I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be

'Til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize

That summer wind was all around me
Nothin' between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been another summer
When I have ever learned so much

We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in each other's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushin' headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night

I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again

Hah, to me it doesn't, but most people here in Texas think it does. You're funny, Pharoah. :) Thanks, ya'll.

'I suck at poses'...oh boo frickin hoo. you suck at nothing here. i love.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 27, 2005)
I felt green like that when I had way too many margaritas before. (I guess tequila made her clothes fall off, too?) lol I think the background you have is perfect for the subject, it doesn't take anything away from her.
Seklyan (Sep 27, 2005)
you always have amazing drawings.... this is no exception

This is for all of those who have been saying that there's been too much anime lately. ;P
The cross hacthing is really hard to do with a mouse. o__O Can someone tell me what using a tablet is like? I've heard so many different things about it ranging from they are the greatest things in the world to they're not any better than a mouse.

Oh yeah. Ref. "Drawing the Living Figure" by Joseph Sheppard.

Definately not anime... I wish I could do something like this my problem is I have neither mouse nor tablet and must resort to the stupid clumsy finger pad on my laptop... This is so good and I can't wait until its finished, but I am puzzled by how it can get better than this...
Seklyan (Sep 19, 2005)
oh completely excellent.
broken-lock14 (Sep 19, 2005)
*sigh* I wish I could create artistic things like this. Actually, I think a lot of people complain about anime not because they don't like the drawing style of a person, but because they often create completely non-artistic and unoriginal drawings, like hyper cartoon females with a title like "some girl" or "random". Good artists might draw something like this occasionally, but doing it to excess irritates some people. Though to tell you the truth, I find anime art to be an uber spiffy style. But that's probably because my drawing style is based off anime *shrivels into a ball terribleness* D= I feel like one of those non-artistic and unoriginal people now....

Oh, on a side note, I so want to try out a tablet (anything would be better than the mouse I have).
Caddris (Sep 19, 2005)
Heh, I draw anime-esque characters a lot too, so please, don't shrivel into a ball of terribleness. Anime is just a way of simplifying features and a lot of its appeal comes from the crisp lines and coloring. It takes skill to find the one perfect placement for the one perfect line. Sort of like Hemingway for artists. XD I would oppose with my whole being anyone who argues that anime is non-artistic.

haha, well.... i saw them at warped tour 2005 as well. they put on such an amazing show, and the crowd was unbelievable. i def recommend that if they ever go in the vicinty of where you live, you try to go cause it's worth it. I climbed a fence just to get a picture of gerard.. and me and my sis saw ray toro backstage... it was pretty awesome... i'm still gushing.. haha

Hi, my first draw here. I didn't use any reference just my imagination. Just vague memories of some art i saw that used bright red ink on a soft background, can't remember where though.

Could anyone draw this?
Drummer6 (edited Aug 6, 2005)
I suck at copying most pictures, so I was wondering, if anyone could draw Tubgirl? I think it would be funny to copy that picture and make it into an art work.

That is wicked Poppa! the reflections off of the cockpit make it look more like a painting. this is really cool!

Id have to say that this is your best plane picture so far. This one is my favorit. I think you should do some more modern jet drawings.. you do these so well :)
