- ignore the timer it's very, very, very incorrect! someone *cough cough* kept distracting me all the time i was drawing. but i don't mind, he's the best kind of distraction
considering i've never even attempted anything like this before, i am more than pleasantly surprised with how it turned out! personally i think i did a decent job, especially at the lights. and oh lord those lights... it was fun, but i'll be having nightmares if i ever have to draw so many dots again. to put it into perspective, none of those lights are the same. all are individually drawn on the strings. save my soul
so, what inspired this? during the winter holiday i traveled to romania on my own (first time traveling alone, and first time on a plane!) to meet my long-distance boyfriend for the first time for a week, and since i got so many photos i decided to draw one of them. drawing helps me remember important memories i never want to lose, and every memory i made there means more than anything to me. i started this drawing mid january, and took a long break from drawing throughout january - march, but lately i've been working on finishing off sections of it and now i believe it should finally be complete!
and here's the photo it's based of! i tried to keep it relatively accurate to how the photo portrayed the scene, but in my own kind of style. please, do not claim this photo as yours. i will be deeply offended as i have many connections and memories to it. it was taken by me, therefore owned by me. the only other person who may use this photo is noirpocileh if he wishes to. after all, he was next to me at the time this photo was taken
