Description
This is a rough sketch/doodle/draft for a character I'm working on. If you're confused by what you are looking at, then the drawing is having the intended effect lol (I'll attempt to explain the basics in a way that doesn't confuse you).

The center drawing is a combination of three faces, from three distinct angles. The two lower pyramids are actually two separate entities, although it may not be obvious from a quick glance, and the top pyramids have a different purpose.

I took various spiritual concepts, mostly based around the principles of the divine masculine, feminine etc. combined them with other concepts, ideas, and began to manifest them in my own way onto a physical canvas. Ex: The dark side of the faces represent the yin/ feminine, while the white side represent the yang/masculine. The same is represented by the sun and moon, with the sun being masculine and the moon being feminine.

However depending on the culture, and how far into the past you delve, the roles are reversed, with the moon being the masculine and the sun being the feminine. Which makes sense once you have an understanding of certain energies, concepts, what it represent, and how they work etc.

The sun and moon in close proximity to one another, or in the case of the middle mask, with the moon cradling the sun, are meant to represent the divine union of these principles and energies in harmony. The sun and moon in this drawing are also representing the illumination of the soul.

For the middle face, I referenced the mask of comedy and tragedy, put my own twist on it while combining it with these divine principles manifested onto a physical canvas. (view it from the left side). The face at the very top is upside down.

The center faces and how they overlapped are based on diagrams of the archetypes of the collective conscious, unconscious, etc.

Those are a few of the basics, if I go into too much detail, I'd be here all morning, and you all probably wouldn't read it all.

I've been using a combination of Prina soft white charcoal, Arteza medium white charcoal, and Arteza charcoal pencils. The first two layers of black were completed using Mr. pen sketch pencils, before beginning to add arteza charcoal.

The drawing is on prina toned tanned paper for now.
