#LAZARUS RESURRECTED FULL#
#LAZARUS RESURRECTED SERIES#

I have used the same foreground & background scenery in this picture that I drew in a previous one (e. I was keen to draw the rock wall & the tomb entrance rocks accurately. The photograph was taken in the 19th century & shows people around the tomb of Lazarus in Bethany. The tomb rocks & particularly the retaining wall behind the tomb is based on a black & white photograph I found on the internet. However, in the scene above (e.g John 11 – Lazarus resurrected – Scene 04 – Lazarus raised) I have drawn Mary & Martha in dark mourning clothes, rather than their previously established, lighter clothing colours.

John 12 – Jesus anointed at Bethany) I have used the same colours to maintain continuity in earlier scenes in this series (e.g. The colours of the skin, hair & clothes of Mary & Martha (Lazarus’ two sisters) were establish in Bible Cartoons I drew in March 2009 (e.g.

This version is lighter for customers to project on screen &/or to print. There are cast shadows to the right of the figures & base of the tomb wall.

By the time Jesus arrives in Bethany, Lazarus has been dead four.

#LAZARUS RESURRECTED FULL#

In this version I have removed the dark blue shadows, allowing full colour. So we see that the death and resurrection of Lazarus is a premeditated act of Jesus love. In which I have included dark blue shadows across the tomb wall & figures.Ġ3) (This page) John 11 – Lazarus resurrected – Scene 04 – Lazarus raised (Version 03). Version 02 & 03 are the “new” ones, drawn in 2016!Ġ2) (Previous page) John 11 – Lazarus resurrected – Scene 04 – Lazarus raised (Version 02). This scene is the “old” one, drawn in 2009. I have removed the rest of the characters present (some of the crowd of mourners) which I drew in previous scenes.Ġ1) (Previous page) John 11 – Lazarus resurrected – Scene 04 – Lazarus raised (Version 01). To the right of Mary & Martha is Mary Magdalene & Matthew/Levi. To the right of Jesus is Martha (standing) & her sister Mary (kneeling), both dressed in dark mourning clothing & looking astonished. A child, a young man and an adult were raised from the dead. He is commanding Lazarus to come out of the tomb. Only three of the miracles are about the raising of a dead person: the daughter of Jairus (Matthew 9:18, 23-26 Mark 5:21-43 Luke 8:40-56), the son of a widow (Luke 7:11-17) and Lazarus (John 11:38-46). Jesus the Christ is in the centre of the scene, in blue outer robe & with a white head scarf on. Nevertheless, some shadows fall on this side of the wall, with highlights on the top of the wall, & picking out a few of the wall stones. In this version the sunlight is weaker, & casts fewer deep, dark blue shadows into the scene. Lazarus is the prelude to what Jesus announced: I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those. I ask because Jesus raised others, like Lazarus, from the dead before his own death and resurrection. Cast shadows fall to the right & behind the figures.

Sunlight (above & behind the viewer) illuminates this scene. Not specified in the Bible verses above, I have set the scene in the late morning. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
