I've been wanting to illustrate this song for ages and finally got around to it. It's much larger than I'm used to working with...so I had to scan it in several pieces...which is why there are a bunch of lines through it. Looks much better in person, as per usual. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. This picture was completely spontaneous. No planning with color or composition, no references...just put the song on repeat and started sketching. (Which would explain why the color and composition suck. XD)
"Picture yourself in boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalde skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds."
-The Beatles
Wonderful idea, very psychedelic (like the song itself).

Là nel vasto mare devi incominciare! Lì si comincia da ciò che è piccolo E si gode d'ingoiare i piccolissimi; Così si cresce, lenti, a poco a poco, E ci si forma verso più alti compimenti. ~Goethe
Thanks muchly! Anyone can do this with watercolors with a little bit of practice. If I can teach myself how to use them (sort of), then you can as well. :3
I propose we reincarnate The Beatles so they can see all the completey ASTOUNDING work you do with their songs. and cuz they rock too. But this si so beautiful....man.

For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue?

This makes me so happy.
I hope I can be half as good as you with watercolors someday
