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

I keep looking closer and closer to the monitor to see if I can see some pencil lines, but I almost bumped my head into the monitor and still can't understand that this is a drawing. I can understand if people accuse you for not drawing these but instead use photomanips, as the picture is so accurate that it gives me goose bumps. It would be awesome to see some WIP-pictures on this one, just so that I can convince myself that it actually is a drawing and not a photo.

I've looked at this at least three times and I still can't believe that you drew this in pencil. And I'm really sorry about your step-father.

Wow, even after scrutinising this thing I can hardly tell that it's not a photo, so photo-realistic! You are clearly a master of detail and observation.
You should certainly take it as a compliment that so many people don't believe that it is a pencil drawing!
