This is my first time to do painting in realistic style. That is why I choose black and white for this project, I want to learn how to shading with paint first before using colors. The hardest part of this project is the Harry's face part, he is a famous character so people could tell if there any differences compare the real actor. Painting is pretty enjoyable for me, if we make a mistake we could paint it and than correct it. First, I make a simple sketch (just the outline) with pencil, and then apply the paint. the challenging part of it is probably when we mix the color with so it turn to a color that we want, because sometimes it could be to light or to dark. Like in the picture, the color in Harry's face and the owl, Hedwig is very light grey compare to Harry's shirt and jacket. We have to be careful to mix a color because usually black has more power than white. It will be turn really dark if there is a little excess of black in the mixture. Add some water also make the painting really easy, for background I used a high liquidity level of paint. It's evenly spread really easy. From this project I become more patient and carefully in drawing or painting. I learn how to make a good mixture of color and control the compositions.
