Happy almost-Halloween! I bought these fake pumpkins years back with the vague notion that I should paint them with greek vase inspired designs, but never quite figured out what to draw. Until last week I tried again, and all of a sudden I was drawing these geometric greek monster friends all over!First is a sphinx and a siren, then Medusa and the Hydra, maenad and satyr drinking buddies, and the Minotaur hanging out with Ariadne. The coloring styles are based off of different types of vase styles–black-figure on red clay, black-figure on white clay, and bronze with green patina. Also including my sketches and style experiments so you can see the full designs, since the bumps on the pumpkins warp the designs in photos. -- source link
