Mary & Martha

I thought I'd start with my most recent illustration. I've been on a bit of kick doing children's Biblical illustrations - this one is of Mary and Martha.

This a little different technique than I normally do. I scanned my original sketch, used digital images for the background, then scanned in a pastel coloring of my sketch to use for the characters (mainly because Photoshop wouldn't let me blend like I wanted to, and Painter wasn't handling my large image fast enough).

Here's some in progress photos:

the finished result:
". . . but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." ~Luke 10:41
