~ The Speedpaint ~



Finally I upload something that isn't a doll u3u 
Have you ever found a band that perfectly embodies every aesthetic, sound, feeling, AND favorite colors you have ever loved?? Because The Paper Kites are like everything I ever wanted. I discovered them, maybe 5 or 6 years back, and each of their albums are like a different story, atmosphere, and universe. Their newest one, Twelvefour, is a pseudo-80's (a little early 90's) themed one about insecurities, and using music as a form of communication and a tool to overcome said insecurities. Also neon lights and night scenes.  If you like Kenny Loggins, Air Supply, or Bryan Adams...or more modernly, Walk the Moon, Lights, or Gotye, you will like The Paper Kites...or you will at least appreciate their Twlevefour album. 

SO I had to eventually draw something for a song on the album. This was really, really fun! I did my first speedpaint in a very, very long time. So, if you've ever been curious about my art process, or you just enjoy seeing other artists draw, then you might enjoy watching that. Unfortunately I couldn't use the Paper Kites' songs for the video (darn copyrights u3u) but I used equally wonderful 80's-esque songs by Swimming With Dolphins and one free one I found on YouTube that I liked.

I just really love that pseudo-80's aesthetic and this was my first time drawing it...I didn't want to make it 100% 80's, but in the same vain as the music videos where it feels like it could be the 80's but you can't really tell for sure. So I just went for big spiked hair, acid washed jeans, chuck taylors, the orange lipstick/blue eyeshadow combo, and a sort of 80's grunge feel. Also that is the best ever city skyline background and starry sky I've ever made thus far...I should do speedpaints more often xD I used this tut for the background and I think it worked pretty well...at least it got my idea across.

Moments like these are meant to be accompanied by a song like the one you chose as inspiration for this art piece. Swoon~ This really does bring out a sense of it being like a retro love scene in a music video where the couple kiss each other. All the kisses I also have to admire you for drawing these two in such hip and neat looking clothes which suit them well. YAY
