Description No wai, a traditional drawing? :0 *le gasp*

yes! Occasionally I do color my drawings with colored pencils! Anyway, this was a piece for an art class weekly assignment thing. We basically could do whatever, and I choose to illustrate some lyrics from my favorite song, by the best band EVER! The picture here is based from the music video (best mv ever as well) so it's very heavy referenced. I don't normally like copying poses and such like that, but my teacher's overly strict about realistic stuff (anime hater type) so it worked. Hate his hands, messed up on a spot on the pants, rushed background, but despite that I love it. :3 And yes, I traced the lyrics with pen, the only thing I did on the computer was add the copyright.

Watch the MV to understand it!!!!! -----> [link]

Paper Thin Hymn
By: Anberlin

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember
to kiss the ones you love goodbye

You never know what temporal days may bring
So Laugh, love, live free, and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the Lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

Friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
(And over and over)

These thoughts run through my head

I love the picture. I also happen to love the song.
Both remind me of my late friend Andrew, who was in a wheelchair.
