![]() Since the seventh grade, I have been a Florence and the Machine fanatic. I listened to their music everyday, memorized their songs by heart, and daydreamed constantly about them during classes. I was simply OBSESSED with their music, style and practically everything about them. When listening to their music, I felt like I was being taken away into another world far better than ours, albeit a lot of their songs have dark meanings, which is actually what made me feel so at home. With the flame headed songstress's ethereal voice crooning words of wisdom and truth, and the melodious and portentous harp strings in the background I was dizzied with awe and admiration. Florence and the Machine are an indie/alternative music band with Florence Welch as the lead singer. Their debut album is called "Lungs", which was followed by "Ceremonials". They also produced songs in several film soundtracks including Snow White and The Huntsman, as well as The Great Gatsby.

I seized the opportunity and did this portrait -pencil colours on cardboard- honouring both Florence, and Spring. ![]() Here is a close-up on the face. I was rather proud of myself after I had completed it, and I believe that I was entitled to, look at it! I know I didn't do great on some of the flowers and butterflies, but I did all that my seventh grade self could do........well maybe not. ![]() The drawing was inspired by the album art for "Lungs". I was mostly inspired by her pose, as it is clear that I imitated it in the drawing. Thank You!
