So there I was clicking next on the random phrases thing.

And this came up:

A wise man makes his own decisions, a weak man obeys the public opinion.

- A Chinese proverb.

So...what are your thoughts on that?

I liked it...

"God leads astray those he will"

I was just thinking about that because of the Yazid topic.

So i researched it and found this site: http://unveilingislam.org/7God-notAstray7.html

It's pretty good, but i'll just take the best points and add my own.

“We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to
make (things) clear to them. So Allah leads astray those whom He pleases and guides whom
He pleases and He is exalted in power, full of wisdom.” (surah 14:4) page 31

Well the site says that it's actually been misinterpreted if we take that to mean that Allah leads some people purposefully away and that actually it's not about THAT but about finding people to have gone astray.

Apparently this is the most listened to piece of classical music.

purely sketch again with tone but minus the pirate crossbones

pure sketching no wash effects

inspiration had american origins

experimenting with ink and wash here was at first a simple face but then added more tone and even more tone may have been ott but was just experimentation

used simple coloring pencils for this pic starting with basic sketch outline then adding more detail
