Medicine

This was my final project for a figure drawing class back in college. I believe the year was 2011 (fall). We had to illustrate a word. My word was “medicine,” and so I draw a woman creating a medicinal vapor with the help of snake spirits (snakes being symbols of medicine). The woman’s hair was loosely inspired by hair decor worn by the Nez Perce, aka Niimiipu, tribe.
