Artist's Comments

Hi people, I'm new at DA, this is my first post :D
This is a self portrait as Medusa, I know I'm ugly like this, but it was fun to do ;)
I've tried to use a mirror, but staying more than 2 minutes with the mouth opened like that was too difficult, so I've taken a photo to continue.
HB, 2B and 5B pencils on A4 paper. It took me approximatively 15 hours to finish it. Hope you'll enjoy it

reference (used for the shading and the pose... it's not exactly the same face on the drawing) [link]

I want to thank everybody for the kind and constructive comments I've had :) Thanks a lot to twosilverstars who have featured this drawing :)

And sorry for my bad english.....

Medusa by ~Dianae is one of those pieces that very obviously speaks for itself...I could go on and on about how technically impressive it is...but I can't stop staring at this incredible work of art long enough to think of something intelligent. I suggest you do the same. (Featured by `twosilverstars)

Would medusa turn to stone if she looked at herself in the mirror... :shrug:
Anyway, this is wonderful. The expression is intense.

welcome to DA and keep up the good work

This is incredible. I've had to draw snakes like this before, and it's so difficult to stay patient and keep everything so detailed. At least for me it was, but you make it look easy. The amount of detail put into this is very impressive.
