Eve, an original character. This started out as just a person in a painting, but she inspired me to make her into a character in a story that doesn't comepletly exist, yet.

What conclusions do you form when you look at this? I wonder if that apple is bitter-tasting... or sweet.

Yellow if for energetic people and green for healthy ones. I don´t know, but if those where auras, then you have the kind of girl who can tatoo snakes on her and look fine.
The yes are a litle scary if you search too deep, but as always i liked it and the blue dress.
Send you my greeting and i hope to see more.

Best wishes!

sorry for the finger mistakes.
"Yellow is..."
"The eyes are..."

I think i was typing too fast.
Know something?
I never knew if the temptation came from the snake or the apple for Eve... good one.
I like when you put some smart in art. (an extra hug for that) :hug:

Thank-you! :hug: I don't usually put too much smart in my art, and it was really fufilling in the end. Thanks for the awesome comments, yours are always insightful and thought-provoking.
I read somewhere that two snakes biting each other intertwined represented some kind of balance or harmony, or circle. But I did it a little differently than what I saw.
I didn't know the feelings of yellow and green... what do other colours represent? It's good to know. I didn't plan the colours too much, I just hoped they looked good here.

I give you some examples i don´t own: :)
RED: Warmth, love, anger, danger, boldness, excitement, speed, strength, determination, desire, courage.
ORANGE: Cheerfulness, low cost, affordability, enthusiasm, stimulation, creativity.
YELLOW: Attention-grabbing, comfort, liveliness, cowardliness, hunger, optimism, overwhelm, Summer, comfort, liveliness, intellect, happiness, energy.
GREEN: Durability, reliability, environmental, luxurious, optimism, well-being, nature, calm, relaxation, Spring, safety, honesty, optimism, harmony, freshness.
BLUE: Peace, professionalism, loyalty, reliability, honor, melancholia, boredom, coldness, Winter, depth, stability, professionalism, honor, trust.
PURPLE: Power, royalty, nobility, elegance, sophistication, artificial, luxury, mystery, royalty, elegance, magic.
GRAY: Conservatism, traditionalism, intelligence, serious, dull, uninteresting.
BROWN: Relaxing, confident, casual, reassuring, nature, earthy, solid, reliable, genuine, Autumn, endurance.
BLACK: Elegance, sophistication, formality, power, strength, illegality, depression, morbidity, night.
WHITE: Cleanliness, purity, newness, virginity, peace, innocence, simplicity, sterility, snow.

Thus, cultural dependant, most people who study about the colors are told about, but more than told, is something from the inside. Psicological. Purple represent nobility in our cutlure, cause the culture we come from used to have that color for them, in some other parts of the world it would be a kind of yellow, but nevertheless red is fire, blue is water, brown is earth, cause is what we see around.

On the pesimistic side, sadly there are some parts of the world where children draw grey skies, cause is what they know (i know about some in mexico city)

Use color to evoke those things in a draw that has no lines to define, but yet you want there, even when you don´t need this advice, cause you already do that. I have confidence to see you growing even more. :hug: Nice day!

What beautiful smooth coloring you have, and the snake on her skin. I love the way you colored her eyes.
