part
Sucks I have to juggle my time between acads and personal pursuits (the latter I haven't had the time to continue)

Love the stylistic lineless approach and it contrasts really well with that strong lighting. Great facial expressions too. Nice work.
