For this piece I just wanted to have fun, and make some studies of snakes and portrait, so Medusa was a perfect figure to paint. "Medusa was a monster, one of the Gorgon sisters and daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaea (Earth) and Oceanus (Ocean). She had the face of an ugly woman with snakes instead of hair; anyone who looked into her eyes was immediately turned to stone. She was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy; however, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him. For this offence, she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake; her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker."

“Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running away from them.” ― Nikita Gill, Your Body is an Ocean: Love and Other Experiments ~~~~~~~~ Oil painting video process of my last painting "Wise Wolf"
Materials: Sketch + Photoshop + Wacom create tablet Reference photo: First I did the sketch on paper, Im innove with bombeo jackets so I decided to used this photography as reference for this illustration, I loved the pose, the expression and the fact that I had a lot of space to draw something in the back of the jacket. I always start painting the face, the hair and the big spaces, them the small areas and the final details. Hope you enjoy the process. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mela.lobos/
