A Little Thing Called Love ;)

So here we are practically on the doorstep of one of the most fabricated holidays, in my opinion, ever. I just don't get Valentines day. I know, I know...a day for lovers right? Why be so heartless...I mean its totally NOT cause I've never gotten flowers or had a valentine or anything like that...cough cough, but that's besides the point. Every Valentines day the little girl in me squeals and gets excited and then the rational side has to calm things down; mentally slapping myself. Though this year I thought I wouldn't be such a downer and I'd post a couple love themed sketches, cause boy do I have a lot haha...so here we go. :)

 This first one is just a line drawing :s but whateva work your way up

I can't remember drawing this one haha 

(c)RachelAro2011

 "Kiss Me" 

inspired by the song "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer

Love the song, like the drawing :) 

(c)RachelAro2011

 "Purple and Red" 

as you can see by the crumpled state of this picture

it has seen some wear and tear, this one is probably 2 1/2 years old 

at the least...I'm not sure, however, I like the colors in the hair, and its kinda valentine's dayish

(c)RachelAro2011

"Dusk and Twilight" 

I came up with this idea awhile ago, pretty much Dusk (girl) and Twilight (boy)

are the children of Night and Day who are sworn enemies. Dusk and Twilight fall in love, 

but Night and Day try their hardest to keep them separated, however much to their dismay, every day

as Day fades to Night, Twilight and Dusk are allowed to meet creating a sunset. 

Its kinda cheesy, but kinda cool (I think) in a way. 

My scanner kinda screwed this one up though, its still one of my favorite pieces.

 Max and Angel - Power Struggle

from the book series Maximum Ride, if you've read this series you

know about Max and Angel's almost constant power struggle

seriously someone needs to whack Angel upside the head

or at least give her a time out. Remind her that she's six and NOT the leader.

anyways. Characters belong to James Patterson. Drawing belongs to moi.

 Mortal Instruments - All Together Now

excuse poor quality this picture is via my phone :)
