christians need to stop defining "miracles" as something that has no scientific explanation, therefore it must be god. most miracles can be explained by science and logic, and those that can't yet will be eventually. and that's okay! it doesn't disprove the existence of god just because it's explainable. the miracle of it was that a million little things had to be perfectly aligned in order for it to happen. the miracle is that it happened, however unlikely.. not that we can't explain why.

"how can you believe in God if there is so much evil" "if God is so powerful but kind why doesn't he just destroy all evil" "if your God is so kind and just, why does he let evil happen"...

What I think people don't realize is, He doesn't let evil happen. I see God among the freedom fighters, protecting them. I see God where there is fight for justice. I see God where there is love and compassion, among the people helping the homeless, among the ones helping the oppressed, the people helping animals and cleaning up the cities, the ones planting trees and tending to things. I see God in the protestors. Each and every one is guided by God's hand, no matter who they are.

Will probably redraw it

[sacredheart-stigmata]

Shout out to June for being both Pride month and the month of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, got to be the best month pairing out there.

Name me a more iconic duo than Jesus’ flaming Heart and us flaming queers. You can’t. There is none.

Quiet Time

There is a specific reason behind this composition.

While the vertical format is great for smartphone screens, I also wanted to use negative space to create a distinct mood.

I believe that negative space can express a character's inner emotions. In this piece, the character is small, and the background takes up about 80% of the canvas. By drawing the character so small, I can evoke a sense of loneliness and solitude.

Another key point is the placement of the cloud shadows. I intentionally kept Caine out of the shadow. You can see the boundary between the light and the cloud shadow. I used this high contrast to make the character stand out and emphasize their presence.

Finally, let us look at Caine's angle. I purposely hid Caine's face and positioned them to show their back. If their expression were visible, this artwork would probably feel cute rather than lonely. I enjoy drawing figures from angles where you cannot see their faces. This approach leaves room for viewers to wonder what the character is thinking.

I hope you enjoy discovering these little details and techniques that I put into my everyday artwork💡
