Description
Monolithic updatePencil on Illustration Board
Full drawing 30” x 40” this image 7” x 7”
This is the fourth element in this drawing, The seconded being my step fathers eye and the sky and bulb being the first.
This is drawing of my father’s eye, artist, creator, destroyer, blue collar philosopher an eye of a romantic living a charmed life. Coming upon eighty years of age, has he attained the dreams, reached goals set so long ago? Or avoided success. This symbol speaks of grand accomplishments and painful losses, but where hope never diminishes.
(on the morning of 9/10/11 at 7:40 my father Fritz Mersmann passed away quietly and peacefully. He was my hero in so many ways, my greatest teacher in art, my inspiration in life. He was truly a beautiful soul……………Gods Speed Papa, I love you.)
Thanks for looking

do you make up the wrinkles and creases around the eyes or copy them exactly as they are? its fantabulous, and still a WIP?

Actually a little of both, because this is a specific person and I what the likeness I am quite careful in getting the nuances as close as possible but I do exaggerate a little on the depth and shading for dramatic affect.

You are one of the pencil gods here...
One curiosity:
how did you achieve to draw the lighter colored hair?
Eraser?
Razor blade?
Black magic?
