Little Boy

This is a sketch of a little boy I used to watch. So cute!

Praying Hands

 

This is my newest drawing. It is my Grandfather's favorite symbol, the praying hands.

St. Padre Pio

 This is a sketch I just finished of St. Padre Pio. I thought I would share how I drew it. First I graph both the picture, and the paper that I will be drawing on. Then, I flip both the picture and the paper upside down. This helps me to draw exactly what I see, not what I "think" I see. After I have made my outline of where I want everything to go, I flip it back over to start shading. One of the hardest things I have learned is that I can't just start with a dark color. Instead, I have to progressively go darker and darker until I am happy with my picture. The beauty about this is that I can tweak it as I am shading.

Hope this helps! Don't give up!

Emeline Rose

This is my newest drawing. My god daughter, Emeline Rose. Love to her, and prayers!

Praying Boy

Here is a preview of a drawing that I am working on. It is of a boy I go to church with.

Msgr. John Williams

This drawing is of my pastor, my shepherd, my sponsor, my friend, Msgr. John Williams. His humbleness and wisdom in all aspects of his life are clearly seen by all who meet him. To the left of him, I added a picture of one of his favorite statues, the Infant of Prague. This is my favorite drawing, and probably the best of my drawings.

St. Therese of Liseiux

This was my first drawing. I did this while at an Ignited By Truth Conference. I loved her eyes, and her smile.

St. Vincent De Paul

Deacon Don Maloney

This is one of the men I look up to. He has so much wisdom. Congratulations to him as he will be ordained a priest on June 2, 2012!

Sketches

Here are some sketches that I drew to help me with technique.
