Sketch-a-Day -- Sinful woman
For this sketchvember entry, enjoy the first in the series of illustrations for church based on the story of Jesus and the Sinful Woman:
A Pharisee named Simon invited Jesus to a meal. In those days it was considered an achievement to entertain an itinerant teacher with a meal after the Sabbath. It seems that Simon saw Jesus as such an itinerant teacher. In response to Simon's request Jesus became his guest and arrived at his place for the meal. Then, abruptly, a woman known to the town as a sinful lady had entered in while crying at the same time. Then, she approached Jesus from behind to the place of his feet and she wet his feet with her tears, then she wiped them with her hair, and then she kissed his feet and began to anoint them with oil.

I went through three different sketches for this before I settled on this one. My deadline is at the end of the week for 5-10 illustrations. That's a tough production schedule, but I'm going to do my best. Bo's on vacation this week and he's a little upset that I'll be working through it, but I don't get many opportunities to do art for church messages this way and it's my favorite way of serving the church.
I also got a surprise commission from Naka-kon this morning. I'm really excited about it. November's going to be a busy art month for me after all!
