Lily Potter - I think I may be getting a little closer. Her nose is a bit long, but she doesn't look as weird as my previous Lilys.
Whatcha Readin'? - Eponine bugs Marius. There are many problems, age being among them, but ... meh.

2:50 pm - Making Connections
I just finally realised that the character who I'm reminded of by the male lead from Corpse Bride is Wiggins from Pocahontas. That has been bugging me for months.

Also, Lily looks very much like a character I'd worked on for a friend's project a couple years ago, aside from the hair. Considering I am not an anime artist, I must redress this. (Ooh, burn!)

hey tealin, what pencil did you use for the lily drawing? i'm pretty sure it's your command of it but i was just curious. :)

I am in no way authorized to give you advice, but...shouldn't Lily's eyes be the same shape as Harry's? I know it's hard to do that and still make her look like a pretty female. Also...her eyebrow (and perhaps her eye, as well) seem to be veeeeeeeeery close to her ear.

But, like I said, I'm really not authorized to critique your work for small errors, as you're a billion times better than me. But, I thought I'd give you my two cents anyway :)

Aha, see, that is where I always got hung up before: I'd start with the eyes, trying to make them look like Harry's, and the rest of the design would be absolutely horrendous. This time I figured I'd get the rest of the face right, get the eyes as close as possible but not obsess over them, and then when I got a design I liked overall, I'd worry about the eyes then. I'd have to make them a little more feminine than Harry's, and these are roughly the same shape just with more emphatic eyelashes, but you're right, they should be obviously the same as Harry's. Now that I've gotten out of the Bad Lily Rut, I may work on that.
