I can't recall the commandment to Christians to draw/paint/sculpt images of Jesus. Can you refresh my memory?

Having an Image vs Worshiping that image = Big difference.

I believe I'll leave such details up to God, and instead stick to what He tells me.

Dangus cites a command God gave to Moses - as though (presumably) that settles the matter for everyone for all time - while Joe acknowledges he's been given no similar command.

Moses didn't have to try and justify an exception, because he could point to a command from God. None of you have been able to do that.

So that leaves me wondering...By what authority are you drawing/painting/sculpting/using images of Jesus?

Seems to me you have more authority to "make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole". That's a command that's at least actually IN the Bible.
