The first time I drew a person was nerve racking, I was going to show my best friend Marina the finished drawing and I was nervous about what she was going to say about it.  I grabbed a piece of paper, a charcoal pencil and an eraser. I walked to my desk that was on the left corner of my room and sat on the computer chair, I turned on the computer so I could see the picture of Gerard way that I was going to attempt to draw. I felt my palms become shaky. I grabbed the cold pencil, I began to draw.
   

I drew the shape of Gerard's head and then his hair. Gerard Way is the front man of the band 'My Chemical Romance' sadly MCR is no longer together and has been broken up as of March 22, 2013. Then I has drawn Gerard's bleach blonde hair flowing down. My hand sliding back and forth from side to side drawing his body, the residue of charcoal sticking to side of my hand, making it black and somewhat soft. I put the finishing touches on his face and beginning his jacket, a jacket from the theme of their first album 'The Black Parade'.            

    His hair is white like the paper with black lines to show separation of strands. the sound of my hand gliding back and forth is scratchy and rough. the sound of music playing on my phone so its not too quiet, blink-182, 'The Enema of State'. Wiping my nose to rid of the annoying itch and charcoal slipping into my mouth, "yuck!!" I exclaim and spit into a trash can under my computer desk, then i drank three gulps of lemonade to rid the taste of charcoal still siting in my mouth, then I was back to drawing.

    A sudden gust of wind hit the back of my neck from the window. the hairs on the back of my neck raise. coloring in Gerard's jacket and I was done. I had finished Gerard Way.  I loved it. blowing off the extra charcoal on the paper. I stood up feeling the cold hard tiles beneath my feet, I walk to my backpack and place my drawing in my binder so I could show Marina my finished drawing.

    Arriving at school on monday looking for Marina, I see her, her brown hair dyed with red stands out from the other kids in the crowd. I yell to her "Marina!!" she turns and walks towards me.

"So wheres your drawing??" she asks.
pulling out the paper from my backpack I get paper cut from my math homework. ha. I hand her my drawing and she says:
"Oh my gosh its amazing!"
"Thank you thank you" I say sarcastically.
     "You should put it online and tag Gerard way, maybe he will notice you." she says while poking my shoulder.
     "Maybe.. but its 1 in a million chance of him ever seeing it".

    Once school was over i get home and post my drawing to twitter, I wished he could see it and a few hours later after posting my drawing Gerard Way comments on my photo and says "I love it!.. keep up the drawing". I was as shocked as an electrocuted person, my most favorite singer knows I am alive and that I've drawn him. I grabbed some tape and place my drawing to the wall.
