Sketch Vs Final Art

Waterfall from Heaven

This piece is a side-by-side exploration of two creative processes: the raw, textured lines of e-ink sketching and the vibrant, layered depth of digital art. Both approaches bring unique energy to the same vision—a cascading waterfall that feels like a gift from above.

The e-ink sketch captures the foundation, an intentional and meditative process where every stroke builds the structure. On the other hand, the digital version transforms that foundation into a vivid, dreamlike scene, full of warmth and life. Together, they reflect the journey from concept to completion, from simplicity to fullness.

This artwork is deeply personal to me. I wake up every day striving to be thankful for the blessings God has poured into my life—like a never-ending stream of water from heaven. It reminds me of Jesus, the water of everlasting life, who gave everything for us. His sacrifice inspires my creativity and my gratitude.

Let me know which side resonates with you more—the raw beginnings or the polished finish?
