Description my my...ain't he a distraction
Actually this whole picture was a distraction for me while I was in the middle of all these crazy exams
He kept me sane

I painted this bit by bit for about two months but it was heaps of fun to do XD
I'd say the hardest part of the whole process was thinking of what to paint on the shelf...it's blank emptyness..mocking me...o_0

Tell me if you can recognise any of the books ^_^
Enjoy!

OMG!! I adore this picture. I recognize Kite Runner and City of Glass both good books. I love the shelf in this painting it makes it seem so real with the details and all. It looks like something any normal person would have in their room. Monopoly is one of my most favorite boardgames of all time and spying it in this painting just made me love it even more. And my, my isn't he a distraction-cough he is freaking hot-cough. This pic=LOVE.

Well, isn't he a sultry little thing to take in~

I really love all the details, especially little things such as the denim texture on his jeans and how the titles on the books actually look gilded.
