That Smile by fastback73 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This is a picture of Katie Holmes... I just thought she was great in Disturbing Behavior. I loved the attitude with the leather jacket. I drew this because I thought it was a great example of a wonderful smile.

8 1/2" X 11", 2hb, 3b, 4b, 5b, white pencil and paper smudge sticks along with toilet paper and 3 different erasures. My last picture I will ever do on 60lb paper... I will be using only 110lb in the future.

The picture I worked from was not very good and I think it shows in the work... Not one of my best but I do like the subject and the smile... enjoy!

P.S. For this piece I think it is best viewed while listening to "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day.

Not that I think the words fit the picture but more that I drew this during a difficult time in my life. The past few weeks have reminded me what it feels like to be alone. A feeling I am too familiar with. Drawing this picture has put a beautiful smile on a dark time.

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk away!
