This is another mythology drawing I have worked on a while ago. The video will be in the bottom of this article, so if you want to give it a check before reading the post you welcome. It’s worth still going back to it, as I did spend quite a bit of time on it, with pleasure. However it’s a drawing where I can show the mythology style I’m enjoying working on at the moment.
In this drawing I had the idea of mixing Egyptian mythology with Buddhism. I do love Egyptian mythology and Buddhism religion. In the middle of the drawing I went with an Egyptian god, as it’s like he was inwards and the other 2 Buddhas emerging on the outside.
I love tattooing acient Egypt Mythology and Buddha Tattoos.
I love how Buddhism is about the now, live in the now, and find peace in the now, the now is all we have. And ancient Egyptian mythology was about spirituality, Egyptians I believe were probably the most spiritual civilisation ever lived before. They understood and worshiped the afterlife, they understood that the after life, and our reality, is not as separated as we perceive. Egyptians used to mummify the dead bodies in order to give the souls the opportunity to go back to their body and almost be in touch with the physical world.
Doing this drawing for me also was about learning textures. It’s important to draw an idea, and practise in a paper before attempting the skin, there are certain things that you can only learn if you draw. So drawing for me is a study, I would never attempt to draw anything unless I’m learning from the drawing I’m doing, so everything I do is with purpose and direction, with the intention to learn to better the outcome of my tattoos.
