Poekie (1990)

Realistic cat graphite pencil drawing

My cat ‘Poekie’ on my bed at my parents’ home when I was sick. I had the flu but luckily I also was caught by a drawing frenzy.

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.

Dancing people (1978)

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. This is a copy of a previous drawing.

Still life with fruit (1978)​

Child's painting by Corne Akkers

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs. I can see that all depth still is lacking and I cannot remember when I saw tonal values for the first time.
