Description "It's Not My Time"

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me loving all of our friends
Living life like an ocean
But now the current's only pulling me down
It’s getting harder too breath
It won’t be to long and I will be going under
Can you save me from this?

Cause it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won’t go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh but I'm taking them back
Cause all of this time I've just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friends this life we live, it’s not what we have
It’s what we believe in

Cause it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me but it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won’t go
I won’t go

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now it’s gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But I won’t go
No I won’t go down
Yeah

I was listening to this song while cleaning up this picture, I thought it fit the picture almost perfectly.

One of the many portfolio images I have been doing for my Visual Arts class at school, this one and a few others I have been messing around with mediums. I used my velocity bic gel pen, then ran over it with a paintbrush and water to give it sorta a wash. Then I finished it at home by adding a little watercolour, though, those ink splotches had been red, but I changed my mind, and coloured them in with my pen again, since I didn't like how the red looked with the rest of it. I like how it turned out, especially the mane, since I took forever to ink it. In our hour and a half class, I only got part of the mane inked, and had to do the rest at home.0.o

Feedback welcome!
(Yay for artists alliance!)

this is so totally awesome! i like how when you washed over it, some of the red still came out, giving it a bit of a red tint. it gives it a nice effect.
Yu've inspired me to try something a bit like it. if you dont mind of course?

I don't mind! I don't own the rights to do random washes over sketches, so I have no issue, lol, so long as you didn't trace my picture and whatnot to make yours. Hey, get back to me with the link to the finished product, eh? I wanna see what you come up with!

This is beautiful ! I love the movement in the horse's mane and his expression. You did a great job with the pen and ink, the water colors turned out great for the piece (I especially like the grays in the grass!). I also like how you blurred the horse and rider in the background, it looks like they're fading away on the wind!

*sigh* I need to work in ink more. It's so pretty, but it scares me! *clings to pencil and eraser*

ink isn't that hard to use. Just sketch in pencil, then outline it in ink, then go from there.

I've done that, it's not so bad, but some of my art teachers are telling me to use ink for shading. I'm just no good at it.

I've never been able to figure out how to use ink for shading, so I just crosshatch lots, then water it down somewhat....XD
