Bible Reference & Cartoon Description
Acts 27:30-32 (ANIV)
30 In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. 31 Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall away.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in the Bible narrative. It could be day or night, as the sun is obscured by the storm clouds, so I have set this scene in the day time.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The hurricane is blotting out the sun, so only vague sunshine is illuminating this scene. The lightning also adds some light.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Various sailors on the ship. Three Roman soldiers.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
In this scene we can see three Roman soldiers (in scarlet cloaks) cutting the lifeboat loose, which is breaking apart in the fierce storm waves. We are viewing the scene from in front of the main mast, looking back towards the rear (stern) of the ship. We can see the sailors on deck, who are looking frightened, angry, confused, indignant, etc.
Here is the scene without the figures in the foreground.

Here is the original pencil sketch I drew for this scene.
Acts 27 – Paul shipwrecked – Scene 02 – Lifeboat cut loose – greyscale
As you can see from the pencil sketch above I originally designed this scene looking at the side of the ship, with the hurricane-blown waves crashing against it. However, I realised that I had already drawn several similar scenes previously showing the ship from the side. Therefore I thought that a picture as seen from the water-soaked deck of the ship, with the Roman soldiers casting the lifeboat into the sea, and the horrified sailor’s expressions might be more interesting.
