Ladytron - Predict the Day

Machine Spirit, as it was named by my boyfriend.

I find this a very good project for one gets to know more and more splendid songs. The moment I heard Predict the Day I thought of something very machine like, an android, a cyborg, something like that. And before any of you burst in with a commentary of the differences between androids and cyborgs, yes, I do know the difference. However, I ended up sketching a woman attached to something and started to think of cords, lots and lots of cords. I tried to draw hair to this lovely lass but I wasn't happy with any of the hairstyles I came up with, so I decided not to draw hair at all. Same happened with the eye brows. I am actually quite happy with the result, since I have never drawn a cyborg before. I remembered some of my friends' drawings of cyborgs and they were the other one of my main sources of inspiration.

I used both ink and coloured pencil in this picture. The woman is completely made with ink but the cords are coloured with coloured pencils, as is the very light shade of blue in the background. One can't even see it. Oh well... This time I can't even blame it on the scanner for I took a picture of this with my camera. Oh, and my boyfriend invented a name for the drawing: Machine Spirit. This might have something to do with Battlestar Galactica, which we have been watching for quite a while.

Here you can find the song behind the picture.

So many songs, only seven more pictures to go. Please, feel free to comment and suggest more songs for me to draw. Remember to be quick for I shall draw the first song commented in the newes post of this project.
