I did this piece with graphite, biro, tom-bow wash pens, white ink, acrylic and wax crayons on light blue pastel paper.
What I tried to create with this piece was an atmosphere that flows with rhythm and sketch-like life to loosen up the rigidity that statues portray.

Adebanji,
You definitely achieved flow. Interesting the two Diana statues are archers. While I was painting the reference photo I felt that she was drawing back an arrow to a bow. I wonder if the sculptor changed his mind along the way?
Your lines are very graceful and delicate in this piece.
Thanks Alice!!!
You might be right about that because almost all reference statues I saw, had her with bows.
You're so creative! You always do something great with the DSDF challenges. it's great. :-)
What a fabulous piece Adebanji, I love the movement it has and the great composition with the 3 girls. The buck is a nice added detail. Your white highlights bring everything into place.
Blazing hot and wonderful !
Okay, so I'm thinking is Banji going to have Josh in this challenge too? I am so impressed with your work. It is truly like I'm viewing the work of the Masters. [bowing in reverence.....]
Thanks Liz, Dominique and Sheila!
You are close and right Sheila, I almost did add Josh as a flying angel but then............maybe next time
Simply awesome! I love the composition and interaction of the figures. The design is divine.
Thanks Diane!
I knew you would make this your own. I also like the movement and story.
Very well done, simply fabulous and very creative.
Gorgeous, and highly creative work, Adebanji! Love the sweep of your composition!
Wow, this is an awesome take on this weeks. With all the movement, you have breathed life into these figures. Fabulous idea and composition.
Thanks Priti, Maria, Vern and Dean! These comments/feedback are always encouraging!
I love your composition here! I like that you used different mediums as well. I have been enjoying your work for some time.
Thanks Glenda!
Wow Adebanji, I finally had a chance to get a closer look at your drawing. What a beautiful design you created with the three figures! I love it!
Thanks Carol!
Thanks for the blog visit, Adebanji. I love what you did with Diana. You turned a solid statue into a piece with movement--kind of like a work of music!
Thanks Cheryl!
Beautiful ! You are so creative, you always have an original take on the DSDF. It's incredible how you've made this look both very classic and very modern, and... so alive, with such a graceful flow ! They are statues, and yet...
