10 Beautiful Sketches Straight from Book of Mormon Scripture Study

Becca Shipley is is an LDS artist. Recently, she shared with us a cool project she is doing! She began reading the Book of Mormon cover to cover again and decided to be drawing sketches and scenes from what she reads this time around. Take a look at what she’s done so far. Want to see more? Follow her at @beccashalome on Instagram!

 

Starting a new project today! just finished the #BookofMormon last night and started again this morning! This time I will be keeping a nice new sketch book with my copy of the BoM and will be drawing as I go through! I hope to increase my ability to understand and remember the things I read by trying harder to visualize all the people and such. And hopefully I will improve in the area of #characterdesign as well 🙂 So with that said, here's the first of many, 1 Nephi 1: Nephi sketches

Lehi teaches his family the things of the gospel. In 1 Nephi 10, he tells of the Savior, that in the years to come "…a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews – even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world." (1 Nephi 10:4). #BookofMormon #BoMsketchbook #nephi #lehi #lds #imamormon #art #illustration #ink #color #doodle #design #artofinstagram #artistsofinstagram #quickdoodle #sketch #sketchbook @mormonorg @mormonchannel @ldschurch
