Day one hundred and forty-one: All the chatter about rapture this weekend led me to sketch an apocalyptic figure: St. Michael. I’ve toyed with angelic subjects a couple times in the last month or so, always copying versions by other artists. Before the world ends, I thought I should try my hand at one from my own imagination, and decided on a detail in which Michael is about engage in battle. It’s quite sophomoric, but I didn’t have much time to fix errors. The use of Conte crayon is something new, and is a medium I’d like to explore more.
why?
