One of our teachers is expecting a new baby in March! I wanted to make her family something special for the baby's room. I adapted the design on her shower invitation to make this hand painted sign.

I absolutely fell in love with this painting of Jesus by artist Akiane Kramarik titled:
Prince Of Peace, 36"x48", Age 8 (2003), © Copyright


 To see this work, and other amazing pieces by Akiane Kramarik, visit her website http://www.akiane.com/store/

I really wanted to draw this summer and because I loved  Akiane Kramarik's painting so much I decided to do my best to render it in graphite and charcoal.

I'll describe my process and show how the drawing progresses to help students see one person's drawing process.

 I am using pencil and charcoal pencil. That gray thing that looks like "sticky tac" is called a kneaded eraser... some of you have seen those being used in a video!
Noticed how the drawing slowly progresses over time. I started with a simple line drawing and then added in shadows. I work on one area and move on to another. I am not finishing one tiny piece and moving on, I'm letting the drawing progress at the same pace.
