Well, there is hope for me without schooling in Photoshop! That hope is oil paints - and it's not a bad substitute.
I used to be proud of this painting, but looking at it it increasingly sucks. Sometimes because its values are too simple, sometimes because I modeled all three figures off myself and with Bellatrix it shows. (Incidentally, it's also how I pictured Bellatrix.)
