Notes: Picture 11 of 13 for the Thirteen Days of Severus leading up to the Professor's 50th birthday. What I imagine to be a bittersweet memory for Severus. For this one I experimented heavily with a few copic markers. This reference used for the shadows.

Ooh, very nice! The colors work well together, and he looks very happy. I remember you saying a few days ago that 11 was driving you batty, but I don't see anything wrong with this.

Thank you! I do like how this came out - so much better than I thought it would.

11 was driving me batty because I couldn't think of what it should be. 11 what? It's such an odd number that I could think what it could be. It finally came together the day before yesterday - 11 is significant because that's when magical children get their Hogwarts letters. 6 and 9 were also tricky, but they all worked out in the okay.

I settled on 12 waaaaay back, and I think I'm okay with 13 although it's a bit of a repeat, but I think it should work. :D
