#10 educational decree

[ click for full size ]

Whoohoooo! Into the double digits!

This was another piece in which I put the ink down first and then the lineart. Pretty sure I was holding my breath while doing the lettering and especially the particularly unforgiving red gel pen. Thankfully the floofy tail of the patronus covers a good part things so I felt less stressed about things actually fitting (if any of you know the John Mulaney 'Birthday Sign' sketch...you know the vibe). I used more of my rosy hued browns for the wood to bring in Umbridge's color story a bit more and that same reddish gray was used to shade the paper portion of the educational decree as well. The whole thing is probably...about the size of my thumb and my wrist was really feeling the tension by the end of things

You can kind of tell from my sketch phase that I had drawn it a little more to the right before and it was more square looking than rectangular. The balance was off and it just was not working. Was feeling antsy until I got the initial color down meticulously with the wedge end of the marker instead of brush tip. The scariest part was the fear of smudging the fineliner and gel pen while putting the final touches on the shading.

Text Cut: all you lovely supportive people ♥

The detail work on the cup is really nice. Let's get reverse coloring books and do the same pages and share our work.

eeep, thank you Ern! And YES, let's do it

thank you so much. The eyes in the mirror were a last second impulsive choice and the red color is...not one you can just blend out if you mess up so I was a bit nervous in putting it down but very happy with the result

IDK. it's cool. I am loving this so much!

good job, Kate! Thank you, I thought it was cute and sort of cheeky

Those runes gave me a bit of a headache and by the time I got to the multiliner I could barely see the bits I was meant to trace over I rarely get to use my super fine tip multiliners so it was also a little exciting

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzy thank you!

I am glad the concept is properly coming together I have some strong visuals on how I see some of the quadrants coming together but others are a bit of a mystery until I try to fit the prompt in. I think Quirrell's is the one I have the strongest 'end game' visual for.

And shuuuuuuuuuuush you. I am sure what you have produced is nice and lovely! [s]we all really are our own worst creative critics[s]
