those who speak do not know

Elizabeth Bennet

"This is not fair. You wish to think all the world respectable, and
are hurt if I speak ill of anybody. I only want to think you perfect,
and you set yourself against it. Do not be afraid of my running into any excess,
of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good-will. You need
not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I
think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with
it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human
characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of
merit or sense." (Ch. 24) Pride & Prejudice

My first attempt with Charcoal & Pastels. 30 mins.

Elinor

I've trying to make portraits just in ink, with no previous pencil/charcoal sketch work.
So far this one took 20 mins with a fine & ultra fine sharpie.

Inspired by Elinor from Sense & Sensibility...

Barely Breathing

Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing

Have you ever started doodling non-stop through a whole song? Well I did. And in this case even though the pic doesn't have the best quality you get an idea of my ranting...it includes the whole lyrics from Duncan Sheik's - Barely Breathing

I should scan my drawings mmm... I remembered the Friends episode where Phoebe said after she finished her song in Central Perk:

"If you want to receive e-mails about my upcoming shows, then please give me money so I can buy a computer"

...so in this case it would be, if you want me to scan my drawings, please donate so I can buy a scanner! haha....

Sentimental Heart

When you got a sentimental heart
Piece of the puzzle
And you're a missing part
What can you do with a sentimental heart?

She And Him - Sentimental Heart

This one is for the rainy days...

Spring came, rain fell
we ended up nowhere

S Club 8 - Spring came, rain fell

I don't know about you, but some rainy days if you are in the right mood its nice to hear some "rainy" songs.

My playlist would have to include:

• Travis - Why does it always rain on me?
• S Club 8 - Spring Came, Rain Fell
• Prince - Purple Rain
• Guns & Roses - November rain
• Radiohead - High and Dry

Too much Jane Austen for me?

...nah...perhaps its just 'cause I watched the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice & read Sense & Sensibility for a couple of hours...yeah, that must be it :P haha...

Take the Quiz here!

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Who do you see looking back?

Take a look at yourself in a mirror who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be the
person you were meant to be but fell short of?
Is someone telling you you can’t or won’t? Because you can.
Believe that love is out there.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends
and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy
because you deserve to be. Believe that.
And believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
