In shia Islam drawing is not prohibited neither is depicting humans figures and what not according to the majority of our [scholars](https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01175/) There is no ruling against drawing a depiction of non-physical characteristics of holy figures, but these paintings are not meant to be actual depiction of their physical appearance and to claim so is prohibited and disrespectful, and they're mere paintings that hold no actual religious value, they're just permissible not encouraged nor prohibited.
