Description
Monolithic updatePencil on Illustration Board
Full drawing 30” x 40” this image 7” x 7”
This is the Second element in this drawing, the sky and bulb being the first.
This is a drawing of my step-fathers eye. An eye that’s seventy-eight years old, an eye akin to hammered gold. An eye that’s experienced prisoner of war camps and the death of many comrades. It’s been witness to beating cancer once and now in the dusk of his years to lung cancer. This symbol speaks of strength and vulnerability; it alludes to the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
(On December 5, 2005 my dear step-dad died in my arms, I will miss him so very much, Gods Speed to you Dad, and all my love always). Armin Mersmann
Thanks for looking

Hi, I have a question. I aspire to get to this level of detail in my drawings. I can't figure out how you draw the hairs in the eyebrow and eyelashes that are white. Do you erase that section afterwards? If so, how do you get it so white? This looks like a photograph.

This is a really great but sad one, especially because of your Dad , my deepest condolences.
It´s an old eye, how you just told, and i think it looks kind of tired, i really like it, although it´s a bit out of turn to say that, I´m sorry.
I also love it how real your pieces look, i tried so many times to do stuff like this but I´m not even courageous enough to upload these things,....they look really terrible, so it´s a real pleasure to look through your gallery!
Keep up your splendid work.
Best wishes
