Kees van Kooten

When I create caricatures for magazines, often I hand in my work, get paid and that's that. Sometimes, the depicted personality contacts me to tell me what they think about my drawing. In this case, Kees van Kooten published his thoughts on my drawing in 'Hollands Diep' magazine.
For all of you who do not speak dutch; let's say he has a very kind way of saying he likes the drawing.
Thank you very much, Kees!

He allowed me to share some of his advice on the use of graphite powder on my tutorial blog LINK. This drawing is the result of some playtime with pencil and graphite powder.
