My Late Master
I made this at the early hour of dawn this morning, as a tribute to my very first mentor in drawing. Teguh Santosa (1942-2000) was one of the best Indonesian comic artists in his era.
I drew it using my Lamy Safari fountain pen (the best fountain pen I’ve ever used so far), combined with a cheap brush and Yamura ink. As you can see, it’s virtually unfinished, and I have no intention to finish it. Too much sadness in that drawing; his sadness of being forgotten by the younger generation. That’s why I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it.
Anyway, here’s to you, master Teguh Santosa. I will always be indebted to you…

Very good 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
Edwin you have more pictures of your drawings? I would live to see them
Actually, I made at least 30 of them last October, during the Inktober 2014, and some more before and after that. You can find them in here using the tag inktober and drawing or ink drawing, such as this: https://edwinlives4ever.com/category/inktober/
Very-very-very cool!
Just ‘WOW’!
Unfinished, though…
No. Just unsaid.
Sometimes it’s better to stop before a line… than to overstep it.
Yes. That’s what I was trying to say.
Truly a fine tribute. It IS finished as far as I’m concerned.
This is a great tribute.
Thank you. I tried to emulate his drawing style for this one, but of course his is more mature.
Mentoring is a gift that matures as you do. I am just beginning to understand what my mentor saw in me.
Indicado:)

Saúde, paz e sucesso!
Teguh Santosa was unfamiliar for me, until I found his graphic novel compilation, ” The Pandawa” story, that’s cool, super cool with those quality. I’ve heard that Teguh became animator for Marvel too?
Most of his character has an indo-european anatomy appearance, or aryan face, that’s my personal opinion though.
Great guy indeed 🙂
The Pandawa Story, in English? Read the Translator’s Preface.
Yes, in english
Have you read the Translator’s Preface?
Not, animator. Ink man, for Conan series.
Do you find that most of Teguh’s character were having the aryan appearance? Mostly appear from the nose, chin, and eye. Do you know why? Though I find that kind of character is familiar with most of my comic collection
Most, but not all. I never asked him why, though.
I would say it is “finished” because it is at its reflective perfection of your emotions towards your mentor. Absolutely stunning piece, truly. Your respect, admiration and significant connection with this man shines through brilliantly!
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
