Crucifixion of lord jesus: Drawing / Painting Process.

Hello everyone. Today I want share with you a creation process of one of my digital illustrations. Last year I was practicing a lot as I had been out of touch with sketching and illustrations for a very long time. That time I really felt that my skills were growing dull as I couldn't draw as good as I used to.

So, I decided to do some practice drawing and record them. This is one of those practices and the images are extracted from the video.

This illustration depicts the Crucifixion of the lord Jesus Christ and mind you, that I haven't used any reference whatsoever for this illustration, however, some would say that the body is too buffed, I do agree with that but still I am quite happy with the final result.

Final Illustration

I will do a digital sculpture of the same. Lets get right into the process.

Step 1

First, I created a very rough and basic shape of the body using the normal round brush.

Step 2

Using the basic drawing as a guide, I created another but slightly detailed body. The brush size I used this time was smaller than before as I wanted this drawing to be more detailed than the previous one.

Step 3

After that I began to draw more detailed forms to get to the next level. Here is the image of the legs with quads, knees and calves completed. I wasn't happy with the right leg.

Step 4

Then, I moved to torso and arms and started adding details to the illustration by drawing small muscles like teres major and serratus anterior. Also, refined the arm a bit.

Step 5

After finishing the torso and the arm, I added a basic head.

Step 6

After head placement, I finally finished drawing the right arm.

Step 7

Moved back to the head as this was the only thing that needed some details. So I laid down the facial features, hair beard and crown of thorns. I had to redraw the face so many times and finally got this one. This could be even better but I thought its not bad for a practice I will cover this up after facial anatomy study.

Step 8

Then I cleaned up the torso a little bit.

Step 9

After that I added a cross. It wasn't hard at all.

Step 10

Then, I moved to more little details like hands and fingers so I added hands and nails.

Step 11

Finally added a cloth to complete the drawing. I wasn't good at drawing clothes but this wasn't that difficult.

Step 12

One more thing that I am bad at - drawing hair. So, I moved back to hair and refined them a bit.

Step 13

After that I added a basic lighting. This light was like it was coming from the main source.

Step 14

Then I added the shadows and added details to the abdominal area.

Step 15

I painted the cross with a dark shade just to add the focus to the main drawing.

Step 16

Refined the beard and mustaches.

Step 17

And this is the final painting / Illustration.
