I just want to hug him, now I want to read some Harry is adopted stories. And this bed is probably bigger than what he really had, wasnt it a cot? The thought put into the detail is very nice.

(Ps. One thing I noticed is his head is too aligned with his neck, the head sits away from the neck a bit more.)

I take back my earlier response, you're totally right about his head/neck.

lol...  Sorry I was defensive.

I'm not usually too proud to admit I messed something up, but sometimes I'm wrong about whether I messed up or not!  Usually I acknowledge my own mistakes so people know I'm aware of them.  But I was blind this time, and now I can see it.

Yes, the bed probably is too big.  I think I start out drawing the area around Harry, then leave the rest as I fill in the background.  Then finish the bed without taking into account that I haven't filled in enough space around it to keep it a smaller size.  if that makes sense at all!  I don't envision far enough ahead to properly draw it, sometimes.

I actually used reference for his head and neck... I don't think it is wrong, as he is looking downwards and holding his head back.  Like, tilt your neck back, and yet still look down.  Like leaning away from something without actually leaning.  Do you know what I mean?  That's what I was going for, perhaps it was an odd position to choose though.  But it's entirely possible I didn't shade properly enough to depict it realistically.  I drew it traditional and I was scared to ruin his face, so I avoided shading it.
