I love anything Pencils and for this, I celebrate your work.

You've captured a beautiful image and I'm more impressed with your editing and the vignette around it.

I'm not sure this is the perfect description for a Jesus figure, except that the media has fed the world with this description.

But that's for the theologians to argue about.

And now to your work.

Your attention to details is quite commendable. I must say your patience is inspiring. How you were able to pick out the helm of his garment is amazing. And your finishing is superb, making it come out as a black and white photograph.

Well done.
You really deserve all the accolades you get. Well done once again.

    Working with a graphite pencil is very rewarding. You can achieve so much depth and spirituality in your work. Your work is amazing. Thank you for your wonderful review.

This is an absolutely stunning piece of pencil drawings!
I love the subject that has been very well drawn, the shading work is excellent especially in the hair, the contrasts within the highlights is another superb area and how they really bring out the detail and forms of the robe that he is wearing thay match those stone steps, I want to give 6 because it deserves nothing less but all that I can give is a cyber 6!!

Excellent graphite drawing showing Jesus bathing before entering the temple. Excellent use of light and shade and blending. I like how you've shown the difference between the textures of hair, skin and clothing. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Wow! I have always admired those who can draw images likes this! Incredible detail; the clothing, the bricks, and especially the water coming off of His hands. Great job I wish you luck in the contest.

    MK, my friend. I have been to the depths of hell, sorrow and hopelessness crushing my soul. I held my daughter in my arms as she died. I saw her last heartbeat. I felt that God had abandoned me. Now I know that He never left me. My daughter, Alyssa, is with Him for eternity. My Jesus.
Comment from helvi2


Your drawing is do precise and well drawn that it looks like a BW photo! Every fold of the material is shaded just right. The proportions of the body are
perfect. A truly beautiful drawing of Jesus! So worth 6 stars! Exceptional entry for the "E" Contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

Comment from David Ruhl


Linda, you have another masterpiece here! So much detail and perfect lighting and shading. I am especially drawn to the details in the stones, and the fringe on His garment. This is a wonderful way to glorify our Lord.

Dave
