Their primarch was Ferrus Manus, a bellicose and uncompromising warlord and peerless weapon-smith, from whom the X th Legion took their name and whose command was to them inviolatable law. They were the hammer that had shattered countless foes in the Emperor's quest to liberate Mankind from the darkness of Old Night. Renowned for their pride, cold-hearted brutality and remorselessness in battle, the Iron Hands were among the most powerful and famed Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade. The Iron Hands were born as the X th Legion of Space Marines, engineered by the Emperor to bring His light to the long-lost Human colony worlds scattered across the stars. Like the other Loyalist Astartes Legions, the Iron Hands would later be divided up after the Horus Heresy into multiple different Chapters, as required by the Codex Astartes, although one Chapter of the original Legion remained known as the Iron Hands and is described below.Īlthough unwavering in their faith in the Emperor of Mankind and His dream of Human unity as embodied in the Imperium of Man, the Iron Hands also believe that Human flesh is weak and easily corruptible, and strive to replace their organic bodies with more "pure" bionic substitutes, thus closely emulating the faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Cult Mechanicus. It will look great no matter what you use it for.The Iron Hands are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter and one of the original First Founding Space Marine Legions created from the gene-seed of their martyred primarch, Ferrus Manus. You can also use watercolors or colored pencils to achieve a muted look. You can use acrylic paints or colored pens to create more vivid colors.

We kept her colors muted and darker to match her snake theme.įor her face, we used a liter of green and some darker colors for the snakes. We can color her in this last part of our Medusa drawing. You could draw more of her corpse, or a background that shows some of the victims she turned to stone. Be sure to add any additional details you might want before you proceed. One snake can be drawn from her top, and three from below.Īfter you have added the last snakes, it’s time to move on to step 3. To surround her with snakes, the remaining snakes will fill in any gaps at her head’s top and bottom.
Medusa drawing how to#
You have drawn the majority of the snakes you will be adding to this tutorial on how to draw Medusa. Next, we will finish the details of the next section. But if you slow down and refer to the reference image, you’ll be fine. We will add five snake heads to this section of her skull and twisty bodies to the corresponding ones.Īnother step that can seem a little complicated. Now we will concentrate on her central head. We added a bunch of snakes to her head in the previous Medusa drawing. We will continue with step 4 once you are ready. This side can be copied from the reference image or you can simply mirror your own drawing. It’s important to make sure they do so in a logical manner.Īfter you’ve completed the one-side of the head of snakes you can make a symmetrical copy for the second side.


There are many twisty lines that connect the bodies to the heads of snakes. This step is easiest if you start from one side and then draw a line parallel to the reference image. We will take it slowly and it is not as difficult as it seems. We will be adding many snakes to her head. In the next few steps we will add a lot more snakes on her head, so let’s get moving! You can do this by keeping in mind when you draw the first two snakes.įor their curving bodies, draw some curves and finish by adding their faces to the ends. We will keep her snake hair symmetrical for both sides.

We already mentioned that Medusa’s head is full of living snakes, so we’ll draw one of them for your Medusa drawing. You can then draw her mouth, which will be slightly lowered to give her an intense expression. You can then draw the nostrils and sides a little below.

Next, draw two small curves for the bridge of the nose. This will give her an intense expression. We will then use rounded, but angular, lines for her eyebrows. Next, draw a small circle with a dot inside. You may think she looks like a normal woman at this stage.įirst, we will draw her eyes with thick lines.
