Dupont drawing sketches




More live model drawing with the group.


Getting ready for long poses next week. Need to draw fully rendered eggs by Sunday so a better understanding of form through lights and darks and the value scale will be achieved. Still seeing some errors in proportion, masses and form but am currently pleased to see some improvement in the work and am excited about further improvement.


Soli Deo Gloria!

Spider Attaaaaack. Pewpewpewpewpew.

Need to remove them from rock, redo base, redo man and make him more realistic and add a clearer action line.





Sculpture 2

Second sculpture. Red clay. Around 10 hours put into this piece so far. Will try to add a couple more finishes tomorrow, God-willing. If not, oh well.

John Stott in 'The Contemporary Christian' - “We stand between the Word and the world with consequent obligation to listen to both. We listen to the Word to discover even more of the riches of Christ. We listen to the world in order to discern which of Christ’s riches are needed most and how to present them in their best light.”

Sculpting Updates

Found the article below on Christcentric. Good stuff. 

“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.  All this is gathered up in that emotion which most cleanses us from selfishness because it is the most selfless of all emotions – adoration.” William Temple


Sculpture time again. My camera is slowly dying so everything is blurry. This piece is slowly drying but I am frustrated with the face and will have to rework it tomorrow, God-willing.


Arglfargl. Face is so off. I need to go back in.


New piece is on the way. The pose looked absurdly excruciating. I felt bad for the model but she was a trooper and wanted to get a more challenging pose for us since she was an artist herself. Props. Day one was today. More to come tomorrow.





Still not satisfied with the skill level that i have. Working towards getting better for Him. In the meantime, i shall continue to update this blog with progress pieces. It would be interesting to see whether improvement or retrogression will have happened a year from now.
