I follow rivers

This has been an ongoing project. I just had to respond to this song. Its called 'I follow rivers' by Lykke Li. Its haunting, yet very beautiful. I love it. And I tried to illustrate it,

Used Biro, scanned and painted in Photoshop

  I had made several designs in Photoshop (about 15) before I was sort of happy with this one:

This is how I pictured the illustration to be, but I feel it doesn't work

Keeping it simple.

Lykke Li wasn't available to sit for the drawing, so I used a photograph by Daniel Jackson (can't access his website, but Google him)
Working on this illustration has somehow kept me sane for these past weeks. Its a personal project, but I'm happy to show it.

Saw the music video- directed by Tarik Saleh, for the first time today. Really good.  Somehow similar to how I imagined it.

Observations from the bus

On my way home today I took a bus with some very stylish people.

She had the most gorgeous red shoes.

He had a striking scarf.

Frames and hair

The textures from zen textures and the frame from About.com (link) Put together in Photoshop. Portrait done by me. Looking forward to paper cutting and some painting this weekend, provided I get my coursework done.
