Description

I wanted to try and paint Harry Potter as how I had imagined him from the books. ^_^ And needed some Photoshop (CS4) practice.

This turned out much better than I had hoped, though I had started this portrait with something much more "painterly" in mind, but, alas... I'll just have to work on that some other time.

And he is a bit effeminate, yeah, lol, but I guess I like to think he looked like his mother in some ways - not just his eyes.

He could use some more work... especially in the scarf, and his hair could definitely use some highlights, I know, but his glasses just had me so worn out! Ahh... I almost gave up on them, but I finally got them to look... not too cruddy. ^__^

Reference: [link] lol Recognize him from Air Bud?

Texture from ~darkrose42-stock. My thanks to her.

Would really appreciate any thoughts! : ]
