New artwork: Come unto Christ. This one started as a piece about Lorenzo Snow’s couplet “As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may be,” but after dozens of iterations trying to nail down the concept, I still felt unsettled about it. Then I came across Moroni 10:32 last week, and it immediately became clear to me that the title of this piece needed to change. Once that was in place, everything else came together quickly.
Blog: #releases
I’m slowly getting back into doing non-religious art, and What Do You Mean, “What Are You Doing?” is my first real entry there. It started out as a random doodle in pencil, which I scanned and then redrew in Procreate Pocket on my phone, which is also where I did the coloring and texturing.
With this piece, by the way, I found that a) working on an iPhone 11 really, really makes me miss the pressure sensitivity on my old iPhone 8, and b) I’m at the point where I’ve finally decided to start saving up for an Apple Pencil and iPad. I’ve hesitated to go down that path since it’s an expensive one (the iPad part, that is), but the benefits are now pretty clear to me.
