Dear Athena what a great portrait. you are a fantastic artist. The painting (The Titan war) shows goddess Athena in the middle ready to kill a giant. Under Athena the half figure portrays Gaea (=Earth) the Titan's mother begging for mercy. Be happy

Stunning work. Remarkable textures. Do you have any tutorials or step by steps posted that we may see how you pull this off in only 2 hours?!

Artist Reply: Rough textured paper and thick, soft lead wood pencils always makes a drawing go much faster for me because I'm able to lay down the graphite rough and quick; there are not nearly as many details and of course I can't do much soft shading. When I'm using smooth paper, and a mechanical pencil, it takes much much longer. Hope that helps!

Artist Reply: The texture was mostly (and easily) achieved by using a rougher paper :) Thanks so much for your kind remark
