A few days ago while talking to Sarah, she told me she was having someone design her tattoo when she could get one, along the lines of musical notes and the word hallelujah. Since I haven't worked on a piece in a while, I chose to make my own rendition of what I would make it look like.
The instrument is the Baritone, which in fact would be a bit more elongated but I wasn't able to draw it entirely correct since I have not seen one up close. The music is of the song, Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright but originally by Leonard Cohen , where the lyrics would be "goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor falls, the major lift, the baffled king composing" then rather than finish the line, I put the beginning "Ha-lle-" and decided to cut into the next line. I personally like the image except for some issues since I penned over pencil making it look faded. I suppose that all I could do was give my best shot combining music and art.
that's really cool.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you do tattoo designs for friends, or is this your first? Someone asked me to design a freaking daffodil, fun :P I really love that song, plus American Pie by Don Mclean of a similar genre.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first, but I feel that a smaller image suits me a whole lot better since I don't need to focus on all the details and I can move on at a better pace.
