Over The Rocky Mountains

Here are a few images from Over The Rocky Mountains. It is a very interesting fact that Ballantyne illustrated all of these. Whenever I see his drawings, it inspires me to work on my own drawing skills. I think that drawing as a general skill is a very important thing to know. Learning how to draw can be useful in many ways. Some of the greatest mappers and explorers of all time had to know how to draw to accomplish their roles as they mapped out large territories of uncharted land. Most importantly, drawing is a reflection of the greatest Artist, the Creator of the universe, the Lord Jesus Christ.
