The Solar System Series is a collection of 11 drawings featuring the planetary symbols. Each drawing is filled with symbols and details about each planetary body. I'll elaborate on the details of each drawing so you can really appreciate the symbology I incorporated into each piece.
(This collection was inspired by a similar series I completed months ago, titled "The Zodiac". )

Although I'm sad that this series is concluded, I'm so pleased to see the final results of all my hard work. I've had some ideas for expanding on these series. (Making them larger, and painting them in full color.) It will be a while before I can re-visit these collections of drawings and update them, but I'm already looking forward to it.
peace & love,

These are awesome! I love Saturn best. I applaud you for being able to do such intricate designs! Every time I try to do similar things I get frustrated and scribble over everything. I suppose that's why I don't draw..
ReplyDeleteThese would look fantastic in color, too!
That's so funny, Saturn is my favorite one too!
DeleteI know just what you mean. Drawing has a big learning curve requiring lots of patience and practice. It can be such a tedious skill to learn!
Thanks for your compliments!
