CGAN March 2018 - Roman Gods - WIPs

pffft you and me both lol
I started sketching Libitina and Flora but I ended up feeling it'd be too difficult for me, and also my second sketch ended up too similar to CG's Pluto and Persephone (or is it prosperpina? too many names!)

So I've started a sketch of Minerva. That said I've no idea how far I'll get on that, so please go ahead with yours Thomgirl Maybe one of us will manage to finish in time

Likewise,
I think I did a fair few women in greecian helmet style drawings of her as a kid...

I reworked the sketch a bit to fix the perspective issues and continued the painting process.

The steps look better now vanishing point wise, though at the moment you still have each step drawn at the same visual depth as one another when they would appear deeper as they get closer to us (assuming that the steps were built the same size in reality). This is why your steps look too narrow as Charlotte mentioned earlier, at the moment the middle step she is sitting on (Prosperina, not Charlotte) is only the width on her hand.

When you widened the steps you also created a bad tangent with the top of the middle step and the design on the floor. And it might just be me but when you extended the width of the steps it actually kind of separated them from being a series of steps into being a series of blocks leading to the throne (we don't normally expect steps to be progressively wider than each other on a typical staircase), perhaps you could extend a little from each step back down the side of the preceding step in a kind of pyramid style thing to unify it more.
