<edit> THANK YOU ALL for your amazing comments!!! I had no idea so many of you were going to be so enthusiastic!  I am going to close responses now, and give myself a chance to thoroughly read every comment.  It's been an absolute treat reading them so far -- not only is it fun to read effusive compliments, but I LOVE hearing your personal stories about Harry Potter.  Makes me SO HAPPY!!!  I'll let you know by note if you have won a drawing- and I will do my best to get back to all of your lovely comments!  </edit>

I sold some drawings earlier this year, and hearing feedback from the people who bought them and even in some cases seeing photos of the art on their walls made me so damn happy.  I have a bunch of old Harry Potter drawings sitting around which I can't sell without feeling like a horrible person, so I'm going to do a giveaway!  

The Drawings!

Corresponding drawings can all be seen in my gallery -

I really dislike first-come-first-serve scenarios, though, and my main motivation is to find these guys nice, loving homes where they will be looked at instead of mouldering away in my flat files.  

SO!  If you're interested, here's how we do: leave me a response here on this journal with the piece (or pieces whatever just give me an order of preference) that you want.  Tell me who it's going to, if it's a gift, or show me the spot where you're going to put it, or show me the frame you're going to put it in, tell me why you want it, whatever, just show me what the deal is!  I'll send the drawing to the person who seems most excited and has a place to put it!

Let's say we have till 6:00 PM Pacific time tomorrow, May 1, then I'll close the comments.  That's a nice chunk of time.

p.s. I want to make sure these aren't going to get bent/lost/traumatized in the mail, so it would be great if you would be willing to contribute a bit to packing/shipping costs via paypal.  Since the whole point of this is a giveaway I'm not going to require it, but it would definitely help me out!  Also, international peeps welcome!

I love your work! Beautifully expressive lighting and colours, all done in a fantastic painterly style - topped off with engaging expressions/poses/characters. I would fave everything in your gallery, but don't want to seem too fangirlish... Keep up the excellent work! :dance:

You have an amazing gallery. Is there any other programs that I get that's not photoshop?

Thanks so much! I only use photoshop cause it's got the right balance of elements for me, but there are a lot of great alternatives out there. Based off the stuff I see in your gallery, I think you should try Paint Tool Sai (if you're not on a Mac) or Manga Studio, both of which I've used and loved!

Thanks so much! I downloaded Paint Tool Sai and it is AMAZING. Still trying to get used to the program. (can't get how to add textures...) or copy and paste an eye I have already drawn using it...cause everytime I copy and paste it makes a new layer @_@

Ah yes, the copy/paste new layer. That's a feature of most paint programs, including Photoshop. What you can do is after you paste it, simply merge that layer to the one beneath (I don't have the program anymore so I forget where to find that feature but I'm sure you can find it on the internet.) and voila! One layer!

I'm really glad you're enjoying the program, that's what I learned digital art on! Good luck!
