January 10th 2020...

...marks year 4 of this art blog! Can you believe it is still going. Although there has been less and less posts/art over the years (as you can see, art takes time to create) but I've actually been doing more drawings since I started the Podcast Portraits.

I've slowly been adding videos of various drawings depicting the time lapses to my YouTube Channel as well. It's been fun to step back and see the progress from start to finish of each of those.

And to finalize everything for this years celebration I decided to do a throwback of my first drawing for this blog - The Bible and Rosary Drawing. I recreated the scene, photographed it, and drew it.

Many continue to ask (actually not really) how I draw some of these pictures. I continue to answer, "With my hand of course! And a pencil."

Thank You for viewing!

My Last Drawing...of the Year!

2023 Is Gone!

2023 is finally nearing an end, actually it has ended. By the time you read this we will be well into the new year of 2024. Well, one week into the first month. January 6th to be exact is when this came out. On the feast of Epiphany. Epiphany, meaning a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being. At this we are referring to the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi (Matthew 2:1–12)

This scene I drew is the Epiphany, when the three Magi arrived in Bethlehem and found Jesus by following the star. …And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

I time lapsed this drawing so you can follow the progress and the procedures I used in creating this picture. And maybe after viewing it, inspiration will flow from within you to maybe even create your own drawing!

- Here are a few progress photos I took while drawing.
