The Wooden Man

This is one I did the same day. It is a man made of wood. I must say that I feel like this character must sometimes. Wooden, half-formed, a large hole right through the center, and a wistful look in the one painted eye he has. I drew him with green wood and brown leaves to add to the backwards feeling- green wood lives while brown leaves have lost all life force. You can't see it, but I like the way his skin looks like the grains of wood patterns but in different parts of his branch-like arms, it appears that bones are sticking out of very thin skin. Kind of reminds me how nature is doing these days- thin skin, a large hole, still living but dead leaves all around, metaphorically speaking of course.
