The deity is recognized by symbols or behavior. Usually the figure is idealized, but not always. As the deities are shapeshifters they can appear in any guise.</p> <p>The general procedure is:</p> <ul> <li>Draw the gesture using stick figures or general forms.</li> <li>Fill in the body parts including bones and muscles if known.</li> <li>Cover the body with clothing: <ul> <li>Peplos (long robe for women)</li> <li>Chiton (Shorter robe for men)</li> <li>Armor <ul> <li>Shield</li> <li>Corinthian Helmet</li> <li>Cuirass (like a vest)</li> <li>Apron</li> <li>Greaves (shin protection)</li> </ul></li> <li>Sandals</li> <li>Other items <ul> <li>Crown</li> <li>Spear or javelin</li> <li>Bow and arrow</li> <li>Discus</li> <li>Girdle</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li>Include appropriate symbols that allow the deity to be recognized.</li> </ul> <p><span><img src="t.d/drawing.jpg" alt="How to draw a goddess"/><br/>How to Draw a Goddess</span></p> <h2>Symbols of the various goddesses</h2> <h3>Athena</h3> <ul> <li>A beautiful young woman</li> <li>Helmet</li> <li>Aegeis - Shield, Cape, or blouse (cuirass)</li> <li>Spear</li> </ul> <h3>Aphrodite</h3> <ul> <li>A beautiful young woman</li> <li>Girdle (crossed sashes)</li> <li>Love apple</li> <li>A crown decorated with leaves or a dove</li> </ul> <h3>Artemis</h3> <ul> <li>A beautiful girl</li> <li>bow and arrow, quiver</li> <li>crown with lunette</li> </ul> <h3>Circe</h3> <ul> <li>Young woman</li> <li>Wand</li> <li>Pigs</li> </ul> <h3>Calypso</h3> <ul> <li>Young woman</li> <li>Beautiful hair</li> <li>falcon</li> <li>shuttle</li> </ul> <h3>Hera</h3> <ul> <li>Beautiful Woman</li> <li>peacock</li> <li>cuckoo</li> <li>immortelle</li> <li>pomegranate</li> <li>lily</li> <li>crown</li> <li>scepter</li> </ul> <hr/> <p>To ask a question about this topic note the topic (Drawing Goddesses) and <a href="comm.html">Click here</a></p> <hr/> <h3>Questions and Answers</h3> <p>Advertisement:</p> <p>Buying links: <a href="grepar.html">Art Supplies and Original Art</a> -- <a href="grepe.html">Audio Books</a> -- <a href="grepp.html">Auto Parts and Accessories</a> -- <a href="grepeb.html">eBooks(books in digital form)</a> -- <a href="grepq.html">Traditional Books</a> -- <a href="grepb.html">Business to Business</a> -- <a href="grepcoe.html">Collectibles</a> -- <a href="grepcol.html">College and Education</a> -- <a href="grepcomh.html">Computer HW(Hardware)</a> -- <a href="grepcoms.html">Computer SW(Software)</a> -- <a href="grepcon.html">Construction and Built-in Decoration of Homes</a> -- <a href="grepce.html">Consumer Electronics</a> -- <a href="grepcos.html">Cosmetics and Fragrances</a> -- <a href="greppa.html">Costumes and Party Goods</a> -- <a href="grepev.html">Events</a> -- <a href="grepk.html">Furniture and Removable Decoration of Homes</a> -- <a href="grepg.html">Games</a> -- <a href="grepga.html">Garden and Flowers</a> -- <a href="grepj.html">Gifts</a> -- <a href="grepgr.html">Groceries, Gourmet Food, and Wine</a> -- <a href="grepha.html">Hair Care</a> -- <a href="grepl.html">Handbags and Luggage</a> -- <a href="greph.html">Health Food</a> -- <a href="grepho.html">Hotels</a> -- <a href="grepo.html">Jewelry</a> -- <a href="grepki.html">Kitchen and Dining</a> -- <a href="grepmal.html">Malls and Virtual Malls</a> -- <a href="grepme.html">Men&#39;s</a> -- <a href="grepu.html">Movies/DVD&#39;s</a> -- <a href="grepmu.html">Music</a> -- <a href="grepou.html">Outdoors</a> -- <a href="grepph.html">Photo</a> -- <a href="greppo.html">Posters, Prints and Painting Reproductions</a> -- <a href="greps.html">Shoes</a> -- <a href="grepte.html">Teens</a> -- <a href="grepto.html">Toys</a> -- <a href="grepa.html">Travel</a> -- <a href="grepw.html">Women&#39;s</a> -- <a href="grepeur.html">Geschäft in Europa</a> -- <a href="grepuk.html">United Kingdom Vendors</a> --</p> <p>If you click above and follow the links to a purchase then this site receives a commission for its support.</p> <p><img class="photo" src="logo.gif" width="200" height="150" alt="Logo of The Role of Women in the Art of Ancient Greece"/></p> <p><a href="index.html">RWAAG</a>, Drawing--></p> <p>origin 20100528 updz20100528</p> </body> </html>
