Colorizing Reunion


Found this sketch of Jacob and Esau by jesusonlysavior.deviantart.com while I was doing research for a sermon title slide a month or so ago. The reference for the sermon was going to be the reuniting of Jacob and Esau after Jacob had swindled his older brother out of the birthright and ran off. I downloaded a copy of the black and white sketch of this scene for inspiration - inspiration of the kind of emotional quality I was hoping to achieve with the slide. The actual sermon slide ended up being some visual pun about burying the hatchet. The sketch sat on my desktop for a week or so before I felt compelled to colorize it. I wish I was better at the whole light source thing. I tend to ignore the light sources when I'm coloring and tend to color whatever part however I feel like coloring it. I'm sure if I started keeping that more at the forefront of my mind, the end products would be better overall.
Anyway, I enjoyed working on this. I've posted it on my deviant art page, but haven't posted much else on there yet, so don't you all run over there to see what's new because you've seen the newest stuff since I post them here first. It's hard to keep up my online portfolio, this blog, the deviant art page, the behance page, the writing portfolio, the flickr and pintrest and.... yeah, you get the idea. Somewhere in there I've got to do some real living - in which skills, I'm sorely lacking.

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

     I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day.  Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL  Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
