" Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies. Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war. Demons run but count the cost; the battle's won but the child is lost. " River Song

I was watching P!nks new music video and i realized that she is the only super attractive woman i know who can wear a corset and garders like they are normal and not like she is trying to be sexy. heck she strips off a dress right infont of you and it looks normal. i love her =]

Day 1 of 30

So i am going to try to do a 30 day drawing challenge. my friend sent me this which is the parameters of one that he is going to try to do. Sorry about not siting the source, i don't have one.

i'm putting this up here so that if i lose it on my desktop i'll still be able to find it =]

So as you can see Day 1 is a self portrait. well this happens to be my least favorite thing to do. i just HATE looking at myself for that long. its not that i have low self esteem or anything, it just feel narcissistic to stare at pictures of myself. one can tell that i don't dislike myself because practically all of the girls i draw look or dress like me. i just.. i don't like staring at all my constellations (nickname for strange clusters of freckles) so... Chad this challenge is KILLING ME!!! and it will kill me on day 9 as well.

so here it is....

Best Wishes!

SO! second song on the Jukebox the Ghost CD that really hit me was At Last. there are so many images that i wanted to put on paper from this song, i finally decided on the "Picked up, kissed and twirled". this song actually makes me think of two people i know so it was rather difficult not to draw them. anyway here is the song and the sketch:

i couldn't find any references for a guy kissing and twirling a girl so sorry if it looks kinda weird.  at some point i will need to get some couples to pose for me so i can have reference photos. Google seems to not have what i want these days. oh yeah! Lyrics! i can't find them online so this time you need to listen lol =]




BEST WISHES!

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.” ― Saul Bellow

Jukebox the Ghost came out with a new CD called Safe Travels. May I state that I love this CD? so here is the first song I've drawn. its called Man In The Moon. here is the link for the music.

Lyrics!
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jukebox_the_ghost/man_in_the_moon.html ]

The face in the moon
I can see it in the water, too
I can see it just the same as you
But I can't be there with you

Sleepy eyelids
I could write a song for you
I could buy you roses, too
But I can't be there with you

Water, leads to water
Water leads to rivers leads to oceans leads to you
But are you in love with someone,
Are you in love with someone new?

Oh, you,
Such a funny girl but oh, so blue
What are you supposed to do
When I can't be there with you?

I'm the man in the moon
Far away it can't be true
And I could say the same for you
And why on earth would you?

Water, leads to water
Water leads to rivers leads to oceans leads to you
But are you in love with someone,
Are you in love with someone new?

Are you in love with someone,
Are you asleep with someone,
Are you in love with someone new?

depressing

I'm finally happy with this one. still makes me cry and miss Hannah.here is the song, and here is the picture.

best wishes.

So here is a link to the music that goes with this sketch. its "I Will Go Anywhere With You" by Julia Nunes. As usual there were so many images that came to mind when i heard this song that i had a really hard time starting. this is what ended up on the paper- well..part of what ended up on paper. the rest needs more work. here it is!

my favorite part is his funny hand and the look on his face.  by the way they are married. i meant to show their ring hands but it didn't work out on either of them.
best wishes!
bye!
