Knocking


I realized that I never posted about how I created this page!  

Materials:  Clear Gesso, Black Pitt Pen, Watercolor Pencils, Watercolor markers, Lightbox

Method:
  1. Page Prep: I started by preparing my Bible page with a couple thin layers of clear gesso so the artwork wouldn't bleed through to the back side of the page.
  2. Image Prep: As with most of my hand-drawn thing images, I started by doing a google search for something related - biblical characters in this case - so I could get some ideas of how to draw what I wanted.  Then I drew with pencil on plain paper until I was happy with the drawing.  I also have several papers that are cut to the size of my Bible margin so I can more easily lay out my words.  Once I had things laid out the way I wanted, I used a light box to lightly transfer the image to my Bible page.  
  3. Coloring: Next, I colored the images and words - then went over outlines with my pit pen.  The yellow light beams around the word "BEHOLD" were made with a marker.
