Sketch Update 1: Sisyphus

Here are some tentative sketches that I have made in preparation of my first piece based on the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus.

For those unfamiliar with the story, Sisyphus was a trickster who fooled the gods by escaping his own death. Out of anger, the gods punished him by sending him to Tartarus with the pointless task of pushing a rock up and down a mountain for all eternity. post-modern philosopher Albert Camus took the myth to be representative of his own school of thought, Absurdism. According to his doctrine, Sisyphus's fate mirrors that of the modern man as both are forced into an existence of perpetual work without meaning.

Let me know what you guys think of my sketches so far. Ultimately, I plan on doing two pieces covering Sisyphus. One will illustrate his trek up the mountain and the other down.
