Fanart: "Ms. Evans"

Title: Ms. Evans
Characters/Pairings: Lily
Genre: Portrait
Rating/Warnings: G
Medium: Lead and colouring pencils
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters; I'm just playing around a bit.




Lily Evans, around 19-20 years old. I used reference for this picture actually. However, Geraldine Summers doesn't fit my image of Lily she's too bony for one thing so instead I chose a Swedish actor, Tuva Novotny, who is sweet as sugar.

Otherwise, I don't really know what to say about this drawing. It was fairly easy to draw, and I think she came out well. Hopefully, I'll stop drawing portraits soon and start on real drawings.

Oh wow I really like it! The colouring is very subtle, and I love, love, love her face <3 Her eyes reflect really strongly. Eeeeek. You should most definitely draw more.

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! <3 You're always so nice; you spoil me. *g*

I really want to draw more, but I'm still not sure what I should do besides doodling nonesense. Mind to prompt me? :3

[roterhimmel.livejournal.com]

Sure I don't mind! *g* So let's see, what about...

Remus, Sirius (aren't I obvious? Sigh.)
aaaaaand. Mhhhh. Pillows? Yes! Pillows, it will be.

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Alright then; Remus, Sirius and pillows it is! *takes out papers and pencils, and puts on PoA*

(Also, what's wrong with being obvious? OTPs all the way, love! *g*)

It's just funny I always seem to go mad about RS when others write about/draw them when I myself can't do that. Except drawing them on very rare occassions. I'm just scared I'll fuck up this pairing so badly. I actually HAVE ideas for fictions - but I don't know how to start writing! All I can seem to do is writing gen fictions and drawing portraits, and ARGH. *headdesk*

ANYWAY. Sorry for my rambling :-( A question though (once again, sry!) How far are you with your fiction? Do you still want to have me as your beta reader O:)?

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about rambling! I understand your problem; I'm exactly the same way when I enter a new fandom. I tell myself that this pairing is far too complex for me and that I'll never be able to meet the standards, but then I get favourites (like Healer!Sirius and smoking!Remus) and pet peeves (like Gryffinwhore!Sirius and amber eyes!Remus) and my controlling, bitchy nature gets going. The good thing with fanfiction is that if you don't like it, you can do it yourself. Hurrah for that.
I don't want to sound as if I had the answers to all questions in the universe, but maybe you could try and write a shorter, pre-slashy piece? I find that that usually helps me. Also, I want to read more fics by you.

Funny you'd ask! I actually finished it yesterday, and I'll send it over as soon as I get home. *g* And of course I still want you to be my beta reader, don't be silly! I was aiming to finish the fic this weekend, but then it was Hogsmeade Weekend over at HiH wich distracted me completely. But now I'm finished (hurrah!) so expect to see an e-mail from me soon. <3

[roterhimmel.livejournal.com]

Hee, just that I'm not really new to RS ;) I've been a fan for somewhat three years now, I guess... yeeees a pre-slashy thing sounds great :) I actually consider this now! But I don't know, I'll just wait and see.

I got it! Yay! I'll start reading through it either after work later on (if I'm not too tired) or tomorrow... I've got two days free so I'm certainly going to get through it :D I'm so happy to do this for you!

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

I knew I'm the new kid on the block. *g* I just recognized the nervousness, but in my case it usually wears off pretty fast due to my megalomania control-issues.
Oh, and I really do hope you'll write something pre-slashy! <3 Won't nag, though. *g*

Asdsjkfdkfhdg! <3 Firstly, I must thank you for giving me a timeline; that helps me so much. Secondly, thank you for being so fast! And thirdly-- Ow, sod it, I'm just too bouncy right now. Sending you lots and lots of hugs via the net! <3

[Argh, and because I fail: I forgot to mention this in the e-mail. If a word is followed by "**", it means that I'm not sure of it. It can be that I'm not satisfied with it, or that I'm not sure if the meaning is correct, I'm just plain insecure or a combination of these three. Also, words and sentences between "{" and "}" means that I'm not sure if I should keep them or cut them out.]

[roterhimmel.livejournal.com]

Oh you're like this too? Low self-esteem but sometimes hints of megalomania? *g* Welcome to the club.

It's all right! I'm just having problems keeping up with all your points *g* I try to watch out for all you listed up there, and try to do it the best I can!

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

OH WOW. The thumbnail alone screams AWESOME! :D (Aaand... you've got another spot in the Daily Prophet next issue, darling, unless someone else suddenly posts art. Which is doubtful. D:)

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Heeee~ THANK YOU! <3 (Oh, now the egotistical part of me hope that no one else will post, but at the same time it's quite sad that there is so little fanart going around. Where are the artists?)

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥ And you've DEFINITELY got that spot, yes, yes. :3 I can do it like last issue and feature two at a time, which is good, yes? And if you do another masterpiece and nobody else posts, you can get BOTH spots! XD

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Yay! <3 Oh, and that there is a good New Years resolution: "Make the editors cram The Daily Prophet with as many of my drawings as possible." *g*

[et-tu-lj.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I like the freckles. And I certainly don't mind if you keep drawing portraits. ;D

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! <3 And yippee, someone noticed the freckles! *g* I'm starting to suspect that my Lily is rather much Irish, which would make it... very amusing to hear her talk. (Why, oh why, am I so obsessed with accents?)

[et-tu-lj.livejournal.com]

Oh god. An interesting accent makes anyone sexier. Right there with you on that one. *g*

[xbittersweet89x.livejournal.com]

Lovely. I love, love, her face and her eyes and her hair. And, of course, the freckles. <3

You should definitely draw more. ;)

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! <3 So kind words, you spoil me. *g*

Oh, and don't worry. I won't stop drawing any time soon. *g*
