49 Drawings: Greek Mythology
This was a project for my college drawing class, and easily the most difficult project I did in my entire college career. We were tasked with creating 49 similarly-themed drawings (12 in x 12 in) that were meant to be displayed in a 7x7 grid.
The twist? We were given two weeks to complete the entire project.
I chose a Greek Mythology theme and mainly made character designs of the Greek pantheon of gods, as well as illustrating several Greek myths. These were all created with ink pens and sepia inkwash.
