Mount Tabor<\/a>, sketched to commemorate the transfiguration of Jesus<\/a>, that moment when Jesus is transformed on a mountaintop as he communes with Moses and Elijah, and Peter somehow loses a screw and decides it’s a great time to start building houses. As Reverend Karen of St. Stephens in-the-Field and St. John the Divine memorably said in today’s sermon, this was the moment that the disciples went from knowing Jesus only as a human teacher they admired to seeing him as touched with divinity. (And speaking as a religious person from a scientific perspective, this is a great example of why there always will be a gap between science and religion: even if the event actually happened exactly as described, we’re unlikely to ever prove so scientifically, since it is a one-time event that cannot be probed with replicable experiments; the events of the day, even if true, really do have to be taken purely on faith. This is, of course, assuming that tomorrow someone doesn’t invent a device for reviewing remote time).<\/p>\n Roughed on Strathmore, then rendered on tracing paper, based on the following shot taken in 2011:<\/p>\n I mean, look at that. That mountain is just begging for God do something amazing there<\/a>. And if God doesn’t want it, the Close Encounters<\/a> mothership and H.P. Lovecraft<\/a> are top of the waitlist.<\/p>\n It really is proving useful to ink my own rough sketches by hand, then to trace my own art. It is interesting to me though how I vertically exaggerated the mountain when I drew it, which probably explains why a few things kept not lining up the way that I wanted them to. Still …<\/p>\n Drawing every day.<\/p>\n -the Centaur<\/p>\n P.S. And yes, I accidentally drew the Ascension<\/a> rather than the Transfiguration, which I guess is fine, because the Mount of Olives<\/a> looks harder to draw. Check out that 2,000 year old tree though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mount Tabor, sketched to commemorate the transfiguration of Jesus, that moment when Jesus is transformed on a mountaintop as he communes with Moses and Elijah, and Peter somehow loses a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226,258,195,257,227],"tags":[15,260,12],"class_list":["post-4883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artworks","category-philosophy","category-religion","category-science","category-sketchworks","tag-artworks","tag-drawing-every-day","tag-this-guy-called-jesus","ratio-2-1","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4883"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4902,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883\/revisions\/4902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PikiWiki_Israel_12379_Wadi_masha-600x450.jpg\")
