Hi there! As usual, I've been more active on Scratch rather than DA rip ;w;. I really need to balance this out!

Also, HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN! This is for Halloween in case I'm too lazy to make something separate

Anyway, here's my second digital realism attempt, of Bellatrix Lestrange, who happens to be one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series (My first ever fandom <3)

Why is it that I can't find an emoticon of Bella, but I find several of Lockhart. something is not right here

About the actual piece! The only thing I'm really happy with is the hair, the necklace and the shading of the neck. I think the face just doesn't look like Bella at all.
This is my first time shading skin with the watercolour brush! To any of you SAI users, do you have any tips for more natural looking skin with watercolour? It's pretty hard to manipulate, but I can learn!

The Dark Mark turned out okay, but the snake lets that down oml X'D

To any experienced realism artists who may be viewing this, I'd appreciate any tips or things you think I could improve on! (I can see quite a few, but there are probably a whole host of hidden ones)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Program used: Paint Tool SAI
Time taken: About three and a half days (If you cut out my procrastination X'D)
Bellatrix created by J.K Rowling, and portrayed here by Helena Bonham Carter

Hope you like it
