I've always said that I can't draw people. It is something I struggle with, even with computer editing software. I find that ratios and features always look strange to me. Depth of field never seems quite right.
For my third drawing, I decided to pray for myself, and to focus on the face of Jesus. The "person" above all people. I used a reference drawing that I found online, but frankly, my drawing turned out nothing like that one at all.
I think I had more confidence with this drawing because no one living has seen the actual face of Jesus. There is no one who can tell me that his nose is too big, or his beard too thick. I just drew him as I see him in my mind. With kind, yet sad, eyes. With strength and dignity in his features.
I knew that the light of the Father should be shining down on him.
This drawing now "lives" in the pocket as the front cover of my sketch book.
