# About me

Hi everyone,

I started my life with art very early as most children. I was a fervent scribbler and drawing man. Pretty early already I had an eye to make something look like it really was similar to reality.
But my heart was set on other things as well. I had and have a great imagination so I would also try and draw stuff that didn't excist. Me and my brother would often lie in bed and told adventures of ourselves as non existant and existing animals. One example; I used to like leopards and imagined myself to be a leopard with a tail that ended not with a black tip, but a white one.

This imaginarium continued joyfully. But then highschool came and robbed some of that time spend imagening. I came back to my realism and drew all kinds of animals.

I started to learn more principles in art classes about perspective, shape, shadow, light, concept and a lot of other stuff. Through my great teachers (artist themselves) I evolved as an artist, but never quite accepted my identity to be an artist. Yet as life moved on I kept on drawing and kept on loving art.

Recently my desire has been set to become a real artist and evolve my art to professional level. So I keep on learning and practicing, using youtube-channels, books and of course; practise, cause no artist becomes a master without practise.

And so here I am, looking to expand and go further. Hope you'll enjoy and be inspired to keep on drawing and building your artist dreams and remember, no matter how high a mountain, every mountain climbed started with one step.

Fellow artist,
Jaap
