Hey everyone!

There are days I feel very inspired to make art and real fast too. I've made three new artworks and put very nice religious quotes from what I've read.

Feel free to share and get a copy of your own.

🙏⚜️God bless you⚜️🙏

I was reading "Imitation of Christ" by Thomas à Kempis. This artwork, I made some color variations too.

Process

Here's my process photos.
I used adobe sketch app for smart phone.
My process is:

1. Basic shapes
2. Sketch
3. Color fill background
4. Darken background
5. Add highlights
6. Emphasize highlight

My style here is dark to light.

Goals

What are my goals and thoughts toward these artworks?

➡️ First of all, I was aiming to express art in a more creative way.

🎨Create an artwork that tells a story🎨
Artworks should often be clear and the message needs to be obvious at least by the symbols and the setting. The challenge here is to put more than just a picture, create something that people can imagine ideas about and they can figure out a story that the artist wants to convey.

➡️ Express Chrisrianity
I want to use my art for God and His glory, so my theme is religious. I am Catholic, and we have a deep theology about iconography and expressing religious art similar to the Holy Theotokos or other Christian art back in the day in 2 century AD. I wanted to at least try and express the same things.

🎨 Create art that expresses my belief🎨

➡️ New art style or process
This (1) dark to light art process, and (2) Simple logo art, is kind of new to me. I wanted to challenge myself to go out of my comfort zone and just aim for a neat, clean and good artwork that stemmed from my idea and inspirations.

🎨 Try new art styles🎨

Keep trying!

What I usually imagine in my head doesn't come out 100% exactly the same, if I would rate it, it would come out just 20% to 40% similar.

Why? There are hindrances, lack of skill, or the process or materials/tools are never the same or prepared for.

But what matters is I 100% created my idea which is mine, original and accurate to the theme and message I wanted to convey.

Perhaps more practice will make my creation more precise.

I will keep practicing.

Thank you!

Artistic critique is very much welcome and appreciated.

⚜️Hope if any catholics would come across this and appreciate the beauty of our faith and beauty and love for Jesus and His saints. Pax Christi⚜️

Any concerns regarding apologetics, doctrine or dogma will be addressed if needed.

Trolls and hostile comments will be disregarded or reported and muted. Thank you!
