Obviously, Ms. V. Wichers has tremendous talent. Her subtle use of fluid lines and strokes in her drawings give an ethereal and beautiful quality to her drawings!

You've got some awesome concepts for characters, and as Anon. mentioned, some very fine linework. Not to mention that yeh got some pretty crazy skills with a pencil. Berloody amazing shading.

You have a great stile, and you defiantly have it in you .you can do it!!! About realism I don't do mach because... weal I don't know way!?
any way to do realism you must sit tack some realistic pictures and just cope the at the beginning it mite be hared and wont come out but her this: DON'T GIVE UP YOU HERE MY DON'T
you can find books about realism on the internet and it book stores that is all I can say
Good lice

Hi! Such a lovely gallery! ) I especially like "Fairy Tree" - good imagination!

You mentioned the realism thing - I think I can actually help! Or at least, I can point you in the direction of a website that can. www.portraitartist.org is a fantastic site created by a published artist - he specialises in realism and details techniques and proportions of the human figure, which is really inspiring. I started off by just copying down some of his pictures for practice and now I can get a sort-of decent person drawn pretty much straight off - and it makes creating pictures from photo references a lot easier too. I guarantee if you take a look, it'll help a lot! I visit back often for inspiration and just to brush up on things.

Also, I recommend trying out indian ink on thick paper - I think you have the right kind of style to pull off some fantastic pictures with pen and ink )

Good luck! Not that you'll need it ) and keep going at it,

Hey, you're pictures are awesome keep up the good work my dear!

You have come a long way with your art. but it still needs work. But that's funny, i always pegged you as a musician.

Oboe perhaps?

I was just writing to say "hey", but you are quite the artist. Your drawings come across like you're holding something back. I realize that comment couldn't be any more ambiguous but its true. (Harsh criticism aside) I especially loved the "Banana Split" piece.
