After lurking around for quite some time, I figured it was about time to register and start posting some of my drawings.
First of all a study I made last weekend of a drawing by Leonardo



These are a few drawings from my sketchbook with studies after Bridgman





This is all for the moment. The quality of the scans differs a bit, but I'm trying to figure out what the best options are for scanning drawings....

Comment & critic always welcome...
