Today finer detail.....

So today have been working on whats inside the crystal ball and as I previously mentioned for me the crystal ball is all about inner site trusting your intuition and opening your mind and third eye to enable you to have clearer vision...

So below is my '3rd eye as how it may appear in the ball.. or which I will surround with a pink glow..

The eye has all these vibrant purples to represent the colouration seen in representations of the 3rd eye chakra or Ajna chakra. Purple also being a deeply spiritual colour this is also to bring this into play too.

Moving back from the crystal ball emphasis to  the 'fortune teller' hands aspect, I hope people will be able to relate to the fortune teller being a show woman. In the old circus/carnivals she was highly creative in her actions, with her costume and using her words. She want to inspire people and another meaning I wanted to bring to this card whilst incorporating my theme which if you hadn't guess was circus-carnival theme.

The pink haze as I often see colours in the ball was to represent the heart chakra and to see this would be to reflect its open nature. I touched upon in the words with my original sketch that the fortune teller also brought with it this feeling of naivety with it as people who visited were often a little innocence and really hoped these predictions would come true not knowing if the reader was genuine or not.

Just to add I will probably lose the eyebrow in the final drawing once inside the ball... and probably go for more of the one eyed cyclops feel ;)
