Well, according to Ezekiel 1 they might look something like this…
According to Daniel 10 something like this…
According to Isaiah 6…
In Ezekiel 10…
Again in Ezekiel 10…
Basically, when the people writing Scripture tried to describe what they saw when they saw an angel… they run into the end of their imagination… they can never quite seem to fully explain it because they had trouble even comprehending what they saw, let alone being able to describe it to someone else.
Yeah, that’s usually how people responded to seeing them in the Bible…
There’s a good reason why angels’ standard greeting is ‘Do not be afraid’.
These are actually the most coherent illustrations of Biblical angels I’ve yet seen.
My mother was really sad when I sold my drawing of Saint George, so she made me promise to do a similar one of Joan of Arc for her. Several years later……..
As mentioned on the Saint George post, the fact that it’s hard to see is intentional. However if all you can see is a completely solid black rectangle with a halo in it, you may have to adjust your monitor to see it correctly!
Materials used: Watercolor, gouache, charcoal, pastel and acrylic paint on hot press illustration board (because I like pain) (but I didn’t have any cold press okay)
