One flew over my head..

I have illustrated a hand scrapping down the page, I wanted to move away from the feet or the head, as i felt the message it was conveying the metaphor well. I have decided on the hand because it almost does look human, it slightly reminds me of a werewolf's hand. Once drawn I could imagine it scraping down the side of the front cover almost like it scraps the rabbit hole image.

I purposely made the colours of the watercolour the same as the rabbit hole illustration, so it completly  would tie in well with the whole theme of the book cover. I think this illustration is successful, I feel that it has the right element of the wolf character, it is creepy, intimidating, scary, looks like it is scrapping/disturbing the colours of the rabbit hole. 

I want to keep all the colours of the front cover quite earthy, with different colours mixed in but all still bland, I need to experiment with colours next. I want to see  how this design could completely change with different colours, maybe green for a more clinical feel.
