Temple of Zeus — The Assembly of the Gods

A little art

I wanted to share the pictures I shared on my own country's forum here. (This situation makes me a little embarrassed) I would like to leave a picture of one of our Gods and Goddesses here, but since I can't draw very well, my pictures like this are always left unfinished.

I love creating stories with pictures. I can say that it has been my passion since childhood, even when I could only draw stick figures, I loved explaining things with pictures.

They look so pretty!
I love the scenery! Glad you shared this with us.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about, it is similar to what you have told me in my art thread about us always being hardest critics on our art. :)

Thank you for your support. 🫶🏻
I am a very harsh critic, especially when criticizing myself. I think it's because I always want to do better.

Thank you 😊
I drew the birds very improvisationally. Since I have a hard time drawing things by looking at them, I usually draw them in my mind and improvisationally.

Heey, you did good!
I love how you shaded. I do have to point that the proportions of the eyes are a bit wrong but don't let that bother you now as this is really good.
This is the way I practice proportions of the head. Hope it helps! :)

Thank you very much for considering and sharing. 💖

Proportioning while drawing is a nightmare for me, I have a hard time using proportions. So I prefer to draw randomly most of the time. Yes the eyes are badass and I couldn't fix them.

It takes practice and patience as you might already know that yourself. You did good and just keep it up, you will notice that you will improve a lot if you just keep on drawing.
Focus on areas you think needs improvement and grind those, such as proportions, head, hands etc and also draw few full pieces once in a while and so on. That's how I did it anyway.

It's like with meditations, you start slow and then keep adding up as you progress. 🙂
