In His Image

This spring I heard about the LDS International Art Competition that they hold every three years. The theme is "Make known his wonderful works". I came up with an idea and during the summer I did four drawings trying to get what I wanted on paper the way I pictured it in my head. This was my final result. The main idea of the drawing is that we are God's most wonderful work. We often look in the mirror and see all of our faults, but we need to be like this little girl and see who we really are - a child of God.  I entered the contest back in October, and this week I heard that I did not make it into the exhibit. I am a little bummed, but it was a good experience and it was worth a try. I will try again in three years. In the mean time, I hope to improve my skills and technique and keep moving forward.

 (You will notice I put a watermark on the drawing. I am trying this out. I keep seeing things about photos being stolen from the web, so this is my feeble attempt to protect my drawings. We will see how it works.)
