Description
So, for the third god/goddess in my series I chose Demeter, goddess of harvest, sacred law and the cycle of life and death.
She was well known for her grief when Hades took her daughter Persephone and causing famine while searching for her child.
There are many versions of the story but it was believed that, since Persephone ate 6 pomegranate seeds, she spent 6 months with her mother and 6 months with her husband, which resulted in the fertile and barren months.

This is wonderful and I guess the gold ink looks amazing in real life!

Hello, Hey, I am from
Okay, first of all, I like the choice of Demeter in this time of year since it seems very suitable. I like your vision, the way you changed the hair on her with the autumn colors was reallyΒ well thought out. However, IΒ must say that the face seems a bit disproportioned, meaning there is no depth in the lines/ shadows that could hint that you drew eye sockets. It is very visible in the hands, but unless youre going for this style of drawing the face, then it is an interesting style for sure. You still will need to work on the face anatomy and realationships and I do suggest working out the way jewelry works on the body, how it hangs loose and how it circles the body. Furthermore, I think that the overall use of color really accompany each other very well and I really like the piece. Maybe if you had a blueish or bigger background it would do the hair pretty good. Maybe add some glow too? I hope I was helpful, my dear

It is just amazing! You should be extremely proud of yourself! You made something so beautiful and such a good representation of the God! She is lovely, and the vegetables and grain she is holding is drawn extremely well. I love all the little details! I just cant stop looking at this.Β Β Β Β Β
