You've done an amazing job on Snape's face. The nose is perfect! :)

Very nice. I'm not much of a Hermione/Snape shipper, but I love your depiction of the two of them. ;)

Just the usual foreword- I really have no idea what the poser can or cannot do, so whether anything I note is the program's fault, I apologise ahead.

Well, unlike most of your pics, this one I didn't like. It looks cold and artificial. Both Snape, but (much) more so Hermione, appears stiff, erect, and really reminded me of dolls in a clothes shop's display window, positioned to look as if they dance with each other.

Hermione's hair looks like a bloke of shiny ropes and I am not sure at all this is what you meant. For one thing, the girl is dancing. Her hair supposed to fall around her face. Not to mention that Hermione's hair main characteristic, if not Hermione's main characteristic after her teeth were straightened, is her hair being bushy. Not glossy, not thick, but BUSHY. Meaning wild, untamed, flying all around – in short: messy.

While Hermione's arms and shoulders are freckled, the skin of her face is unblemished. It's possible if she's applying make up, but being freckled, I can tell you that freckles don't stop at the neckline. Making Hermione's face a bit freckled would also help to make her look a little more human and a little less like a Barbie doll.

Snape's hand: being so gaunt, I think his metacarpal bones should be more prominent. I'd also like the veins curling along the back of his hand to be more notable, but that's a matter of personal taste :-P. The thumb's knuckle is lacking- it's almost nonexistent, making the thumb appears knuckle-less (a Raphaelite fingers?) All in all, Snape's palm simply isn't positioned correctly. It should be launched forward, from the 'back' of the pictured toward the viewer; like Hermione's hand. Instead, it's simply stuck in the front like some sort of banner.

What I did enjoy looking at is Hermione's torso and arms. There is a lovely, fleshy fluency about them. I also like your Snape, though this time his nose was too wide for my liking. Personal taste again. I guess I'm simply used to seeing it hooked and sharp :-).

I like the hands. However, Sev's nose is rather pink for a sallow-skinned git, don't you think? Wish I could draw like that! Fix the nose and I'll be happy! I like the idea. You need to draw some other dancing positions- Tango, Swing, Dip, Twist, etc... it could be a dance study through HG/SS...

Why can't he have a red nose? I was thinking he was called 'Snivellus' for a reason and with a honker like that-- Okay, I'll tone down the redness. My screen is adjusted too far green. I'm getting a new one this week, till then he's got a head cold.

More dance poses? Good suggestion, but I'm going to do a family portrait next.

The family Snape.


Thank you for your thoughts and comments.
