Till The Stars Fall From The Sky
Today was actually a decent day. Crystal and I went up to Polaris, so I finally got to return those crappy colored pencils I paid 7 bucks for a couple weeks ago at Michael's. Then we got a Birthday Cake Remix at Cold Stone (HIGHLY recommended, fantastic ice cream), and discovered the most wonderful store that I had never known was so cool, the name of which I am not going to tell you because I don't want it to suddenly become some new "thing" which many poseurs swarm down upon. So I am keeping it a secret to myself (and Crystal, obviously), to avoid any and all possiblities.
Today was a very Doors-y day, because at this cool shop I bought this great poster of Jim Morrison in the whole "American Poet" stance, only it's painted and colored and it's got a skull and a bottle of whiskey and some other stuff in the background, it's so awesome. Then on the drive home the same Oldies station played Touch Me, and then like two songs later, Light My Fire. !!! We were quite psyched about that and did a little screaming. They never play bands twice in a row unless it's a Beatles Twin Spin. =D
The last incident of the day was after we came home from getting pizza at Godfather's, I found Crystal in her room with the beginnings of a drawing of my dearest Jim. I stuck around and helped her out and below you will find what we ended up coming up with. I did the mouth and helped with alot of the shading. She did the rest--including the completely amazing jaw line. That and the right eye are the best parts, I think. The hair's kinda crappy, we know, but hey--hair's hard, especially curly hair like his.
The more I look at it, the more he's starting to look like a monkey. Oh well. Considering neither of us can really draw and we did it in like an hour, I don't think it's too bad.
Here's a version of the photo we were modeling it after. Except our copy was made to look faded, which is why the drawing has alot less lines than the photo.
Honest comments would be appreciated.
So that was my Doors-y day. "Come on, come on, come on, come on, now touch me babe...." ;) Sweet dreams...

NEITHER OF YOU CAN REALLY DRAW???
If I could draw HALF that well, I'd be ecstatic.
And that's an honest comment.
