Description
There's room for only 2 men in my life:Charlie Chaplin, for obvious reasons...
and the ever so beautiful Jeff Buckley.
He was one of the few who could make people gasp for air with his music. While he stood on stage, holding his trustworsty yellow telecaster in his arms, he slowly bent toward the microphone to sing with his heavenly voice. As a result, people went silent and listened to his heart.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
that won't ever come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...
But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love from going wrong?
Oh lover, you should've come over...
I've been working on this drawing while listening to the Live at l' Olympia album. I got stuck in an artblock and personally the only way to get rid of it, is by either listening to music I like, or draw someone I love. I choose to do both.
I first made another sketch of Jeff, which is very dark, eerie and raw, and then decided to do an opposite drawing: light, beautiful and soft.
Drawn with 4H, H, HB, 2B 0.5mm mechanical pencils and 2H, H, HB, 2B, 3B regular pencils on A5 sketchbook paper. Tissues, cotton pads and Q-tips used for blending.
Approx 5 hours.
Another:
This is a dedication to 2 of my friends, fellow Jeff Buckley fans (:
- the wonderful and my long time dA friend *ffxauron
- and my dearie *thenizu

I've never heard of Jeff Buckley or heard his music, but your drawing is beautiful and the lyrics that you posted in the description has indeed captured me. It's been so long since we've really heard some actual deep meaningful messages other than the recycled shtuff we hear on the radio and TV these days. I hope we go to the days when words were sung with a purpose.

I love all your works, but this has to be my favorite- if not for any other reason than because it is Jeff Buckley. It's true what you said; his music makes people gasp for air. Your artwork is amazing; two artists combined together could never make a work more beautiful.

Ahh thank you. My drawing does no justice to his real beauty.
I wish I could show it to him. How lovely that would have been...!

on this paper, yes
It really depends on type and quality paper you're using. The one I'm using, HahnemΓΌhle Nostalgie catches the dark and light tones of pencils extremely well

I have no idea who Jeff is... but at first I thought this was a portrait of a younger Keanu Reeves.
It's so detailed and pretty like a pictuuure!! Great work.
What band is he fromm??

jeff buckley was a solo singer who died really young in a tragic way but he had the most beautiful voice... he did the greatest cover of leonad cohen's hallellujah.
you should listen to some of his songs you'll love him!
