Medusa Series - Sunday Sketches

medusa series - detail

It's a lovely weekend and I hope everyone is enjoying theirs as well.

Weeks ago, I gave you a glimpse of my Medusa sketch which was the springboard for this series. Above is the first drawing for the series. I've included a detail. The full drawing of this female nude figure can be seen here at Gallery Juana-etsy.
