Description I started this drawing in July 2010 and finished it on May 28th 2011. I was lazy with drawing at that time... Finally! In total, I think this drawing took me about 20 to 30 hours.

A3 sized paper, so I had to make a photo. The camera is not great, so BlackMysticA corrected the contrast with photoshop for me !!
Pencils used: ranging from 4-6B to 3H, I think?? And of course I used a kneaded eraser, and a tissue to shade

She is on my darkblue wall now with a silver paper frame. You can see that here: [link]

Thanks (for the fav as well). You probably went to my gallery because I favved your 'comic' about being/becoming a physicist? I'm not a physicist, but I think that the comic can be applied to other beta sciences as well XD (finishing my master in Environmental biology, as we speak)

I'm very glad to hear that. Knowing that my work is a more universal source of inspiration is wonderful praise. 

I hope all is going well on your course

Luckily this petrification is just temporarily. Are you feeling better already?
(Besides the sarcasm, thanks for the huge compliment!)

No problem how could you not like I Gorgon. Althouh I have always wondered how everyone in myth knew what a Gorgon looked like if seeing one makes you a lawn decoration.

What I heard is that you turn into a nice statue when you look Medusa in the eyes. That gives some time to quickly draw her, try VERY hard to not look at her face (because your eyes automatically respond on other faces....), and then run as fast as you can
