Question

Do I need to draw a halo?

Community Answer

Since Jesus's halo wasn't visible when he was walking around on the earth, it's by no means necessary.

Question

Is that what God really looks like?

Community Answer

Actually, these are just simple ideas. No one knows what God looks like. If we saw what he looked like, we would be filled with fear. That is why in the Bible, God had to cover his face and show only his back side to the people in the Old Testament.

Question

How do you draw the eyes and everything realistically?

Community Answer

Use shading, highlighting, and blending. If you don't have a blender, you can use your finger, and for highlighting you can use a white pencil. You also want a good eraser.

Question

How do I erase unnecessary lines on the face?

Community Answer

You can just use a standard eraser, but do so gently to avoid smudging any other lines.

Question

Do I have to use a sketch pen to do my outlines?

Community Answer

No. You can do your outlines with any pencil, pen, marker, brush, etc. Outlining simply accentuates the scene; you don't have to include it at all if you don't want to.

Question

I can't erase the extra lines without erasing the face. What should I do?

Community Answer

That's okay. Even if you erase some of the lines, the imprint of the erased face will probably still be visible. Trace the face outline again.

Question

What is God's hair color?

Community Answer

The Bible reads, "The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow". We can assume God's hair is white and curly.

Question

What do we do when we try to draw it but we only have a bit of space?

Zack

Top Answerer

When there is limited space, you can focus upon a smaller portion of the subject. For example, instead of drawing the entire person, only draw the hand... or instead of the whole face, only draw an eye.

Question

What colour is the cross?

Zack

Top Answerer

The cross can be whatever colour that you choose because photography did not exist and we don't have any source to look at. It was probably a dark wood. I like to blend purple into orange to make a wood look.

Question

How do I draw Jesus nailed to the cross?

Zack

Top Answerer

Find a good source image from the internet. Practice by copying what you see in the image. Recognize your intent for greater focus. However, do ask yourself why you want to draw Jesus on the cross instead of Jesus resurrected and alive.
