Happy Valentine's Day!

 February 14th 2023

Happy Valentine's Day yet again...it happens every year, doesn't it? Well anyway, last year at this time I wanted to have a Saint Valentine drawing done for the series, so I had started on it a few months or weeks before...can't remember exactly. But funny story, I only got his face drawn.

So this year I decided to finish it, he was actually still taped to my drawing desk (my dresser)  with a bunch of papers and what not piled on top of him. So I cleaned up, dusted the drawing off, and finished in the month of September of two thousand and twenty-three.

This is actually a unique drawing of him, not the typical image you see of Saint Valentine because I have combined a couple of references together. 

The first one being that of a computer generated image thought to be what he actually looked like. You can see that below. They took is skull and mapped it out using 3d imagery software to create an image of is actual face.

And the second reference I used was that of a statue of St Valentine to get his traditional looking vestments added in.

And here is the final drawing of saint Valentine.

Thank you for viewing my art! Happy feast of Saint Valentine!

Happy Blogirthday! It has been 4 Years...

 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!
