This is the second in this series for a religious publisher. The colour palette and illustration style has been consolidated. Again inking was done with a crowquill pen nib, flat oils and airbrush for the colour. I have however discovered a new pen in Painter X through the generous sharing of a colleague Maurie Manning, the Scratch tool. Feels like a real pen nib.

The more I experiment with Painter X the more I love this program. I often have to do a double-take to realize that I am sitting in front of my Cintiq tablet and not standing in front of my easel. The accompanying biblical illustration was created using the crow quill pen tool, flat oil brushes, blender brushes and an assortment of others. The image was created entirely in Painter from sketch to final art.
