Western Sketches

Here are a couple of western sketches I did.

John Curriculum - New Webspace

I just finished uploading the John curriculum for children that we created to a new home on the internet. It is found at http://crossersjohncurriculum.blogspot.com/. There are 23 full color story cards, as well as 23 color sheets to go with them. The stories are in Italian, so those will have to come later, but if you have a Bible you can create your own stories in the meantime. Let me know if you have any questions.

A Little Girl's Tea Party sketch

And here is the follow up to the Boy's Football Dream sketch, it is "A Little Girl's Tea Party".

Sketch From Dinner

I like going to those restaurants where they use paper for a tablecloth or placemat. Then I can doodle or sketch while I wait for my food. Here is one I did at an Irish restaurant, called Highlander, where we went for Heidi Rotert's birthday.

Paper Dolls - Italian Style

This is an idea I am working on for promoting our ministry in Italy. Not sure when I will work on it some more though....

Follow Up Idea to My Football Boy

Here is an idea I had today, as a follow up to the boy playing football with his stuffed animals pic that I posted earlier. I will work on it later.

Several Drawings from the Coffee House

Here are a few ink sketches I made at the Coffee House. People watch and it gives us something to talk about.

The Church is the Bride

A few weeks ago, we had a special celebration service and both of our Life Groups met together. Jason was speaking about the different things that come to mind when you hear "church" and he asked me to do a special art thing. Basically, while he was speaking I was to draw whatever came to my mind about the church. One of my favorite views, is that of the bride. So, I sought to do some sort of piece with that in mind. So here it is and a close-up of Jesus' face below.

In Honor of Football Season Starting

I was inspired by the upcoming football season, that starts this weekend. First, is my original sketch scanned, then the colored pencil version. I don't use colored pencil that often, but I always like it when I do.

Hairstyles: Women

One of the things that I have always had the most difficulty drawing is women's hairstyles. First of all, there are tons of them, and being a man, I am not privy to dressing my hair in any of their styles. So, when I found myself standing alone at the airport while we were taking our summer interns to fly out, I pulled out my trusty moleskin and started to sketch. The bad thing about getting up at 4:30 AM to go to the airport is that it is at 4:30 in the morning, enough said. The good thing is that the airport is packed and everyone is dressed nice, ready to go to wherever they are going. So, noticing all the different hairstyles, I thought it an ideal time to sketch some of what I was seeing. Here is the scanned page out of my moleskin.
