Was the paint added later? And is the artist also the scribe?

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Until now I was convinced that imagery was created before and independently of the text.

I am happy with the theory that the same Scribe created images and text, one page at a time  -- first drawing the plant or diagram, then writing the text in the space left around it.  

However, he must have worked from a draft provided by the Author, which must have included a sketch of the figure and/or a separate source document where the figure, or part thereof, should be copied from.
