Illustration - pencil crayon and pen on paper: Some illustration work I've been doing for English language learners (see more at www.phrasalfanatics.wordpress.com)
I'm on a role so I might as well complete the Evangelists. :) This is St. Mark the gospel writer of yeah, you guessed it, Mark. He's on his symbolic Lion, besides the Regal symbolism I always thought the Lion was also because there are more exorcisms in Mark than any other Gospel (When ya think Lions ya think of battles and for him spiritual ones). But yeah, He's all about Christ the King n stuff, you know how they say that the Lion is the King of the Jungle, well Big J.C. is King of the Universe! :P
Happy Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist! He who prophesied the Christ in the Womb! Our Church is called St. John the Baptist so it is a particular special feast for us. It was also the name one of the Churches that St. Benedict started. Why? Because St. John the Baptist (along with Elijah and Moses) is a type or model of the Monk. Jesus of course is himself the Ideal Monk to follow, in whom all true monks follow the example of. Of course I'm talking Christian Catholic Monks. St. John the Baptist, Pray for Us!
I am doing a 30 day face improvement challenge that I work on a face everyday for 30 days this is my first one and hopefully by the time I uploads again I will have improved lots and lots but only time will tell see you soon
This was inspired by the artwork of AnneliesDraws. She has an amazing skills with gouache and colored pencils. I don't have gouache paints and so I tried making an illustration using my watercolor paints. I tried increasing the opacity of the watercolor to almost the same as of the gouache paints.
By the way, this is her instagram:

First drawing I did of her as a newly designed character because I did not like the way she looked before.on my sketchbook (it's not great) she's the third female demon I created,she's fun to draw."a very feisty although understanding princess who tries her best to protect her kingdom."
Hopefully this major occurrence brings about positive changes in preparedness, mindsets, practices, and concerns. Maybe the world just needed a quick reset where everything was "still" for a moment as a reminder or refresher. The silver lining in my mind is that this sets a better trajectory for future things to come and perspectives as well as for priorities to become more clear for everyone as individuals and a world working together.
The GobKing of old was rumored to have used his own parents skulls for the drumsticks. He waged a war so great and horrendous that none dare speak of it in Nornwan.
One of my "gestures" from a couple days ago (20-30 minutes?). I'm super out of practice and taking too many shortcuts. I'm hoping to get back into doing regular gesture practice this year.
