As one of the most common figures painted and drawn in Western art, it is safe to say that the image of Jesus has been altered into its own description and portrayal. This is one of the reasons behind the confusion and the contrast of the truth. In Western culture, Jesus is drawn with pale skin, a long beard, wavy long hair, and is always wearing white. Some interpretations feature him as a blonde with blue eyes and others with dark hair.

Alexamenos Graffito

The Alexamenos graffito is a piece of graffiti found on a wall in Rome, it dates back between the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD. The drawing was supposedly drawn by a Roman who was in fact mocking a Christian soldier. The image apparently is representative of Jesus being crucified and uses much symbolism, it is the perfect example of how drawings can be inaccurate and have been shifted and changed throughout history.
