"But when these signs begin to happen,
stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand."
Luke 21:28
What signs?
The end of the world signs!
Earthquakes, upheavals, drought,
storms, etc.
Bad news?
Terrifying news?
Not for those who believe!
In the Good News, I mean!
"How beautiful are the feet
of those who bring Good News!"
Romans 10:15
I would like to be the bearer of Good News!
I'm sure you would too!
And what could be the best news
but that in spite of all the upheavals
and bad storms and earthquakes
happening in the world today,
we are not alone,
our God is working for our benefit,
and will work ALL bad things for our good!
Well, when I wanted to illustrate
Romans 10:15,
I could not see how I could draw
a whole body with feet in 30 minutes-
which is all the time I have early in the morning!
So I looked for a picture
and traced it!!!
I should have made her face bigger though!
I kind of like how it turned out!
I have said this before,
but my sister Peggy says that
if we want to learn to draw faces,
hands, bodies, positions,
one of the best way is to trace.
The muscles of our hands will remember.
That is how she learned
how to draw her beautiful faces!

Hi Patsy ~ I found you on Intentional Me. I love your pictures - you do good work! God bless!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried that strategy of tracing over magazine pictures to practice figure drawing. Thanks for the tip; I will have to give it a try. You are so amazingly prolific with your work! :-)
ReplyDeleteinspirational post! God is always with us. We will never be afraid. Lovely drawings and definitely will try tracing to learn portrait more. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteOh, Patsy, you are such a blessing. Thanks for sharing with us yet again this week, and for sharing from your heart. God is certainly using you to reach and touch others with some very powerful, true, and helpful information. I'm SO grateful that we get to be a part of it. Thanks for sharing!

I always love your inspiring posts and yes God is always with us. Love your pieces, excellent work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love the background in the second page, and your words as usual are so uplifting. I don't think there's anything wrong with tracing. I do it, too, especially when I'm stuck, or in a hurry. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that tracing is a valuable tool... I taught for many years and think that it helps train the hand and eye to find the lines... you got a great result with it
