Description
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in a yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are naugh-a-hyde
I've been waiting for an hour
I can't find a place to hide
The being known as wonder girl
Is speaking, I believe
It's not easy trying to tell her
That I shortly have to leave
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free?
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me? (she's a wonderful lady)
Why don't you stop and see? (and she's mine, all mine)
Why don't you hate who I hate, (and there doesn't seem a way)
Kill who I kill to be free? (that she won't come and lose my mind)
Why don't you cut your hair? (it's too easy humming songs)
Why don't you live up there? (to a girl in a yellow dress)
Why don't you do what I do, (it's been a long time since the party)
See what I feel when I care? (and the room is in a mess)
Oh. My. God. This took three days to make. I had a lot of trouble with the layers, and I ended up botching up the line art. At that point, it was too late to do anything, so now my lines aren't anti-aliased.
I can't even remember the last time I drew all the Monkees. Drawing everyone from different distances (idk the technical art term bear with me) was a BITCH. I'm pretty sure I made Mike Nesmith's head too big, but I still think he looks pretty good as a whole.
On another note, I hate drawing instruments!!! I think Mike was the hardest to draw because of his goddamned guitar. My sister was giving me lip before about not drawing Peter Tork's hand tattoo, so if you'll direct your attention to his right hand, his tattoo is very much there. Also, I still can't draw hands.
This picture is supposed to be from this frame of Randy Scouse Git.
I found the patterns for Micky Dolenz's poncho and Davy Jones' Nehru jacket here and here , respectively. Cause I can barely draw as is. Please don't sue me.
Feedback would really be appreciated!! Cause again!! Three days!!!!!
8-1-18: Hey guys! I noticed the rainbow room didn't look too accurate, so I decided to redo it. Enjoy!
