I felt a bit bad yesterday cos the next week I'm going to have to go to college again and I'll not have time to draw, so I just wanted to do something special on my last free weekend....I started a painting of one of the sketches I did these free days, but my tablet didn't cooperate with me and that was making a very difficult to draw when it should be fun.
And painting or drawing by hand at this point...it will be crazy because it will take a lot more time than a digital one
I felt so frustrated cos I there was so much I was feeling and I wasn't able to transmit any of that to a piece of artwork!! And I've had insomnia because all the week because of that ...Also because I'm a bit nervous about my comic

I was also trying to do an illustration of a character of mine and the love of his life and wife (yes is a rhyme ) because I've always yearned so deeply to make people to know how much these characters love each other, and how good friends they are...and all what they passed throught together and all the cool moments they lived...all that stuff I feel people would love to know ^^
I was feeling melancholic at that time cos I realized nobody cares about them or about sharing their story, other than me...and that me felt useless at that moment because I felt I didn't know how to do that....
I wish so hard people could understand how much love and warmth they share and I don't know how to express it...
And then when I was drawing it the night came and mom wanted us to go to bed, but I wasn't able to sleep last night. Although in part it was a good thing God made my mom want to sleep earlier that night, because if not the narration of when I was making sketches would have sounded a lot more sad

However, I tried to stay positive and think "sure everything will be better tomorrow" And I think being positive worked, since I was such a lucky day today cos this afternoon my tablet worked and I was able to paint one of the sketches I had done on last weekend. And now I feel very happy and in peace cos I was able to transmit my feelings for this character in this painting! And that's precisely what I wanted to do yesterday, to transmit what I was feeling, at least some of those feelings.

This time is Sebastian for the little mermaid, I think he's a cool choice for a painting. Of couse, this is not a "paint over" of a screenshoot or anything like, is my own drawing, I made it by hand from beginning to end.
The sketch for this was from the first weekend of my "little holidays", when the movie was on Disney channel and I felt a lot of nostalgia cos I haven't watched the movie in more than 10 years I think *chuckles* And the movie inspired the sketches of that day!

"And why drawing sebastian rather than other characters?" you would say. Because, believe it or not...I've always loved this guy!!! *chuckles*
But I have never told this to anybody...because when I was a kid and the movie was popular, nobody I knew liked him. There were the ones who liked ariel and flounder among my classmates, but sebastian wasn't popular in mexico. Even some of my classmates of elementary school said he was "annoying" "ridiculous" or "grumpy", and I never knew why they said that
When I was a kid I was a very shy, almost a socially awkward kid I'd say...so sometimes I was not as brave as I am nowadays, to say I liked something when nobody else did.

One time, when I was 6 or 7 I tried to talk with my classmates about that, and they asked me why and I just couldn't explain it!
"Because he's funny and coo and has a good heartl" I said. And they kinda made fun of what I said.
I remember being so upset and frustrated cos I knew it was NOT ONLY FOR THAT that I felt this character endearing! There was something charming about him and I knew it, but I just wasn't able to explain it, not even to save my life! And I thought "if I have said something more specific they would have understood why"

That was in part the why after that incident, I dedicated most of my free time to read a lot and to look for the words that were unknown for me at that time on the dictionary we had at home ( a Larousse that was blue, and half of my weight at that time, and I'd carry everywhere like if it was my favorite toy ) cos I talked with mom about what happened and she said, "if you feel you cannot express yourself, read. That way you will find new words and you will express yourself better" and I did it.
And everything I'd read I would find words I didn't know, and I would feel very excited to go to the dictionary to discover what they meant.
It was like a hobbie. (I bet nobody have had a hobbie like that as a kid except for me! ) but also I hoped with entusiasm that could actually help me to express my feelings and ideas better, and of course, that helped me with telling people about my favorite characters, and specially him.

But some time later I forgot about it I guess...or rather, I thought it was not necessary to tell people that cos I was happy with liking him and that was enough for me.
....Until that one weekend when I watched the movie again hehehehe! And then I reminded my childhood with this movie and the answer of "Why you like Sebastian?" hit my mind like an epiphany. like an lighting energy passing through all my body!! Then I thought "MON DIEUU I KNOW IT!!! I need to make an artwork of him to tell this on a solemn way!!"

So yeah this is why the drawing. And yeah, is the first time I draw him, since I never talked about him before to public, I never did a drawing of him before. I got reference for this from a video of the song "Kiss the girl" one of my most favorite disney songs.

Now seeing the movie as an adult I can express why I love him. Because now I realize even how such great hero he was! I've always admired all what he did to help Ariel to get her "dreams come true". He say all those dead fish and was about to die a couple of times because of ariel's subborn actitude.
And meanwhile Ariel was pretty selfish, not thinking about how her actions would affect others like flounder or sebastian or his family. Or the fact that her father spent those days looking for her on all the ocean.
Her dad had anger management issues of couse...but he did love her and was concerned for her, and she didn't think of that!

Seeing the movie with a more mature eyes have made me appreciate Sebastian and flounder even more that I used to when I was a kid. They were both such wonderful friends to her! And she decided to leave them for a guy she lust and had a crush on, a guy she didn't even know!! XD That's something I wouldn't do I think.

And sebastian always thought of her! Because she turned into human and he was about to turn back to the castle to tell her father that, he say her face...and couldn't help but feel bad for her. He care a lot about her, he wanted her happiness! That's why he stayed with her despite the horror he saw on that castle and helped her.
People say sometimes "he's grumpy and strict" but actually if you see with attention, he's just being fatherly. He's actually really heartwarming and he such a big soft heart! And I love him for that heart and his fatherly and protective side.

Also, I love him because he's an artist, he is a singer and a composer, that's very admirable. And not only that, but he's one of the few characters I've seen who had such an contagious passion for music you just couldn't help but adore!
I've always loved music as intensely as him, and his music always made my heart sing. ^^
I've always admired Sebastian's utterly amazing skills to improvise and compose music...and conducting every animal he'd find like if they were part of an orchestra! And make them dance with his music
When I was a little girl watching the movie I remember I wanted to compose music like him *chuckles* And I imagined people would want to dance with it

In the Spanish version he have such an awesome voice! Both when talking and singing. His accept is unique in both, spanish and english, thus so fun to hear. It was refreshing and so pleasant to hear.
And I just have listened the songs in english a a couple of clips from the movie with him in them...and I've got to love him even more cos I realized he's got an even more sexy and awesome voice!
Oh boy! even...I think in the original version is way sexier than the Spanish from Mexico's one!!
So that's why the painting is him singing, because is what I reminded the most about him all these years. I took reference from the actual clip of the song "Kiss the girl"

That song...Oh my that song! Is one of the songs I cherish deeply and I think is one of the most beautiful and amazing from Disney songs. And the most romantic songs from Disney so far, along with the Beauty and the Beast one.
I've seen all Disney songs translated to Spanish so after drawing that I looked for a clip of the song in English cos I was curious, and it was literally another world to me! A brand new world! It was even more impressive and romantic song.
From that song I loved the rythm, the melodie, and the rhymes of the lyrics. The melodie is so heartwarming and romantic that it gets to stick deeply in my soul and make me happy and relaxed. ^^

And from english I just loved how the songs includes "oh my" on the ryme, that's my favorite verse. I love when songs include "oh my" in their lyrics in a clever way. And in the background the flamingoes singing, I specally adore that!
...Sebastian's voice in english is sexy as hell! Specially when he's singing this song I'm talking about! See the video I don't lie! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrRbB-… For example, see when he says to the animals at the lagoon "sing with me now ", that part, THAT PART right there is just TOO SEXY OOOOOHH MYYYY!!! So sexy like to faint from listening it!
I bet if he would sing that in real life he would make girls faint

Also I love him for his expressions. I've always admired a lot disney's animators expressions on disneys clasics because when you see them you can actually feel yourself what the characters are feeling! That's something I deeply admire from disney and I hope I can do in on my drawings too someday. And I think the litte mermaid was the movie which character's expressions I was impressed the most when I was a kid. And specially sebastian expressions.
I was talking with a friend about this the other day and he said he has sexy eyes, and I couldn't help but giggle uncontrolably, because that is TRUE! *SHY GIGGLES*
He is so expressive with his face and also he has these little gestures of body language that are so elegant and solemn specially when he sings, and these others that are so shy and cute, that's just so beautiful...and that is why is sexy.
I didn't really noticed that he they were sexy when I was a kid of course, but the gestures were there, they were always there. And they were always awesome and so cool to me, and now as an adult I notice this more and I can express it out.

And you know what I find sexy a lot as an adult, appart of his body language and voice? Something people wouldn't consider sexy:
Is when he's is nervous and worried and he makes these little squeals and expressions that are just too cuteee!! that's why they are sexy, cute is the new sexy :giggles:
Like in the part where the king calls him to ask him about Ariel and his legs shakes, and he makes that little squee, heheh.
Watching a clip in English I noticed he wanted to say "yes". In Spanish you can't notice it, but in english you do He tried to say "yes?" but he was too nervous he led a squeal scape
You cannot say it wasn't cute you cannot!!! See for yourself www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcCb-r…

Now I'll go watch this movie in english on the first opportunity I can have cos the voices are awesome. Oh also I saw this video of Samuel Wright, who made his voice in english, and seeing him you can know why Sebastian is such an endearing characer. The guy is such a sweetie, when he said how much he wanted to work for disney when he was a kid, and his experience in the film, that melt my heart a lot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lamckb…

So yeah Sebastian Rocks! and And right now I'm the happiest person in the world because cos I finally can express why I love him! ^__^
