Religion is the single most vile and insidious method of enslaving ones fellow humans, in both mind and body, ever conceived by the mind of man, for the sole purpose of keeping them in thrall for power and profit!

I also have a Van Gogh that influenced me for my illustration on the cover of a children’s book…

One like in 7 months? What am I doing wrong?

One like in seven months. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Once the sense of even being here.

Very nice rendering. 👍🏻

Excellent rendering. 👍🏻

I’m no beginner. Used a combination of Berol color pencils and pro Sennelier oil pastels. Use them for all my published illustrations for children’s books and ads.

Colored pencil is more forgiving than watercolor. Very good work. I combine oil pastel with colored pencil. You should try it.

Wow. Only one like in weeks.

I agree. Hands are the hardest to draw. Used to think it was the eyes. But I have since mastered that. As an illustrator for over 30 years…I spend more time on hands than any other part of anatomy.

You are welcome.

One thing for sure…Marx was not in favor of slavery. Don’t forget that England had already ended their slave trade decades before 1861.The secessionists in the south ( Confederacy) refused to end the slave trade.

We must be from the same generation of artists? I’m still using my Rapidograph pens.
