Pro

Step-by-step: Start with the background: Draw a city footpath — maybe a shopfront, street signs, or buildings. Lightly sketch 5–6 people walking past. Make them all facing the same direction to show they’re not noticing the person sitting down. Make them look “invisible”: Shade those walking people lightly with pencil or use grey markers so they look faded or black and white. Keep their faces blank or turned away. Draw the main figure (the homeless person): In the centre or near the edge of the path, draw someone sitting cross-legged on the ground, maybe wrapped in a blanket or hoodie. Add small details like a backpack or cardboard sign. Add colour and light: Colour only this person — use warm tones (reds, browns, yellows). Draw a soft glow or light halo around them to show God’s presence or dignity. See more
