It’s no secret that I rediscovered my favorite band, Yellowcard, again. So, whatever goes on in my life, whether it’s influences music-wise, or a book I might be really into, a movies I’ve seen, feelings I’m going through, disturbing little thoughts I need to project digitally on a screen or a paper sheet to get it out of my head – it all represents a small part of me, my life and in a way who I am. So…in other words, hope you deal, ‘coz I’m having a dose of YC at the moment. 
On to the real ranting of the day…
My friend on Twitter had requested for me to do a drawing of Yellowcard’s guitarist Ryan Mendez a while ago. So she found me this really cool reference photo that I used (all credits to the owner of the photo!), which was originally black and white, but I wanted to add some color on the drawing once I had everything done, only because I felt that though there was enough contrasts in the drawing, Ryan kind of “faded” away due to the background I made up. So, as you might have noticed, my “thing” (or whatever you wanna call it) for a while has been to throw in just a few hues into random parts of the drawing to kind of bring out a character or a figure. This time I decided to keep it simple. Randomly went on Twitter and asked for red or blue, and got a lot of red- responses (though I doubt you all knew what the freakaleak I was on about 
) SO…blah blah blah, and red became the color of his shirt. Gotta love Twitter.

The background…interesting, because I had never any intentions of making an exact copy of the photo (in which case I could just have posted the freaking photo, riiiight? Right). So made a black/grey scaled background that hopefully brings more life to the drawing and gives it a “stage” kind of vibe to it.
Well, hope you guys give this a thumbs up!
