Drawing Classes

I am currently taking drawing classes 2 days a week at the cultural center by my house. I was a total beginner when I started and still am pretty much. The classes are great though, and I'm learning some really interesting stuff about perspective. The professor draws on a sheet on the board and we copy onto our own papers; I really like this approach (probably since I'm a visual learner :P). The professor speaks mostly in Tunisian Arabic, with some French words and phrases thrown in, so it's also a language class for me :P.
All of my fellow students are women, most of them in their late 20s, 30s and 40s, including one of my friends, Jihen. She is much more talented than me, though.
Here are 2 examples of some perspective work we've done. The sketch of the medina is super typical in Tunisian art.
