At Hollywood Presbyterian Church for Lent this year, we are having a special all-campus study and small group time, called “Face to Face.” Thematically, it’s built around scriptural encounters of Jesus with specific people. One of the fun elements that the planners added was having people draw portraits of Jesus – or anyone – on 8 1/2 inch square cards. These are of course, rough drawings. Drawing ability is not a factor. Expressing oneself is. It’s apparently turning into a special element (they will start displaying these drawings on the campus next week).
I did one the first week of this series (March 16). I had to miss the next Sunday, but was at church again yesterday. I had done one on the 16th, but stupidly forgot to take a picture of it on my tablet (I take the tablet to church, because I have a Bible on it… plus my calendar, and various other things). And yesterday, the same thing happened. I did a second sketch, turned it in, walked away… and then later realized I’d forgotten to take a picture of it.
However on the 16th, I did some doodling on the worksheet we had for the small group. This was it —
It’s a bit fuzzy because I messed up the distance between the drawing and the tablet.
But to give you a better idea of the context of this sketch —
This sketch is actually rather tiny. I just wanted to see what I could do with just straight lines.
Just another day with a pen and some (partially) blank paper.
