Description

I hope you all had a great Easter ^^

This drawing was heavily modeled after this photo...4.bp.blogspot.com/-yZs1yHFUaeM… and this painting a little bit...www.dominicanablog.com/wp-cont…

My family usually watches Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' on Good Friday each year. I really admire Jim Caviezel's performance as Jesus. He presents Him in a very human way yet, with a certain strength and dignity that is just captivating :) That's how I wanted to present Him here. Usually, when I attempt to draw Jesus, I either simply try to make Him as beautiful as possible, or stuff as much sentiment into the drawing as possible...or both...but I decided I didn't want to make Him look too "pretty". I wanted to give the impression of a man who has walked on this earth. I'm very happy with the way this turned out ^o^

Also, I tryed a slightly different coloring style than I normally do. I ended up getting rid of a lot of the blues that I normally use in my drawings because I wanted the picture to feel warmer.

The Man who walked on earth was the most beautiful creature human eyes had ever seen- no amount of dust, sweat, or grit could take it away from Him- both His physical and spiritual beauty.
