  Materials: brown ink, black ink, pencil, paintbrush, water pen, ink pen Process: I first used a grid to draw the figure and then I pressed him onto the page, After this, I filled in the church in the background. I used the ink pen to cross hatch different amounts of ink onto the figure and church, this resulted in the different shade on his robe and in the background.  Ideas. This portrait is of Catholicos Kevork the fifth also known as the “sorrowful” this picture is the first part of a three piece story in my portfolio. In this photo, so have him sitting in his seat of power, The church of Etchmiadzin. This church is where he governed and guided the Armenian church through the Armenian genocide. He kept 70,000 refugees at this church. I depicted him here because wit is the start of the story of the battle of sardarabad where this church was under threat. When advised to leave for his own safety, he refused, hence why he is sitting in the church, as he was it’s head.

 This is my finished piece. I used a Paintbrush for the ink in the background to give it a solid look. I also used water pens for the stone. For the man, i used black ink and hatched the lines to give him color and texture.

 I used a grid to draw and transfer an image of the man onto the paper. I drew the interior of the church behind him, and used the ink pen using varying amounts and types of strokes to get different tones. I then used water pens to blend this. I did the same with the black ink as well.
