Oh no poor lady they’re even in the basement – great drawing

wow, there is such detail here. it is very intricate in design and the concept is very cool too!

Marvelous, funny, spooky, detailed. This is truly wonderful. Well done.

This is magnificent, such wonderful & excitiong details, love this. Love your work

i like the imagery, very creative. i use this technique also, and i know how time consuming it can be. i find that i forget to go back and darken some of my work. i don’t know if it looks different in person, but maybe there are some areas that need to be darkened. after spending hours and hours of drawing, we as the artist look at the work and feel that it’s enough, but i find if i go back to my work weeks, even months later, that there are areas i need to darken to get everything to “pop” out. you have a lot of interesting detail and beautiful cross-hatching work.

Thanx for the compliments Vanessa! About the time… you’re absolutely right there. Drawing in inkt and using the technique’s you’ve mentioned takes a lot of time. Speaking of time, my next drawing probably takes even more hours of hatching…. sigh… hehe…

I will take a look at your work right away.

Great work. Very intricate

Fantastic work!!

Interesting and fantastic work

amazing!

I can imagine the woman expects to find warmth and peace when she opens that door…
this can tell many stories.. much to see and great details, fantastic work.

Thanx for the deer words Liesbeth! Conceptually seen you might be right; she might expect something else then future brings… But then again, it stays future… Maybe she instinctly feels
there’s something wrong before it’s too late…

Because of the fun working with inkt, I hope to make an even more detailled inkt drawing soon
although I first have to finish some other works… ‘some’ stands for a huge pile of unfinished ideas and drawings hehe…

Again, the detail is extraordinary. You must be very patient.

Your work is so compelling I can sit and look at it for ages. Your style is so illustrative what a great mind you must have! Look forward to seeing more…Kath :)

I like it that the image of home is represented in here in shapes of glass for alcohol, and the cracks on it make the image even more tragic. Not just a slaughter and abuse, but also the evidence of weakness of so called image of social decency, which is actually transparent, revealing what is hidden behind it. And a very nice detail – a portrait of an ancestor, turning his head away from what is happening in the house. However the entire image doesnt arouse any compassion towards the woman with a pig’s face coming back home with food, she apparently got used to what is happening inside and doesnt intend to change anything.

Freaky. I really enjoy looking at the detail, and being able to see what lies beneath….

Thanx for the compliments Cassey! For a bigger version (full scan) with more details you can see: http://www.bruinevloot.nl/sebastiaankoenen

Brilliant!

creepy and dark… so much to see in this piece… i think i’d stay out all night every night if coming home’s anything even close to this… :P
great drawing, sebastiaan… : )

Thanx! Staying outside sometimes is the better option Mimi. When I could look through my window that has curtains before it right now and could be attracted by the gloomy neighborhood I maybe would leave the presure of my walls also..

Well this drawing must have kept you busy for a while..lol… there is a lot to see in this piece and very dark …you have a great imagination!

Awesome.

nice one !!

Breathtaking and amazing! The detail is incredible!

I must say that I am really in aw of you work, you have an amazing eye for detail. The best thing about art is it doesn’t take much to be inspired. love the dark art you have done with this one.

Just can’t get over all THE DETAIL here…............WOW! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

fabulous drawing!
For acceptance into Works on Paper, pls add your paper details.

THE DETAIL, amazing WORK

What fabulous…time consuming,intricate work Sabastian….patience of a saint!

Ah Sebastiaan this is so good, and you work so hard. I had to Feature it. It’s magnificent

Friend Sebastiaan you did actually submit this to Works on Paper on the 1st of June, so either your memory is going ( which it shouldn’t be at your age ) or you take the same drugs as me. A bit of trivia – Did you know that St Sebastian didn’t die from his arrow wounds but was nursed back to health, but died sometime later by being beaten to death?

Incredilble xx

Sebastiaan, this is just stunning work – inspiring!!!

Oh wow – the rendering on this piece is epic!

you are just too bloody amazing!

Great piece, I can relate to the ‘inspired by what’.... back in my darker days I made some very wierd pottery pieces, that teenage kids, ask me what was a thinking. Great style!

sensational!! so powerful. Reminds of renaissance art. Very cool.

wow, great work Sebastiaan – I love all the detail!

great works
