    I wish you included more modern style and not just traditional sketching. Powerful sketching is not only about realistic representation but using elements of design in strong way.

    Some of them look way too real! It must take some time getting the detail right!

    commissioned portrait is awesome, it’s quite amazing to see these art pieces, some are close to realism and give great illusion.
