"Two households both alike in dignity
In fair Verona where we set our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life..."

I LOVE drawing the contrast between these two. They really are Fire and Ice... So much fun. Some tips I have for drawing these two star-cross'd lovers: When you're editing, bring Gin's saturation up as far as you can while still having her look natural.  Draco should have higher contrast, in the same respect.

I also like having Ginny tanner, with a redder skin tone, than him, even though being a redhead, she should be pale too. Usually, I also like her to wear something with a reddish tone and Draco green or black. Stress cool colors/warm colors as much as you can. Especially in Ginny's hair. In my opinion, Ginny's hair is the most fun thing to draw in the entire Harry Potter series. Use your artistic liscence to stretch "fiery red hair" as far as you can. I love drawing it because I get to use tons of different colors. White and yellow for highlights, red and magenta and sometimes even purple for lowlights. Great fun. ^_^ Just remember: (one of my pet peeves here) Weasleys have fiery red hair. Lily Evans has auburn hair. That's a dark ruddy shade. Not all redheads are actually red haired.
