Fantastic work Van…:)

Wow! FABulous pencil work!!!!!! Anyone who can do portraits has my respect :-)

Incredible, you are just so unbelievably talented Van. I was showing my (non arty) husband some of your work the other day and he found it hard to grasp that they were paintings and not photographs! As ever, I’m in awe!

you really did an amazing job, wow, but then it’s easy when you have those kind of looks to work with hehehehe…fascinating style you’ve achieved in the portrait, so eye-catching

fab work :)

Very nice Van!!! A handsome man you are!

This is a fabulous pencil sketch!!! I fancy myself a bit of a sketch artist but you have surely outdone me!!! WOW! Your command of light and shadow here is excellent. This almost looks like you could walk right out of this sketch. What a tremendoud talent you possess.

Wow, I came across this picture and had to take a double look as it was so life like! This has to be my favourite drawing! You have so much talent!

I could not believe this portrait was done with pencil and charcoal. It is so very well executed. It must have taken a long time ! You cannot make mistake with the medium !

Thank you so much Beatrice!! Your right and love your masterful works!!

I love charcoal sketching. It is my very first love in art. This is so beautiful and awesome. The perfection of each line and the contrast of shades and shadowing are to be sought after. This encourages me to take more time and add more detail to what I do. Thanks for inspiring me to do better.
