# About me
Hello everybody,I am French & one of my favourite hobby is drawing. I especially create this account to thank all the fans of the very talented Spanish football player Fernando TORRES who run sites & blogs dedicated to him, thanks to whom I could find loads of pictures of Fernando to draw. :)
I have been drawing him for a little less than a year, actually more accidentally than on purpose as it was rather Sergio Ramos that I wanted to draw after watching the World Cup in 2010, but I wanted to test some new Derwent material & used a picture of Fernando instead, & it came out so good that I decided to do more, all the more as I noticed at the same time that he had scored a goal when I was drawing him. I got superstitious & decided to draw more to bring him luck, it worked a little at first & when he did not score, he gave assists to his team mates.
If you like Fernando, here are the main fansites that I follow :
gallery.fernandot.com/index.ph… : an amazing & very up to date photo gallery with thousands of pictures, from matches, training sessions, photo shoots, magazine scans, appearances, screencaps from adverts, etc..., with clubs or with the Spanish national team, containing many pictures in very high resolution ! A definite must !
By the way, if some of you know where I could write to them (I did not find a guestbook) to thank them & inform them that I put a link to their awesome site, I would be very grateful if you could tell me.
ftorres9.tumblr.com : a very up to date blog dedicated to Fernando where you can also talk about football.
fuckyeahfernando-torres.tumblr… : another very up to date blog dedicated to Fernando
daviniatorres9.tumblr.com/arch… : another very up to date blog dedicated to Fernando
These are the main sites that I regularly visit to find new pictures & they are fed themselves by other blogs & fansites. Many many thanks to you all for your total dedication to Fernando & for allowing all his fans to get the latest pictures & info on him.
And mostly many thanks to you for showing your support, especially when Fernando needed it. Support is needed when things go wrong, not when everything goes right. Things were not going too good of late & you always backed Fernando.
I am still surprised to see how people can forget all he has done until 2010 & that he unfortunately got very serious injuries. It takes time to fully recover & then to get confidence in a club in crisis ! Hopefully, thins are getting better in his club & Fernando is very fit & sharp again, the last two games were just fantastic, not to mention the goals ! Go, Fernando, we all believe in you !
And a very special thank to all the Chelsea fans who always showed their support to Fernando in the stadium, even when he was not scoring. I had heard & read about it for months, but I could really see it during the game last sunday against Leicester as it was shown live on the french TV, & when he scored, the stadium squarely erupted & went delirious ! I was almost crying of happiness for Fernando but what moved me even more was the Chelsea fans reactions who were cheering Fernando so loudly for really long minutes, even the french commentator said he had never ever seen that : so much encouragement from the fans towards their striker while he was not going too well. Really, a lot of respect to you all, mates.
Hopefully now, Fernando will keep scoring & Chelsea will win the FA Cup & the Champions league. That would be quite an achievement & a beautiful ''revenge'' after all they went through in the club this season. That is all I wish for them all & they can do it if they keep playing like they did against Napoli & Leicester !
And hopefully, Fernando will make it to the Euro ! Come on, Niño, you can do it, we all trust you !
And of course, Fernando's official site here : fernando9torres.com ,filled with lots of stuff & media (videos & newspapers articles), very interesting & both in english & spanish. :) who could ask for more ?
I also liked his books : ''El niño : my story'' (in english) & ''Number nine'' (in spanish). There are plenty of funny and moving stories (especially in ''El niño : my story''), also others not very funny (his injuries & how he left Liverpool in ''Number nine'') and very beautiful pictures, too.
I am normally not interested in football players &, believe it or not, I am not interested in beauty when drawing but in expressiveness. Fernando happens to be a very special person : a man of honor true to his convictions & values (could have played for Real Madrid to begin with & chose Atlético, for example), an extremely talented striker & yet, he still seems very humble by the way he speaks in interviews. Not his fault if on top of all that, he happens to be very handsome ! And has a killer smile. ;)
And last but not least, today happens to be Fernando's birthday, so ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, FERNANDO!!!!

¡Hola a todos! Soy Francesa y me gusta mucho dibujar, especialmente retratos de personas. Creé esa cuenta para agradecer a los fans de Fernando TORRES que tienen sitios o blogs dedicados a ese muy talentoso jugador, gracias a los que encontré muchas fotos para dibujarle.
Llevo un poco menos de un año dibujando a Fernando, a decir verdad no es él que quería dibujar sino a Sergio Ramos, a quién había notado durante el Mundial de Sudáfrica, pero quería probar nuevos lápices Derwent y... bueno, utilicé una foto de Fernando y el resultado me gustó tanto que decidí hacer más, tanto más cuanto que me di cuenta de que marcaba un gol cuando lo dibujaba! Me volví supersticiosa y traté de dibujarle lo más que pude, pero sólo funcionó un poco al principio,. Sin embargo, cuando no marcaba, hacía los pases decisivos.
Éstas son las páginas web que visito regularmente para encontrar fotos de Fernando :
gallery.fernandot.com/index.ph… : más completa, no existe! ¡Definitivamente un must!

Gracias a todas y todos por su dedicación que permiten a los fans de Fernando encontrar las últimas noticias y fotos de Fernando en alta calidad! Y sobre todo, gracias por estar aquí y apoyar a Fernando cuando lo necesitaba! :)
Y el sitio de Fernando : fernando9torres.com

NB : In case you wonder why my nickname is garrettfansite : I used to run a fansite dedicated to American actor Garrett Hedlund (link below), where I showed the oil paintings I used to make of him (amongst others). I have stopped painting due to lack of time, drawing with pencils is much easier & quicker & in the meantime, I have found a new & very inspiring model : Fernando !
If you are also a Garrett fan, I will draw him someday in pencils, but at the moment, I concentrate only on Fernando.
It might sound stupid, but I get very superstitious when it comes to football : I stopped drawing Fernando in october & november 2011 to make pastel & pencil drawings of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen after I saw him in ''The three Musketeers'' and then Fernando stopped scoring. I know there is no link at all but still...
I began drawing him again in january & he was man of the match for 3 games.
Then, I started drawing actor Jeremy Renner after I saw ''Mission impossible : Ghost protocol'' & everything went wrong for Fernando in february, so I did not even dare finish that Jeremy Renner drawing up to now !!! I might do it after the Euro 2012 !
And do not laugh, it is not funny at all !!!!! I dare not do anything else just because of Fernando ! But, of course, he is very much worth it & I have no regrets ! And if drawing him may bring him luck, then I will do it as long as possible !
