Really, this fic makes me want to draw constantly...
...I just keep not getting around to it :)

Cho and Draco from If You've a Ready Mind by sarahtales:

This post looks very empty and I feel like I should say something else. But. Er.

I need to learn (or be not too lazy) to draw backgrounds. But I kind of like these crisp little black and white vignettes with lost of negative space around them. In my head, these two are walking in the snow in Hogsmeade (fourth year, in the fic) and it is very cold but also perfect and magical looking, and their breath is misting in the air and there is possibly snow falling. There are icicles hanging from the shops. But I didn't draw that, because I draw figures and like how clean they look, so they stay that way. I think that's also why I rarely colour my art - and certainly never render it - these days. I wonder, sometimes, if other people get the 'right' atmosphere from what little I draw of the scenes I see in my head, or if my art just looks like flat, meaningless figures dropped onto a page. I wonder if they'd look better or worse with a detailed background.
