Very fine portrait, your attention to details reminds me of MC Escher's work!

esther baltisberger 30 Aug 2009

wow this is phantastic thought it was a photo absolutely perfect great art Sten

Artist Reply: THANKS, Esther! It's always nice to hear that someone thought it was a photo. My "goal" is realism, but I have to develop myself to become more creative, like you are! I really enjoyed watching your portfolio!

Kirby 28 Aug 2009

It's difficult to tell which is the art and which is'nt, what other creations are you hiding? these here have a master quality, I bet the ones you dont like very much are also very good.

Artist Reply: Hi, Kirby! I have to disappoint you, these are all my "creations"..... I did some tutorial drawings at the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, but I did not post them because of their "tutorial" nature. I wasn't even a member of AW at that time. I have very little spare time because of my profession and I will probably do not any "art" the remainder of this year. THANKS!

Anonymous Guest 16 Aug 2009

Damn je wordt hier goed in. Vind de tekening weer erg mooi. Ga er mooi mee opscheppen op facebook. hihi. Kus

Artist Reply: Mag hoor! Ik vind deze trouwens iets minder geslaagd dan die tekening van jou. Dikke kussen, tot woensdag!

Robert Linders 12 Aug 2009

Beautiful portrait! I especially love the smooth shading. Do you use any specific materials to produce such shading? Btw thanks again for commenting on my portrait ;)

Artist Reply: THANKS, Robert! I do not use any specific materials for the shading. Everything is done by layering. Initially I only used B-pencils but after reading the book of David Vanderpool (member of AW) I now also use H-pencils (upto 4H). I am sure your portrait will turn out great!

Nira Dabush 12 Aug 2009

what a beautiful portrait Sten and wat a prachtige vrouw!

Artist Reply: Reuze bedankt, Nelly! Ondanks dat de referentie oud was en tamelijk klein, heb ik het toch gekozen omdat mijn moeder er zo mooi opstaat. Nogmaals bedankt!
