The Illuminated Manuscript Project: Genesis, Chapters Three and Four (NIV)

In my first post, I explained that I am trying my hand at producing an illuminated manuscript. I am going by the NIV version of the Bible so that I can understand the text more easily in order to make accurate illustrations, and I think it's also easier for other people to read and enjoy. I am not using very expensive materials because this is kind of  a practice for me. I am using the opportunity to work out what works and what doesn't. 

I am producing this manuscript in a hardbound sketchbook, so the paper is not very expensive or heavy. This has caused bleedthrough on some of the pages, so I hope you will take this in the spirit of endeavour and be forgiving. 


Chapter Three


The last line of this page ends with "...you will strike his heel."



Chapter Four








To see any picture enlarged, just click! You can also click on the first picture and scroll through them, which is probably the best way to do this. I'll publish another installment later and be sure to link it here.
