Beer bottles (1984)

realistic colored pencil drawing of beer bottles

An early coloredpencil sketch of beer bottles, learning to create mass out of tonal values. In retrospective I like this one because it shows the transition from a child to an adolescent and more mature look at things.

Tour de France (1979)

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers

Amusement park Hagslaren – 24-06-79

Normaal – 06-06-78

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers

Dancing people (1978)

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers
