This month, we’re looking at verses related to strength and courage. I was lucky enough to have created the initial ideas on the seventeenth deck of a cruise ship in force 10 gales and 6 metre swell. It wasn’t pleasant, and gave an insight into having strength and courage! Of course, that pales into insignificance compared to the sort of strength and courage we are provided with by our trust in God. Here are five new illustrations for your Bible journaling. Don’t forget there is a free downloadable PDF link at the bottom of the post for you to print and include in your Bible.
Making notes
In my increasingly normal fashion, I have used Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils for the main colouring. Colour palettes have been selected using the Color Cubes from Sarah Renae Clark – they’re really helpful to break out of my normal go-to combinations. There’s a bit of gilding in there. Outlines are drawn with black pigment pens/fineliners.
Images are from public domain sources or created with the assistance of ChatGPT. I tend to do this to tailor the illustration to what I want to depict, and my drawing skills don’t always match my ambition!
