"I'd like to hear you play," I volunteered.
"It's settled then." Esme pushed him toward the piano. He pulled me along, sitting me on the bench beside him.
He gave me a long, exasperated look before he turned to the keys.
And then his fingers flowed swiftly across the ivory, and the room was filled with a composition so complex, so luxuriant, it was impossible to believe only one set of hands played. (...)
The music slowed, transforming into something softer, and to my surprise I detected the melody of his lullaby weaving through the profusion of notes.
"You inspired this one," he said softly. The music grew unbearably sweet.
I couldn't speak. (...)
I glanced behind me, but the huge room was empty now.
"Where did they go?"
"Very subtly giving us some privacy, I suppose." (...)
The song he was still playing, my song, drifted to an end, the final chords shifting to a more melancoly key. The last note hovered poignantly in the silence.
"Thank you," I murmured. I realized there were tears in my eyes.

Twilight, chapter 15 "The Cullens"
by Stephenie Meyer


Finally!! This drawing was a bitch, seriously. In the end I had to take a picture of my boyfriend sitting on my piano to use as a reference (for Edward and the piano of course). My piano isn't a grand piano, but I improvised ;)

I wanted this to be very light, without a lot of shadows, or furniture or even walls, and kind of simple too. I added the texture to give the background a little something; I wanted it bare, but not boring. The wooden floor is a little "rough", but I wanted a bit of a vintage feeling and I think that and the texture help.

Bella should be wearing her hair in a ponytail, but I just love drawing her hair loose like that :D She's wearing that blue blouse Edward is so fond of, he he he he!

Oh, and this is IMPORTANT: this was VERY inspired by the song "River Flows In You" by Yurima [link]
I just love it as Bella's song and I know they won't use it in the movie, but it's still her lullaby in my head.

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor

But God can be funny. Haha.

I'm seriously in love with your recent pictures of Twilight. You're sooo good at getting the right atmosphere and the right expressions! This is amazing, and I have a feeling this picture is going to be very popular. <3 Keep up the great work.
(A River Flows in You is a beautiful song btw!)

That's really funny, that's exactly the same song I always imagined as Bella's lullabye...It's beautiful, they both are.

Awesome. I love this whole part of the book, when she meets the Cullens. :)
