#7 in my two week long series on drawings I have done in church.
Sometimes a sermon or a reading or something from the alter will be the impetus for a
drawing. In this case it was the last paragraph mentioning foreign women that got my
imagination going. I chose a milk bath so I wouldn’t be drawing her breasts in church,
which I figure would distract and bother someone who might be watching me draw.
This week I continue the church drawings, but these were all done in my bible. The
bible had sayings here and there, fit in between the scripture. I would drawing over
those sayings, or on the blank, end of chapter pages.
This one was of a teenager in church and I imagined what she was thinking while the
pastor droned on about things she really didn’t care about.

This is the fifth in a week long series of drawings I did while in church.
I don’t remember the sermon that day but I can guarantee it had something to do with
football, probably was around the Superbowl.
Fourth in a week long series of drawings I have done while in church.
I have no idea where the heck the sermon was going when I drew this one, but it was
drawn in December so it was likely a christmas story that was being dealt with.

This week I am showing a series of drawings I have done in Church. I have been drawing in church for at least 25 years or so. I find it is a great way to internalize the message, or the environment, feel, moment, spirit, that is hitting me at the time.

Just something different for fun.
This is from my sketchbook back in the 90s, with some colorizing from some early
digital software.
I noticed the woman in the distance drawing me while I waited at the coffee house for
my friend who was going to model for me. When she arrived I did some drawings of her,
then some photos. All the while the woman in the background was drawing me. This was
quite ironic since I had met my model while drawing her at another coffee house just
days before.
We were right next to a big picture window and my friend had this luminous glow on
her skin from the sky reflecting into the space. Meanwhile back in the establishment
the woman doing the drawing was bathed in indoor incandescent light. I loved the
contrast and did my best to get both in one image. I could have worked out an image
that had both in focus but I liked the blurred image in the back since you could see
all you needed to in it without the focus.
