For small details, I love Herm's ear. Ears are notoriously hard to do. I also like the coloring job. There is only one other in color of yours that I've seen (a young Bill with his long ponytail), but I prefer the style of this.
After reading another's comment that it seemed like a toothpaste ad, I can see it. you ahve so much detail going on everywhere else that not having any there is noticeable. I have no idea how to make it better, though. When you did try to draw teeth in your self protrait, they came out kinda goofy (sorry). Perhaps teeth are your next thing to work on for portraits. Or you could just make close-mouthed smiles and skip it.

As for the coloring, I really like how this one turned out, and I too prefer this style over the other ones I've tried.
Yes, I think I'm going to have to work on teeth, because they still frighten me after my self-portrait. I thought about doing these two with closed-mouth smiles, but I wanted a posed/photography feel, and I felt it worked better open-mouthed. oh well. practice, practice, practice.
Thanks so much for the detailed review! I can't say how much I enjoy receiving them, and how much they really do help me improve. More feedback=more ideas of how to get better. So, thank you!

Is it possible if I thumbnail your Sirius/Hermione art on my SB/Hr fansite and link it to here?
