My ArtVenture: Pastel painting “Hercules vs Cerberus”
Hello dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to present you my pastel work that took me three days to finish. This time I have chosen a famous hero from Greek mythology Hercules. I remember myself spending hours reading the stories about Hercules and his adventure.
I saw the picture of sculpture when Hercules is fighting Cerberus and thought that is what I want to do.
I decided to use larger format 27,9x42 cm this time and weight 110 g/cm² sketch block, my soft pastel pencils: Yellow Ochre, cobalt blue, burnt sienna, brown, black and white
Would be interesting to know your opinion :)

Your Hercules is stunning! We have a statue of Hercules in my town BUT your interpretation is even better :) I love the colors and the amazing details that you included. I enjoy your Greek mythology series :)
I hope you're doing well..
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!
Thank you @delishtreads for your nice words, I am pleased you appreciate my work, it was a tough job and I was on some stage hesitating if everything will come out as I want :)

I love classical and historical characters: their legends and story are amazing.
Amazing like your art.
I would like suggesting you that I will have a contest on my account soon: on March, 3rd I will have my First Steem Birthday and I will make a contest where I will show all my portraits: there will be a lot of prizes and if you would like to partecipate with a drawing (also easier that this one) it could be a pleasure to me to join you!
It could be a good way to show your art all over Steem Blockchain😉👍
Let me know!!!
Thank you and Steem on!!!
