I guess it's appropriate to thank *moodymand for making me think of drawing a swan. She said that she'd imagine that I'd be great at drawing swans and I laughed at her and said that she doesn't know what she's asking for. The thing is that I still remember when I tried drawings swans last time. I was just a kid, probably some four years old, and I got so mad because I couldn't make their necks work at all. I guess I got a bit traumatized (just kidding ) and I never really tried again. After Amanda suggested that I should draw a swan I ended up thinking why not try once in every 20 years.

I had no expectations and now... I'm seriously loving this piece. I look at this and think it's one of the best things I've ever done. I cannot believe it. I sure didn't expect to have so soon an idea where I could use a swan but if you know where I stole the title from, you can guess what inspired this as well.

_{Colour pencils on black cardboard (or whatever it should be called, I don't know) and a couple of digital layers to get there the glowing magic I wanted. For so long I've wanted to draw on black paper but I never really have because I cannot be bothered to go and buy some. Luckily I found one suitable piece of black cardboard for this because I couldn't imagine drawing this on white paper. And now I'm pretty convinced I must go and get a lot of black paper... loved it so much.}
