For Drawing Class today, we brought in references to make our own version of Leda and the Swan (story from Greek mythology). Artists have been depicting their own version of this story since the Renaissance when it and other Greek myths became more popular.
This drawing was meant to be a preliminary drawing, but David Noyes told me not to add anything to it. He said it has a very elegant quality that would be lost if I went back into it later. I might make a second version with paint if I have time.
wow I agree, you shouldn't add too much to this work, it's outstanding Kandris

Thanks Hallie! I have so much stuff to post but I'm in finals time right now. I'll get to it when my crits are over!
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at your drawing, I believe there is something that you could do to enhance it. Put it in a frame and hang it up for display. Absolutely GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a monologue about this and finding an image of the story that I relate to was part of my "homework". Thank you so much for this. It captures something about the divine...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad my drawing was useful to you. I can get you a color corrected copy of the image. The one I posted here was from before I knew how to make the digital image look it's best online.
