Medusa - Drawing

in #elegance6 years ago

Medusa

Medusa was the only mortal of The gorgons. But, besides this, she was the most beautiful of all. Such was her attractive body that a God like Poseidon fell madly in love with her and ended up seducing her in the temple of Athena; There are texts that tell us that, more than a seduction process, it was a full-blown violation.

Remember that Athena (mother of Perseus) and Poseidon were strong rivals and, therefore, this act caused the Goddess of Wisdom to end up punishing Medusa and equated her to the same rank as her two sisters, that is, turned her into a monster without soul, with big fangs, metallic hands and eyes full of a light capable of petrifying anyone who looked at them. Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, envied the precious mane of Medusa and, therefore, she took it off and replaced it with snakes.

In this way, all the natural beauty of Medusa was transformed and turned into a real monster that could only live in the most distant lands, next to the Hades or the Underworld.

Process

This drawing made me a bit complicated since I'm not very good with faces. I started drawing what would be the edge of her face and her eyes, eyebrows and nose, as you can see in the pics of step by step. Then I added intensity to her eyes and realized what would be the lips, followed by the clarity and darkness of her face in the whole of her neck, then I added her breasts and delved into the serpents that act as her hair until achieving the result final.

I really hope you like it, Thanks for visiting my blog 🌸
