The final image from a Drawing assignment with the theme of The 7 Deadly Sins.

Basically, the woman is clawing at the peacock (a symbol of pride and vanity). The woman is trying desperately to hold onto her youth (via plastic surgery etc). But no matter how many face lifts you have, your hands will always give you away (she even has fake acrylic nails on). It's probably a little obscure. It didn't photograph as impressively as I'd have liked it to T_T Trying to colour this with thin little coloured pencils nearly broke my will to live. Or at least my will to ever draw again.

And sorry about the watermarks. I'm growing paranoid.

<sub>technical jizz: imported fabriano paper (approx 12 x 22 inches), watercolour pencils. references: real life peacock feathers and a google image search for a peacock. The hands were my tutors, which I then exaggerated.
