Although you have been listening to me saying I will slow down, no, you are not dreaming: I have another drawing today!
It's a drawing I made very quickly, comparing with the last one. Because this date could never pass in blank to me: Rupert Grint's 20th Birthday!
How couldn't I make something for him that, beside Ron, it's my great Muse! :D
Of course, I shouldn't even be telling you that they are like one in my work!
Because of this "connection" they both have in the drawings, that last year, when I made his Birthday Card for RupertGrint.net I tried to emphasize Rupert as the real and normal guy of his age, showing things that he loves and that every fan could easily see him on them as himself did.
I can't believe one year had passed since then!
I´m so happy about all the things we're reading about his new movie Cherrybomb!
And for this "gift" I choose to work over the only promotional photo we have for this movie so far.
A photo that I consider one of the best publicity moves made by any of the actors from the main HP trio!
While Dan's "Equus" photos had also their impact (and this last one made by Annie Liebowitz is wonderful) I think they don't have the same dimension of this single one made by Rupert, because we all know what happened and what was expect about Dan on "Equus"! While on this, the first reation of everyone that had looked at Rupert's "bloody face" was "What the hell happened to this guy?" and we still don´t know anything precisely!
The photo is perfect as it is!
I noticed that the answer for it by many of his fans was, that his eyes are so impressive on it that the last thing we see on it is the bloody make-up!
But the idea of this drawing came to me after this reaction of my youngest son, that is a fan of him since he was in diapers:
"Oh, Mom, what had happen to him? I can´t stand to look at his face like this!"
So I decided to challenge myself and made the drawing of him but without the make-up!
I also used gouache, the technique I'm experimenting lately.
It was really hard, one of the most difficult works I have done so far, and after about 19 hours with my computer screen open on the high quality photo, this was the result I got.
I ask you ever to consider that this is a drawing with all its limitations (but also the freedom of an art piece), not a photo, that at least made my son happy:
"Finally Mom you had healed and cleaned up Rupert!":D
This is also the drawing that is on its way to Rupert's hand with the gift RupertGrint.us (IceCreamMan) prepared for him this year, a beautiful scrapbook with many works made by his fans!
Fans that are crazy to see him as Ron in "Half Blood Prince" and got disappointed by its postponement, but also want so much to see him on this new movie, wishing and certainly knowing he´ll have a great career ahead because they, like me, know that
Ron will always be Rupert for many HP fans, but Rupert, will be much more than just Ron!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUPERT!!!
Wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
And hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone
So live like you mean it
Love 'til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone
Hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life
This drawing was made with gouache and watercolor pencils in a A4 size 180gr Canson paper. NO Photoshop.
I want to thank all girls from IceCreamMan site for had given me the opportunity to, one more time, have a work of mine on Rupert's hands, specially the lovely Michelle who had made the scrapbook work and Jo for all the support to my works on the site!
Thanks as always to Monica,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)

This drawing is not only dedicated to Rupert but also toautumngirls87, one of my first friends here on LJ, and to my lovely friend and daughter of heart Lely, lelymarques! We may be apart but you'll be always on my mind and heart! Happy Birthday to you!
The song I chose to listen while I was making this work has in his lyrics something that says a lot about me, him, us:
