[Kapil]

oh man, you are like a contemporary master. I know every comment in here is the same but i'll say it anyway. You're work is so beautiful. I can only hope to have a fraction of your talent by the time i graduate from artschool. Keep posting, i look forward to your studies.

[Kapil]

hey, i should have asked this in the last post but i had a few questions for you.

1. What size paper are most of these (all of them)?

2. What kind of charcoal, more specifically, soft or hard? Multiple?

3. How long have you been drawing?

Once again, you work is so inspiring, i actually tried more of your style today in class, with no avail.

Really nice. I especially like the sense of solidity / 3D form.

gist ,excellent work, i still think that by working on white paper you loose the chance to separate your lights and darks in a more design and clear manner,I also think that the shadow side should feel more like smoke with softer transitions so ,you can clearly define the forms...heres' a masterful example of what i mean, by Giulio Romano

[surus]

Awesome! Thanks for posting updates! Keep on posting!

This model looks EXACTLY like Emily Meade:





These photos don't even do justice to the resemblance... Just watch the last episode of Boardwalk Empire.

[Marian Rowling]

Hi Erik just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that you have found the time to post all these drawings. I haven't been drawing for long so your breakdown drawings showing the simple forms are a big help to me; and your longer drawings and paintings are truly inspiring. Many thanks.

[msgeil]

I absolutely love your hatching. I've always been drawn to that style, and the two full leg studies are just inspiring.

[Raffix]

stellar stuff man - phenomenal control of your medium. do you ever put highlights in with chalk or white conte, or is it only ever just rubbing out to reveal the white paper?

[mattlinz]

I've been following your thread for some time, and just love all of the work you post! Thanks for sharing all of this great work!

[dessinateurimpulsif]

You killed me....

[HunterKiller_]

Really dig those crisp edges on the anatomy studies, look like ink washes.

[Mawh]

My mind and eyes were blown to pieces. I can't see anymore. I'll draw eyes closed from now, my hand led by this unspeakable force surrounding all things. Thank you for giving me inspiration.

[Angroc]

Those arm studies in the end there are SEXY!! Kudos to the max.

[Livoshka]

Absolutely stunning work! Keep them coming
