Christmas is near

It was funny and, well, crucial to draw comics about Christ. But after all he was just like every other little boy. While drawing his halo I made a small research about it. The form of this circular glow around the head was changing with the lapse of time. First the halo was shown as a flat circle behind the head. When perspective came to be considered essential, painters changed the halo to a ring that appeared in perspective. I definitely like the first one - simple and much more decorative than just a ring floating above. I'm old fashioned, yep.
