The Illuminated Manuscript Project: Genesis, Chapters Nine and Ten (NIV)

Hello, and welcome back to my illuminated manuscript of the NIV Bible, Book of Genesis. As discussed in earlier posts, this is a project that I made for myself to experiment with illuminated manuscript whilst making my way through the Bible, a traditional manuscript for illumination. I try to bring some creativity and fun into the lettering and illustrations. It's all done in a hardbound sketchbook, colored with magic marker, gel pens and colored pencil, so it's a fun little practice project. 

Now that I'm using a more stable pen for lettering, the text should be more legible. Sorry about the purple ink bleedthrough from the "10" heading. At least it was just the zero and not the whole thing --small blessings. 

On with the tale! 

Chapter Nine: 




Chapter Ten: 




As always, you can click the first picture to enlarge it and then scroll through the pages from there. 

Here is the first post, if you'd like to start at the beginning (everything else links forward from there). 

Here is the previous post (everything links backward, too. Hooray for completism!)
