Sketch page before bed, i have GOT to get better at Drawing

Pencil sketch of a comic. Panel 1: A young boy in a choir boy outfit is praying. He begins the Lord's prayer. Panel 2: Closer up on his face, his eyes scrunched up, he says "Father, I'm so lonely, I wish I could hear you. Nobody sits with me at lunch and I'm always alone." Four panels follow with the boy through time, from his studying to graduation to work as a priest and finally to being made a Cardinal.ALT
A panel of Cardinals watching the funeral procession of the Pope. Then a panel of the crowd at the Vatican watching for the white smoke. A panel of darkness. Then a panel of that same darkness being lit up by white smoke. The boy, now an old man, is crowned Pope. Trumpets bare as the hat is put on his head. Night.ALT
A panel shows the new Pope alone in a lavishly decorated room. He is kneeling, praying. A panel mirroring his childhood prayers, he says "Father, it has been so long. Finally, I can hear you." Closer up on his eyes filled with horror and realization, he says, "Father?" Finally, a panel of him alone, praying in the darkness. The title is at the bottom, "Holy Ghosted"ALT

trying to get more comfy with posting unfinished/sketchy/ugly art

Im never going to ACTUALLY draw this but i want it to be known that im obsessed w the psychological horror of the pope not actually getting to talk to god after all that

Ok im gone
