help help help......i need help with a relief carving i want to start but i can't draw or sketch worth a tinkers hoot......my fil is a retired lutheran pastor and i want to make this for him for easter......what i need is a drawing that i can copy and/or trace ......a picture of an angel sitting on the rolled away stone in front of the tomb of Jesus.......the tomb is of course empty.....and I've got a caption I want to put below the picture......I'm pretty sure I can do a fair job on the project, but I need the picture to start.....searched the web for something that resembles, but so far i've struck out....has anyone seen anything that will suffice .....or can anyone point me in the right direction ?........appreciate any help that any of you can give.......

thanks

Also Googled on "angel" "tomb" and "Jesus"

thanks a lot Bob.......I checked all of those out and will try in incorporate some of the images into a single picture ......I hadn't come across some of those sites in my previous searches, and found some things that should be useful............

thanks for the input hugh....I checked out some of those loomis books.....never heard of him, but that doesn't say much since I barely know what a pencil is for anyway........looks like some of his originals are going very high......will try to pick on something on the basics of drawing figures.......
