Colored pencils are ideal for the intricate details of the figures, weapons, and hair textures, allowing for precise shading and layering. Fine-tip markers can be used for crisp outlines and small patterns on the wrapped cloth. For larger areas like the desert and mountains, soft pastels or watercolor pencils can create smooth gradients and atmospheric effects.
Start with the largest areas like the desert and mountains using light, even strokes. Focus on one figure at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Use a limited palette of 3-4 earthy tones for the wrapped cloth to maintain harmony. Practice outlining figures before filling them in.
Create depth in the desert dunes using layered shading with multiple sand tones, adding subtle shadows. Use cross-hatching or stippling to emphasize the texture of the Afros and kinky hair. Apply fine detailing to the swords and bows for a metallic sheen. Experiment with atmospheric perspective for the distant mountains.

An angry old Laban, with a prominent Afro, stands in flowing wrapped cloth, one arm extended. Behind him, an army of men, similarly dressed, hold swords and bows with arrows. Jacob stands resolutely, his Afro distinct, clad in wrapped cloth, protectively shielding his wives, who have long, kinky hair and draped wrapped cloth dresses. Their many children, with Afros and long kinky hair, are gathered near their mothers, also in wrapped cloth. A herd of spotted cattle rests behind them. The background depicts a vast desert with undulating sand dunes and rugged mountains.
