Description
Hello! I wanted to thank you all for all the comments and critique on my previous works :hearts: They're really helping me to understand what I could improve in my works and I'm definetely going to work on shading for my future drawings
Getting so much help and support surely makes me glad I joined Deviantart 
This is my attempt at making a surreal sketch! The theme was the three wise monkeys so I put an ear on the bronze one (hear no evil) I left the second one mouth shut with gritted teeth (speak no evil) and I made the eyes of the third one look blind (see no evil). I tried to experiment a lot on shapes and color combinations in this one but I'm happy with how it came out. It was also a lot of fun to learn about this legend and its interpretation in the japanese culture I also found out it originally came from China and I find it really interesting. The only thing I'm unsure about is the second face being upside down because It's a bit hard to see it well.
Let me know what you think about it!!
