Bible Reference & Cartoon Description

DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Indeterminate from scripture, I have set the scene at late morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Natural, sunlight, from above left.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Joseph (in chains) with two of his brothers, Simeon & Levi.
Ishmaelites on camels in the background.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
There are three versions of this scene:
01) (This page) Genesis 37 – Joseph sold into slavery – Scene 04 – Joseph Sold.
02) (Next page) Genesis 37 – Joseph sold into slavery – Scene 04 – Joseph Sold (no skull). The only difference between these two versions is the inclusion of a human skull in the first one. I thought I’d remove it for viewers/customers wanting to use this scene for children’s work.
03) (Next page) Genesis 37 – Joseph sold into slavery – Scene 04 – Joseph sold to Ishmaelites. This scene is set in Dothan (an area of good pastureland) rather than a sandy desert (like the previous 2 versions).
This scene was originally designed as one of my “Bad Day” mugs, but I thought it could also be used as a Bible Cartoon.
The colours used in each of the brother’s clothes was previously decided upon when I drew the scene “Genesis 37 – Joseph’s Dreams – Scene 02 – The coat of many colours”
