Holy crap, you're incredible! Your work really reminds me of the classical styles of the Renaissance and Mannerism. Out of curiosity, why did you choose to mimic the renaissance style so closely? You really could have fooled me into believing this stuff was from the renaissance. Most modern artists I see retain the basic elements of the old masters but in a fairly modern looking style (ala Vilppu, Mentler, etc.). Who was your teacher?

I am very impressed with your gallery - reminds me of work by Natasha Mokina, whom I have studied under. Perhaps, characteristic of the Russian academic training?

Hi, I absolutely love your work, I think you have hmm, how do you say it in english... a fabulous expression in your pencil stroke?? (haha I have no idea) well it is very classical, as others probably have told you, and just beautiful, it's very rare to find someone that draws like you this days... It just seems so easy and clean
I am not an arts student but I love to draw and paint, I was particularly attracted to the paper you used on your anatomy study/portrait of an old man sepia drawings, i do not know the name of this paper, so if you could tell me, I would really aprecciate it! (sorry for my bad english)
regards
