Illustration Friday - Quiet


My take on quiet this week is to draw "Hear-No-Evil", one of the three wise monkeys. He's enjoying a quiet bath in a natural hot spring.

This kind of monkey (Japanese macaque) watched humans having hot baths and decided it looked like a good idea, so now they like to have a dip too.

The other idea that came into my head with this topic is the way in which we're besieged by noise - so I thought I'd draw an oasis of quiet in the middle of the noise. Unfortunately, it couldn't all fit on my scanner, but it was fun to draw.

I like these both very much! What great ideas. That monkey is one of my favorite species of monkey. And the sound of silence in the midst of chaos is genius!

A hot tub sounds good right now! And that monkey makes it look so appealing. Nice work!
