Description:

Lamentations 3:19-41

This drawing is made up of 1 inch squares, 20 squares tall and 15 squares wide. The squares themselves are made up of text (the above verse) written and layered to create the values of the picture. I drew this using a mechanical pencil, as well as 9B and 2B woodless graphite.
As a reference, I used the photograph Township Worker by *95101
(who kindly gave me permission to put up this deviation), and I highly encourage you to go and have a look. His photography really captures so much emotion. I feel like I was only able to translate a fraction of that in my drawing.

In a way, the expression and weathered look of the man in the photo reminded me of the prophet Jeremiah, who wrote the book of Lamentations. Jeremiah had been through many troubles and hardships, and yet he still found hope in the midst of his circumstances.

Nope, it's a drawing. It's on 18x24 paper with about an inch border of white around the drawing. I have a scale shot at the original deviation here: [link]
