wow you do amassing drawings Helle :o)

Wawwwwwwwww Helle. You are a true master . Fantastic work. It looks like the vases I bought i Greese many years ago. Well....If you mist the snow I think it will come to you in a few minutes. We just had it, and the wind blows in your direction))) back to vase. I give you 50 point off the book LOL)))))))))))))))

Great drawing

Beautiful sketch, love the detail on the vase, lighting is excellent...am just curious, did you learn to draw on your own or did you take art classes? whichever, you do it beautifully!

Hello Shahlaa. Thanks for you nice comments :) No not really, I have never been in a school for art. Though once 25 years ago I went for a evening course 2 hours a week one winter season. Just for fun. LOL. I just allways have liked to draw and paint. :)

Compliments Helle good job, nice perspective work right light - shadows - cool background and good floor perspective LOL Keep coming with this stuff real refreshing

What a fantastic work, looks most beautiful. Wonderful design and details. Superb!!

exceptional. :-)

So beautiful and very nice composition !! :)

Excellent work! You definately captured the curvature! Bravo!

Really excellent, and I add that this simple background, which however has a good perspective, precisely because it is somewhat more crude than the vase, adds to the depth effect. You say that you did not follow serious art courses, this is even better (I was obliged to follow much to become a pro, and in no respects what I do is better), so you are very well gifted Helle! True that there are a lot of small mistakes (in the ellipse of the opening of the vase, in the curved perspective of the decoration), but really it is not a problem. There are much more mistakes in the works of Matisse and what one could say of Picasso, and everybody says "Wow it is art! Art is NOT like a photo you ignorant guy!" In my country there are hundreds of press illustrators that are renowned and draw in a very bad manner, nothing in common with you, and everybody says that they are genius. Let us think to Canne too. This is really enchanting that you share with us that marvelous kind of artwork, which is not so common at Renderosity!

OH! But I thank you so very much indeed, Elcet, for all your (in my eyes so wonderful words. I am very flattered and honored, because when the words come from a fantastic and pro artist as your self, I must believe, that I am not that bad a drawer. You made my day. Thats for sure. :))) Thank you so much. I thank you all for your wonderful feedback. It means so much to me. Actually I thought about uploading the vase once more, because I think I have made the background a little better. I was not quite satisfied with it. :) Have a lovely day.

Hello Helle or should I say Helle Hello ;) (only one letter difference;) Guess I will upload new images in April when I have more time, actually I am working on something and I need that to keep in balance, as you know I am still on the book illustration and I have to draw funny little heros and heroines LOL, quite funny but nobody is ever funny, really a challenge to draw and draw funny things. Now to you vase, I can see that you have enough feedback about the little errors so I will tell you something different. When I look at something beautiful it is often the case that it has ... little errors and while searching for a reason I always have to realize that exactly these little errors are the reason for their lovely appearance. So you see, the 'errors' arent errors at all, it has something to do with a personal note;) A very most wonderful vase, really! Or with a bit humor an original Helanker LOLOL ;) Happy days Helle ;)

Hello Martingeorg :) Thank your so much for your so kind feedback. You really know how to cheer up and I very glad that you like my vase. Honestly I do like it my selv too. GGG I am so looking forward to se your new drawings in April. YAY it will be a joy. :))) Happy days to you too. :D

Wow, this is very beautiful, I love the black reflections ;o))))))))))))

Excellent drawing :) You seem to have an excellent sense of design.

wonderfully done...:).

Fine work.

.:great sketch - no more work needed. looks good as is:.

Excellent work! Ciao .. :)

Wow, I wish I'd noticed this one a long time ago, it's a superb drawaing. I studied history in college, and took as much archeology classes as I could fit in. This is a wonderful drawing that reminds me so much of the Greek vases we saw in so many archology findings. Nicely done!

i already commented on this one helle loooooong time ago :) but no, i cannot see what type of pencil u used, but doesnt matter, it is a most wonderful vase, love it :)

somehow i missed this one, shame on me - i love it -fav!!!!

lol, koosie was only a 21 months late! Well, I'm 33 months years late! I love the comments, martin & elcet left great comments, and they both make the point that 'imperfections' are what give us the artist's vision, their touch & personal feeling. You know how, with pottery, you look for the pieces that have the human touch, rather than the factory-made touch? It's the same with drawing. Yet really, this is a very detailed & accurate drawing. I don't know the original vase, but your work shows fidelity to the object. Of all the drawings I've seen of yours today, this is obviously the most detailed because of the design. And how you got such contrasts in dark darks & white surface (and several shades in between) is amazing to me, esp as you used mechanical pencil & one hardness. Your highlights along the rim are simple & eloquent, and your background is just enough to set the vase off. Really Helle, you do beautiful pencil work, and after seeing these drawings, I'll look at your pencil work with even more eagerness than before. You're wonderful at this--charming & gentle, and intense & detailed. A real gem in your gallery.

I love it Helle, You have talent and patience. Its fun huh, to work like this. A very creative one!

Wonderful sketch! Great!

I absolutely like it and I am sure you are inspired by what the Greeks created on pottery.

Interesting work

Very very well done !!!
