Almost there. Just not dramatic enough...
Isaiah update: color, shaded, and put into photoshop. 

Next step: adding a background/ text

Isaiah's Birthday drawing (2012)

So last week was Isaiah's 10th birthday. Unfortunately, it lined up at the same time as the year end drawing, so I didnt have enough time.

It just so happens that I purchased a house this week, and been pretty busy, so I havent been able to start his drawing until tonight. That means theres not much time to put work into this before the printing place closes tomorrow...


Isaiah really likes football. Heres hoping for a really good drawing!

2010 Drawings cont'd

In addition to the birthday drawings, I made some time to draw some seasonal illustrations as well:

Easter. Now just for the record, the resurrection of Christ from the grave is the true meaning of Easter. The reason why this was drawn was because the kids and I were sitting down and deciding what kind of drawing to do for our missionary. They wanted me to draw a dog in a bunny costume holding a basket of broccoli. Go figure. 

Hey now, what's this all about?

My name is Girish, and I love drawings cartoons.

I think it's important to understand what our purpose is in what we do. In the Summer of 2010, I discovered that purpose: to bring honor to the name of Jesus Christ. He loves me, and gave himself up for me, for my sake.  For that, I owe him everything I got. Including my drawings. 

In fall of the same year, I began teaching Sunday School. This was a exciting opportunity to show kids God's love through my passion of illustration.  So here is my collection of 2010-'11birthday drawings for my grade 3 class.  I would draw each kid's drawing based on 3 things:

                                                              • Favorite Animal
                                                              • Favorite Color
                                                              • Favorite Activity

The results were some pretty wacky drawings. Very good practice, I'd say!
