My Journey Through the Graphite World - Genesis Chapter 14
What could be easier than taking a pencil in hand and drawing something on a piece of paper?
For some this is true but for others, or in some special situation this can be a very difficult task especially since the case requires me to be extremely precise in expressing the situation I want to depict.
As a rule I encounter something similar when I want to depict an illustration for chapters of the Bible.
But these difficulties do not always arise some biblical stories are somewhat understandable and some of them require a lot of thought.
Moreover some chapters of the Bible can be illustrated with one drawing and for some of them for example chapter 14 of the book of Genesis two illustrations will be required.
I did just that I divided chapter 14 into two parts the first of them tells us about a terrible battle when nine kings and kingdoms participated in a battle four against five.
And the second part which you will not see in my drawing today tells how Abraham learned about Lot’s captivity and went to his rescue.
Before I started working on the first part of illustrating the fourteenth chapter of the book of Genesis I drew battle scenes in a school notebook with a ballpoint pen during boring lessons but it was not a serious occupation and the drawings were more than a mockery of what can be called a drawing.
As I said in my previous posts I do not like to draw people and horses I do not like to draw but here both people and horses had to meet in one battle.
All characters are fictitious and every movement is just a figment of the imagination without very solid skills in drawing these objects but if you do not start drawing what you do not like to draw then you will not learn to do it, therefore I decided to take a risk realizing that a lot of criticism will fall on me but I look at it completely calmly.
You can read the Bible a hundred times and each time something new will be revealed perhaps one day I will see this scene differently and what I call an illustration today will become a "sketches". I hope so.
While working on the drawing I had many difficult moments when I mercilessly worked with a rubber eraser destroying everything that had already appeared on the paper but war is a merciless occupation.
For the most part it was important for me to find a connection between what I read in the fourteenth chapter of Genesis with what I draw like a power line that connects an energy facility with the end consumer of electricity.
A lot of time has passed since January 20023 when I put my pencils on what I thought was a ready drawing at that time, but for now I am not ready for further work on the drawing or for the cardinal changes that I could make to it.
For now this illustration is lying in a folder next to many other drawings and waiting for its time.
You can see my previous drawings by following the links below.

Hmmm... do you know how much staked beer you need to be able to use the command !BEER?
I thought it was 24...but it doesn't seem to work for me...
That's right, 24, but you can give the next command no earlier than a day after the previous command. Sometimes the bot does not give a message about delivery but in general it is reliable :) !BEER
