Hermes, Aphrodite and Athena

I have recreated an image of Hermes statue in pencil.

I am very pleased with the outcome of this image, I think the shading and composition give the main figure more depth, with the main figure being in the left corner and the strong lines on the right side of it, it almost borders the image and draws the eye to the detail in the shading.

I also did a sketch of my own version of Aphrodite birth rising from the sea.

and recreated a statue of Athena in the walker museum in Liverpool.

i took the photograph of the statue att this angle to try and capture the solemn look in her face and to try and capture the  complexity of different tones in the structure
