Pencil Rendering For Father John Chrzan

The pencil drawing was done as a gift for Father John’s “21st” Birthday. The birthday celebration was posted on the doors of the chapel so we had time to plan the event. I drew Father John’s portrait in the same way as that of Father Christian Shiu, which was a live sitting during the birthday party. Father John was an excellent model, because he did not move.

Mass

When I came to the 8:00 AM mass on Friday morning, while I was sitting during mass, I realized that I had left my drawing satchel at home. Father John is an excellent priest, because he know the Bible.

Chapel

When I got back to the church, everyone was in the multi-purpose room below the Chapel, which we use for Knights of Columbus. Everyone was there from mass and we had cake and ice-cream with other treats. After the photos and the blessing I sat down with father and commenced to draw him. Because Father John is a good model, because he looks at you. All humor set aside, Father John was well mannered and we had a polite conversation, where I was telling him about my home parish of St. Philip Neri in South Shore, and Mendel Catholic High School.

Portrait

All in all the portrait took about 10 minutes to draw. Most importantly, we all love Father John and we all wish you Happy Birthday!
