Saint Benedict with Video!

- Father of Western Monasticism

-Saint Benedict of Nursia-

I've finished letter B, next I will jump to letter D, with Saint Dymphna and Saint Dominic, as I have already done the C's. I like to jump around the alphabet, just to confuse people that like orderly fashions. Isn't it boring if everything is in line, perfect, and in an order that pleases you.  Never in real life is there perfect order and reason for things - same goes for this series, whatever letter I feel like doing next will be the one - F doesn't have to come after E.

-     Here is the finished drawing done in colored pencil on 7.25" X 9.75" paper. I have updated the page, "Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper."

I have also recorded this drawing as I drew, the video is down below. I have had many requests to do another time lapse video from my many followers, so here it is, maybe I will record the rest of this series.

THANK YOU for Viewing this Art!

Finally back to my alphabet series

Saint Barbara

I like to call this series, 'Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper', but, 'The Alphabet Series' works just as well. The last ones I did were all the way back in August! St. Agnes and St. Anthony. But I'm back with the series. I hope you enjoy following along with me as I draw the saints from A to Z.

My sister, Miss K is SUPPOSED to be doing biographies on all of these drawings in this series, but she is a little behind.

 So just a little information I found on St. Barbara,

-born mid-third century in Heliopolis, Phoenicia.

-after Barbara became Christian, denouncing her father's Pagan beliefs, her father got angry and she was tortured.

-She later was beheaded by her father and became a martyr.

The Next Saint will be St. Benedict

I will have the A's done, the B's done, and the C's done. But there is only one problem - there is only enough paper to do Saint Benedict and one of the D's. - It may be awhile until I finish this series!

It's My Blogirthday!

 Happy Blogirthday!

It has been exactly 1 year since I started this blog - Jan 10th two thousand and twenty! 1 year and I've got a ton of followers who love viewing my art, thanks to them that I can still be here showing my work and showing what my hand is capable of when you stick a pencil or pen into it, or a crayon.

This Year's Graph

Guess at Next Year's Graph

Now for the Artwork

This is a drawing of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wanted to draw something with crayons because I liked how smooth they were and how nice the colors blend together. I decided to do a drawing of the Blessed Virgin Mary because I don't think I have drawn one in color - I have painted one and have done a little sketch, but not a big drawing - it is not super big, but it is bigger than regular paper - 14 inches wide by 17 inches tall. 

This is probably the video that inspired me to do this particular picture of Mary, they used colored pencil for the whole drawing.

My Finished Drawing

This drawing was done with Prismacolors and crayons. I used the Prismacolors for the face and hands and the rest was done with crayons.

A Bonus Sketch

This sketch is a Hungarian themed drawing done for some of my cousins. Included in this sketch is the Hungarian flag, a Forint (Money), and the Hungarian Parliament Building.

I hope you enjoyed this post, comment if you liked any of the drawings.

Finished my self-portrait! Plus a bonus drawing?

 A New Year

As you have probably guessed by reading the title, Yes, I have finished my self-portrait! Lots of people have been asking when I was going to finish, well, not lots - but here it is. If you were to scroll down you would be able to see the finished piece, but for you readers who keep reading this text - finish reading this no nonsense words of meaningless vocabulary. Why did you even read this sentence?

First look at the photo of the drawing.  If I could I would put the original.

But I have to put only a photo, no hard copies.

A College of photos,

or is it Collage of photos? hmm.

And the Finished Drawing

There I am. I finished this in 2020. That was quite awhile ago, last year to be exact. A long time ago, but yet only a few days ago.

The New Year Drawing

Every year on the new year or after, depending on if I remember, I do a little sketch. I started when I began doing this, so - a long time ago, 2017 or 2018 - but I've probably done a drawing every year since I was born, but not a New Year Sketch, I'll call this series a New Year Sketch - I'll post a page of ones I've done and continue each year there is a new year. I'm pretty sure there is a New Year every year.

2021 New Year Sketch:

Buoyancy is key to float!

When the buoyant force equals one ton, it will sink no further. When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the “principle of flotation” where a floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
