fragile peach

Peach,
I’m no entirely sure why this pretty little thing came out the way she did but I just wanted to draw more open stomach *free butterflies* kinda image. I adore this concept I seem to have adopted from years of drawing and all sorts of inspirations and influences.

The freeing of the butterflies from the stomach ripped open means very much to me; it can mean the changing of ones self within, Letting loose those nerve wracking stomach butterflies or illustrating beauty is deeper than the beauty on the outside.
This little doll like girl looks lost and confused about her own beauty within…

I had realised even though this kind of imagery is one of my favourites to use I had not done a refreshed version of my older image below.

Pretty as a peach,
With her heart full of sorrow,
A rock in her bow
And a thorn in her furrow.

Drawn with faber castel watercolour pencils,
No water added.
Original on A3 sized paper.
