In Mark's Gospel, the focus was on Jesus, with very little reason to portray God. However, Mark did portray God in the passages on the baptism of Jesus and the transfiguration. In Mark 1:11, there came a voice out of heaven, saying Thou art my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. In Mark 9:7, a cloud overshadowed the disciples and a voice came out of the cloud. So, when Mark had to portray God, it was as a voice out of heaven or out of a cloud.

Why does Mark portray Jesus as fully human?

A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, dated to approximately 70 CE. If Mark portrays Jesus as fully human, which it certainly does, then this was probably the orthodoxy of his time. Later gospels, Matthew and Luke, portray him as the son of God from his conception, and eventually John portrays him as divine and pre-existing.
