I drew this a while ago. I have tried to draw Jesus three times. I always have a hard time with his lips. I am going to keep drawing him until I get him right.
Penny - I believe that you DID get him right...as the look on his face is RADIATING eternal LOVE. If you dropped YOUR coin (LOVE) into YOUR fountain (eternity) you could use this to reach out to the world.
I think this is a very good pencil drawing of Jesus, Penny!! Who's to say how his lips should look, right?? It's a great portrait! Did you see my painting of Jesus yet??
Artist Reply: Thank you and yes I did see yours. I commenting on it in early Dec. It is beautifully done.
I am sorry I missed this one...it is so noble looking and hopeful yet sad...Excellent work, Penny! I think it is GRAND! But I never would get tired of drawing him in new ways...Merry Christmas Forever. It is good to see His Face right now, brings Peace and Truth to the world, thank you for this work. Thank you for your kindness and time. I appreciate it very much, Keep the faith,Sister!!! Hugs to you!!! Love CB
One of my favorite subjects to draw and paint, too! I have had the same problem with the lips. I have a oil painting I have been working on for two years because I keep redoing his lips! This is a very good drawing.
How lovely PM...I like this very much! And reading you comment...I drew him once and it came out fairly good, gave it to my mom.....haven't been able to do another...weird huh?
Penny, this is one of the nicest portrayals of Jesus I have seen: serene dignity combined with strength and compassion... his countenance reflects conviction and forgiveness. Short of having photographic reference, you have captured his qualities beautifully!
