Description Almost every single day I open up Paint or GIMP, start a sketch and 90% of the time it gets scrapped. Well, I was drawing and that picture was originally a sketch. I liked how it looked and I was afraid that adding the lineart would just ruin it so... the sketch is the picture.

The Butterfly Project became a special cause to me. One day at a winter retreat for church this kid started a thing where alot of the kids drew butterflies on their wrist(s), even if they didn't cut themselves they did it for him. I did it for him too. And every so often I draw butterflies on my wrist when he pops up in my head (or I do because I need that butterfly sometimes too....)

I'm sorry for posting so much, especially since most of the pictures that I've been posting aren't like big projects or anything.. Mostly things that pop in my head. (I'm supposed to be posting these kind of pictures on tumblr...but I don't got alot of followers on tumblr and I figured a pictured like this should be viewed alittle more.) Tomorrow I'll put in my scraps.... (and draw a better much prettier version of this picture some day)

Thank you. I'm glad that you like it! The butterfly project is something very important to me. (And didn't know that your favorite color is gray. o.o)

Hmm~ The butterfly project is a good way to catch cutters while they're ahead. When they get addicted its a lot harder to stop.

It's a nice picture, a tribute to the project.

Thank you. And yes, that is true... The one kid I met who cut seemed like he was doing it for awhile... But seeing him overcoming it, and seeing him and the other people draw butterflies on their wrists for him I think gave him alot of encouragement and stuff.
