* Wim's Sketchbook
I'm 25 years old, living in Belgium (Western-Europe) and I started taking art classes almost a month ago
Currently we're still doing some really basic stuff, like contour and blind contour drawing, negative drawing and so on. However, I think I've already taken a liking to portrait/life drawing. So I guess you'll come across a lot of anatomy studies in my sketchbook..
I didn't have much drawing experience prior to the start of the art-class, so I'm really just starting out
Comments and (constructive) critique are always welcome, of course
-> I'll keep my last ten drawings viewable directly through this page, and I'll provide a link for all the previous ones, to save some bandwidth
