This was my first serious go at doing such a realistic on the computer and my first time in Painter. I'm a huge Snape fan. I tried to work the greens from the background into the skintones and hair because the little screencap I used as reference had a different color (blue-grey I think) background on it.
I'm not exaclty new to this whole digital painting thing...but I'm not really good at it yet either >.> So tell me, am I wasting my time? lol
