Description Psalm 30: 11-12
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.

Psalm 89: 1
1 I will sing of the Lord's love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known
through all generations.

Harmony can be created between God and anyone.

Most importantly, this is picture was created to show my appreciation of God's unconditional love and awesome power, but was drawn under the request of .

ikartiko and I had done a few collabs together, and every time it seemed like he did most of the work; my side of the piece looked small and flimsy while his side looked like a lot of time and effort was put into it.
I wanted to draw something for him to show my...gratitude, I suppose, for putting up with such an amateur.

I asked him what he wanted me to draw, and he suggested that I used some of this favorite bible verses to follow and build off of.
"This way you'll be sharing the good new to all and above all, honouring the Lord!"

...I guess I got carried away...
ikartiko, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for taking so long! You probably totally forgot all about this!
SORRY!!
I'm not sure if you like this sort of thing...Hope ya like it...At least somewhat...

GOD BLESS!!!

Thank you. That means a lot
With practice, it comes. Of course, this sort of happened on accident. I'm not talented enough, and this isn't the best thing in the world... But God can do that to us; do things that can seem completely out of the ordinary.

Wait.. there is a sad eye at the top of the lady...
Who is he/she? I get to see new things everytime I stare at it ^_^

Oh...haha yeah you mean in the red part really close to the top of her head?...it's just there...
Sorry no dramatic story behind there, althought I wish there was
It's kinda interesting that it ended up looking like an eye because I think that was actually a small piece off of my sheet music pasted on.

To be honest, I forgot about it T_T, I do apologise...
Work in PhD has been so busy, I have tons of sketches to be finalised too, but no time to do them yet... I seldom check into DA nowadays... until now... Don't need to apologise, I know that good food takes time to prepare ^_^

Now back to your drawing... WOW
Wow!, so complex~!I have to read the verses to understand the meaning of the drawing. Did you water colour it? Layer by layer or all in one go? I've never seen as such like this~! First ever in my gallery~! I like it because you did it ^_^ Thank you my friend ^_^

About our collab, its not true to say that I did all the hard-work, you provided with the sketch as well as cleaning them up. That's a lot of work~! It's been pleasant working with you.

In truth, only He alone is able to turn my mourning (failures, sins, etc) into dancing (finding comfort in God alone for forgiveness of sins), and He clothed me with Joy (that is in Christ alone) and that my heart will not be silent but giving thanks, glory, honour, etc, unto Him and Him alone.

Faved~! Now, I'm still curious.... how did you do it???

God Bless~~!!

Haha yeah it's been so long I guess it isn't that suprising that you forgot about it...
Thanks for the kind words!! Thank you so much!!
Like you said I used watercolor; not too many layers though. As for the music notes and such, I found some old sheet music that I had and ripped them to stips and pasted them onto the paper...That was done before the painting, obviously.
The designs were done with brushpens...yep...I think that's it.
