Ok so I know its cheating but I thought I'd write a poem instead this time ^_^
Sitting Alone and wondering why
The clouds can drift so idly by
They don't care at all, for whats down bellow
Instead they roll across the sky
Its times like this I try and find
A reason for my sitting time
The time I take out of my day
for thoughts to drift so far away
Just a Word
But asks so much
Just an answer
That means so much
Just a word
You hear too much
Too hard to answer
so you gave up
So here I am, you still feel near
I look to see your still not here
I turn instead towards the sky
to envy clouds drifting idly by
Hey Lesley.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful art you got here :)
Your colors are awesome and your pencils great.
Cheers to your skill.
Say hi to Luke, once you get through his little onion layers, he is a great guy and a worthy friend :)
Wish you all the best,
Cheers,
Milenko
Thanks Milenko! Yeah he's become a very good friend (right Luke ^_^)
ReplyDeleteI'll sure say hi to him though - thanks again, and keep us posted with life after corporate chaos ^_^
You do very solid work! I really like your sense of character and story.

JV
Wow- thanks JV! that seriously means a lot coming from you!!
ReplyDeleteThe blog looks great, Lesley! I really like the color in your work. Is it watercolor or digital?
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! I really love your blog header!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve! - Its digital - but I try and make it look like watercolour and pencil cos I prefer the more traditional feel ^_^
ReplyDeleteI like the way you coloured this piece, nice lighting on the clouds
ReplyDeletecheers to you

i like that your blog features your art. what i think would be really cool would be a storyboard kind of thing! a drawing each day (or every few), depicting scenes involving a character in some sort of ongoing story. maybe your blog readers can suggest what theyd like to see next and you get to choose from the suggestions what you want to illustrate!
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work,
clayton
IZA - Thanks! ^_^
ReplyDeleteLuke - Thanks, yeah it took me a couple of tries to get the concept right - like what colour the light would be etc.. glad you like it ^_^
Clayton - Hmm, storyboard may have to come later... when I feel a little more confident with my ability to tell stories in the one image - that vignette sort of feel, But your more than welcome to suggest ideas! Thanks for having a read so far ^_^
Really digging the look of this one chica!
ReplyDeleteWait... so when did this happen in your childhood? I vaguely remember you telling me about that brief stint when you were like 10 or 11 and receiving flying lessons and hopes of becoming a full-time dreamer? ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, really superb work on the illustration and the poem!!! And Lel, I'm really blown away by all the updates, but don't forget about your other blog - she told me she's a bit lonely.
Thanks Matt !
ReplyDeleteYeah Tone, I can't believe I didn't tell you about my cloud chasing days - it was a while back, ~sigh~ good times ^_^
You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks Rawls! ^_^
