For my fourth year project, I am exploring mythical creatures. To get my ideas flowing I continued my research by doing an illustration of one of my favourite mythical creatures, Medusa. The story of Medusa, the snaked-haired gorgon, tends to be misunderstood and misrepresented, much like Medusa herself. I wanted to capture this through her expression, contrasting with the grins and aggressive expressions on the snakes.
