Description
This is a drawing I've been working on for a while - it's A2 (as opposed to my usual A3) and has been tinted slightly in photoshop already. I'll post the finished colour version when it's eventually done.Related content

I might actually like this better than Salvador Dali's painting of the same scenario. Amazingly well done!

There were two popular saints named Anthony. This was the earlier St Anthony Abbot or St Anthony of the Desert (sometimes spelled Antony). The other St Anthony of Padua is very popular in Italy although he was originally from Portugal, and came to Italy to follow St Francis Assisi.

Fantastic...I always enjoy your subject matter and metaphoric imagery. Plus your choice of neutral coloring is always fitting to the context of the drawing.

Is brilliant as you have put the carrot between temptations.
(In the face of the temptations, we all are a bit rabbits, I think).

Thanks mate, glad you like it! The carrot also ties in with the characters with sticks - as in the stick and the carrot (where the carrot represents the pleasure principle, driving the animal forwards)

My pleasure.
Is true and, in a metaphorical sense, the carrot drives forwards the animal "man" in various circumstances of his life.

It's an A2 pencil drawing, with a few opaque layers of colour added on photoshop. Some of the elements in the image have been taken from my earlier work, but it's largely new.
