St.Joseph

Description

Here's something different for you. Rather than the typical, sappy weakling pictures of St.Joseph,I decided to him look a bit more manly. Most pictures of him look like if you cut the lips and eyes out, you could use them for mascara or lipstick ads.

ANYWAYS, I was inspired by this photo: [link] to draw this. It was the perfect model, the perfect pose. This one is actually a bit of a work in progress, since I need more yellow markers for the fabric, but I think it's good enough to submit now.

Around St.Joseph's halo are words from the office of his feast day,'Qui custos Domini sui glorificabuntur"- "He who keeps/takes care of his Lord shall be glorified." Most appropriate for the man who took care of a child that was also his God.

Blick and copic markers, sepia and grey staedtler fineliners.
