How to Draw a Realistic Mary (Madonna of the Streets)

In today’s tutorial, I demonstrate how you can draw realistically using the grid method. I used Roberto Ferruzzi’s Madonnina (Madonna of the Streets) as my reference image.


Below is a free JPG and PDF image reference with practice space for creating a 4×6″ drawing. The JPG and PDF can be printed on standard letter sized paper (8.5×11″).

How to Make an Ascension of Jesus Flip Book

In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to make a flip book of Jesus ascending into Heaven! Back when I first re-launched my YouTube channel, this was one of the first lesson ideas I brainstormed and I’m so happy to finally be able to share it with you.

Back when I was a K-12 art teacher, flip books were always a hit lesson! Young kids can grasp the concepts and older tweens and teens can really get creative with it.
