Hand Drawn Art - "Save a Life"



Today, I am not going to post much. I am not going to discuss any art techniques. I am not going to lecture or discuss the art. Just going to ask one question. With all the evil and brokenness in the world, what are you doing to save a life?

Think about it.

While you're thinking, feel free to listen to, "Save a Life" by Manic Drive, who inspired today's post/art.

Hand Drawn Art - Awakening

Worship inspired me today to draw a bit on the back of the sermon notes as I was listening. His Place's worship band preformed one of my favorite praise songs, "Awakening" by Hillsong. I appreciate the song, "Awakening" because it reminds me to rekindle my passion for serving God everyday. I wake up everyday, so why not reawaken my passion for the Lord everyday?

 Unsurprisingly, I find hand drawing entertaining and relaxing. Although computer art is fascinating and enjoyable, it doesn't allow my mind to wander hand drawing does. Lately, I have wanted to experiment with cross-hatch shading for a while and so I did today! For those who don't know, cross-hatch shading is a type of shading using lines that aren't smoothed out. In my picture you can see the cross-hatch shading most in the word, "Awakening". Cross-hatching shading is usually used to show depth. I used cross-hatching to make the words seem almost 3D. Well, that is all for today!
