I have to say that I feel in love with Sergio Toppi's illustrations the first time I saw them. Not only is his rendering a delight but his composition and his use of white space is so inspiring.

One of the most underrated Italian artists of all time.

Thank you for the video. I discovered Sergio Toppi's illustrations/art a couple of years ago, the large and impressive volume of his work/art is staggering, what an amazing talent he was. I hope more students and lovers of illustration/ pen and ink/art in the US check out his art, he was a true master.

You have been an inspiration for me to challenge myself and tackle a different way to draw, while still being my art. Thanks

[kolsnack]

Your videos have inspired me and taught me so much the past few months! I can't wait to delve into Toppi's work and possibly do a master study myself 😁

This is the second video I've seen from your channel and I'm fascinated!! I'll become a regular visitor to your channel!! I keep learning thanks to you. As I mentioned in another video, I'm fascinated by this technique. I've known about it for a while but I hadn't focused so much on it. Thank you very much for this video and all your content.

I was jealous of your pen holder, so I sculpted my own out of clay that looks like a bear (my favorite animal). Oh, hey! A bear!
Anyway, love your videos and find them really inspiring and helpful.

What an interesting study, i personally struggle with textures a lot, I find difficult to come up with proper material representation. This study beatifully reminds me that sometimes the textures don't necessarily need to be representative, as long as they're interesting. I think with this knowledge i might dedicate more time to coming up with textures that i find interesting instead of focusing on natural representation.

Alan Cober is another great pen and ink illustrator to study. He’s much more non-traditional but fascinating and wonderful!

[SteveRB]

Loved your study of Sergio Toppi's style and then your interpretation with your cat illustration — very nice!
