I want to present you with a new interesting lesson in which you will learn how to draw the Medusa. The lesson is designed for beginners and consists of nine steps.

In this tutorial, I propose to draw a character from Greek mythology and show in detail how to draw Medusa. This is an evil monster with a female face.

On the head of Medusa, instead of hair, there are long snakes that move. Legend has it that a man can turn to stone if he looks into the face of Medusa.

In this tutorial, Medusa is presented in a cartoon style and looks quite harmless. Here you will have to draw small elements in the sequence, so be patient during the tutorial.
