as far as I remember I made the first portraits when I was about 15 or 16 years old (which is long ago). But since 2011 I am loving it more and more. I`m fascinated: it`s nothing else than more or less dark lines and areas on a white sheet of paper made by a pencil ( or of course colored areas made by colored pencils) but it looks like a face! So it`s just an illusion!
