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

this is gorgeous!!! I'm stunned by the level of quality you achieved! I love this~
I'm studying arts, and we're about to work on hyperrealism, I wonder if you may clarify me~
-those skin pore textures under the eyes, how did you get them?
-and the shine and whites in the lashes, did you use a white medium or just erased them later?
thanks a lot, this work is admirable~

Thank you…
I draw in a circular fashion this let me draw “around” area leaving small undrawn circles that appear as pores, the hair is left white at which point I darken area of the hair itself to give it form, I don’t erase nor use any white pigment, not that I have anything against this it’s just doesn’t work for me, it’s more believable this way.

I can't believe that somewhere in your table there is a sheet of paper and on it this eye... Thinking about it is like thinking about another dimensions and worlds... In your table there is an exact copy of eye!..

sorry to hear about it, but still can't believe you did this i mean, i do but MAN its incredibile and love why you chose this, i never ready before why you chose an eye but now i see the meaning and i like it that much more sir

How long have you been drawing for in your life? I'm wanting to know because if you look at any of my realistic ones they're crappy. But this eye is very majestic and beautifully done. I hope that I get this good in my lifetime.
