I could think of no better way to describe the poor Weasley family post-DH than simply that: Fredless.
This was honestly the hardest-hitting human death for me in Deathly Hallows (Dobby and Hedwig? Oh, tears!), and the family's grief was just leaping out of the page at me. I could see it so vividly in my head. I imagine George feels lost, a bit numb and shocked. The women -- Ginny, Molly, Fleur -- are all the most visibly upset.
The actual sketching took the longest; I put more work into that than the actual coloring. For that, I opted for a muddied sort of feel, with the brightest and most vibrant colors being the trademark red hair and Fred's Gryffindor cloak.
And as a sidenote, I really love how Charlie came out.
ETA: I completely forgot to add this in my description, but yes, Ron's not quite there yet. I had originally intended to make him a shadow in the background, heading toward his family, but that wasn't the way I envisioned it originally. When I thought about the family gathering around Fred, I imagined seeing them from behind, through Harry's eyes. And across the room, Ron -- I couldn't even begin to describe the sadness as he sees his family and slowly heads over to grieve with them. But yeah, so that's why there is no Ron! I suppose this would be his point of view!

Beautiful- and sad. And I think your pic touched more than JKR words. You are right on what you said about Dobby and Hedwig- those were the only deaths that I feel sorry/sadness too.
