The second book of Psalms

Another book of the Psalms serie which I done as my bachelor thesis.
 
In this part I felt more then in the others the style of rules and guidance. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything emotional in the text. In my illustrations I wanted to combine those two different things. For this I chose a style of drawing that is rather strict and nearly geometrical and which evokes rules. I used hatching with which I created small areas filled with lines. Because I wanted to keep the emotional part of the text I used symbols as a motives, which communicate with the strict style of drawing very well and often allow express emotions better than the exact drawing. For realization of my illustrations I chose a technique of etching, because it allowed me to make clear and cool lines, which I needed for that strict style of drawing.
I bounded books using traditional Japanese flutter book bind.
 
There is an overview of 24 illustrations. I hope you enjoy it :)
