Interesting, but does not quite have the same effect as the original. Not much perspective. Sorry!

thank you for the comment.the scan of this picture doesn't do it justice,the swan has a lot of grey shading in it and there is alot of turquoise swirls in the background that doesn't show up

Very pretty none the less. This has its own charm that I like a lot!

well, I suppose it depends on your perception of things but I dissagree with your attempt at making Leda and the Swan into a cartoon. Also Leda looks like a temptress and a godess, in the actual story Zeus (the god ) almost rapes her. hmm. I don't know, there's certain topics you can mess around with, but this story is full of agression and sexual violence and I don't see it in your picture. Stick to drawing Barbie Doll's I would.

not all of us see the world as that dark!and the swan loved her in his own way,everyone to his own viewpoint on things,thanks anyway!

That is very beautiful. I love everything in the picture. Good job

I think my favorite part of this picture is the swan. It is done very well. I agree with Aisja, except Leda's figure and pose seems a little awkward. Other than that, this picture is great.
