This is a drawing by an artist named Armin Mersmann. It was first titled Jessica but was renamed The Waking Edge. I love this drawing and all of his others because I’m blown away with how well he can recreate texture and detail with just a pencil and nothing else. This picture, for example, is just graphite on illustration board. Personally, having used graphite pencils for about 5 years, I find it extremely impressive that he can make such fine detail the way he does in all of his work. I chose to examine this work because of its definitive qualities with the level of contrast over the whole picture and also shadowing in the bottom left corner. Furthermore I thought this was a prime example of how to create texture and detail with just different types of pencil strokes and line qualities. Specific examples of this that I notice as a reoccurring quality in all of his work is the extreme detail with each and every strand of hair and every single thread of fabric in the girl’s sweater.
