Harry-An Innocent Reason

Description

Original sketch by Burdge on her Tumblr

"Harry, laughing with the others, was glad to have an innocent reason to look at Ginny; he had received several more Bludger injuries during practice because he had not been keeping his eyes on the Snitch… Yet Harry could not help himself talking to Ginny, laughing with her, walking back from practice with her; however much his conscience ached, he found himself wondering how best to get her on her own." - HBP 

I just felt like coloring this because Burdge's drawings always look too good to not be colored, haha. Actually, I was surprised to realize that even though I'm such a huge Harry Potter fan, I've never actually done any fanart for it. Anyway, it was a good chance to practice a bunch of different coloring and shading techniques, because the pressure of getting the characters to look right is gone when you're coloring someone else's drawing.

Burdge's original rough shading pointed to a sunset/sunrise lighting, and based on the text, it seemed reasonable enough that Quidditch practice would end around sunset and they'd be walking back to Hogwarts at that time, so that's what I went with. I hope you guys like it, and Burdge if you get around to seeing this, I hope you think I did your sketch justice (:

Lovely colours and beautiful lighting. The loving expression on Harry's face is soft and subtle. A really heart warming piece :)
