I'm afraid to draw Helen of Sparta. How do you draw the most beautiful woman in Greece? What should I do? Where should I start?!

"Oh, draw her as your standard of beauty."

BUT I'M A LESBIAN! ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL TO ME!!!

That reminds me of that little sketch of Helen I have there taking powder (my favorite, actually) 🧍🏾‍♀️

“No other woman has a heart as steady and a mind as brilliant. Even after all these years, Penelope — your strength, your faith… it still humbles me.”

— Odysseus

Move aside Odysseus, that girl is mine now.

Anyway, this is my design for Penelope, since I currently have a hyper-fixation with epic the musical and Greek mythology.

I hope you all like it 👉👈

I’ve been thinking a bit more with Penelope’s hair — imagining her as a cool platinum blonde, or even with bold, fantastical shades like purple. But in this particular piece, I feel the black hair really brings her to life. Maybe later I’ll create a full character sheet with different variations, because honestly, there just aren’t enough versions of Penelope out there. For now, meet my black-haired Penelope!

A few extra details — she’s adorned with plenty of pearls, a loving gift from her mother. And those feather earrings? They come from the ducks that rescued her as a baby.

And yes, I know the Mycenaeans didn’t wear their eye makeup like this — that’s entirely an artistic choice. As for any other historical inaccuracies you might spot, I apologize in advance; I’m no historian, just someone having fun with the concept.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you enjoy my art 🙌💓

I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU LIKED IT 😭😭💓 It motivates me a lot to know that one of my favorite writers liked my drawing, it makes me want to draw more Penelope for everyone!
