Adrian and Peony

I have been doing some blind contour drawings this week after looking through Clemente's Life is Paradise book I received in the mail upon returning from NY. Blind contour's are a great exercise for connecting your eyes to your hands. This one wasn't completely blind-here I was more interested in layering. Drawing a peony and then Adrian on top of it. There are a lot of elements I am thinking about here (patterns, gender, relationships, sex) and the flower does look like Adrian's brain exploding-I need to sort these thoughts into a thesis!
