Tag As FavoriteComment		Herakles, the most famous hero of the old Greek mythology. His father was the god of gods Zeus and his mother was Queen Alkmene (I don't know that name in English...). Herakles killed his first monsters when he was just 10 months old. two snakes tried to kill him and his twinbrother, but he simple strangle them with his small baby hands. after that he did much greater deeds (like killing 2 lions, a hydra, and taking Ceberus (the dog with 3 heads) out of the underworld). I really like the stories of Herakles, so it was fun to make this drawing.
This was the first time i used photoshop, en before this time i never used it or even looked at it, so i think it turned out pretty good!
o, and i know there is something wrong with his muscles, so you don't have to notice that...
took me 6 hours to finish

I like the lion, it makes him look bigger than he is - as it probably did. You are very good at drawing people, I wish I had been so good in your age! All proportinos are right, only his arms seem to be somewhat short, but I guess it's perspective in fact.

1 Iris F. Houten replies: "thank you so much. I'm so happy that you like him (and the lion). yes, you're right, the arms are a little bit to short. but well, i hope that it isn't so worse. "

Not bad, you have the muscles in the right place. Not too bad as far as anatomy goes. But you'll get better judging by the rest of your gallery.

18 Iris F. Houten replies: "hehe, yes. It's a bit embarresing to get a comment at you're very first drawing on elfwood 10 It looks very ugly to me now, but I think I'm just going to keep it because it's good to see I'm improving. Thank you for your comment"
