Passed the review and moving forward!!

Hi! I passed the portfolio review. WOHOO! Now back to work. As Dori says "just keep swimming". This is only the beginning.

Here's some work that didn't make the cut for my portfolio for various reasons. As you can tell I love figure drawing and faces. :)

Hope you enjoy. Feedback is always welcome!

The portfolio I submitted is below this post, but apparently Blogspot has image auto-adjust that I haven't figured out how to turn off. So there's a strange grayish alteration to a few of the layouts that isn't suppose to be there.

Here are some caricatures I did the last day of Spring semester in Figure drawing:
Each of these drawings fill up the entire 18x24 newsprint paper and are of people in my class! After taking Chris's class I now LOVE drawing big. It was the best day of class last semester. Everyone had lot's of fun.

Here's a few more figure drawings: These were done at the figure drawing sessions where I get to play around with charcoal! :) I love the mess of that medium.

This gouache painting was the last painting in my sketchbook for Cameron Chun's painting class (last year). I remember being extremely proud that it actually looked like the object! haha I was having trouble with opacity, since I was so timid with paint. The day I painted, I remember feeling horrible about my work. So I painted. My mentality going in was "Grrr... I don't care I'm just going to paint!!!" Blobbed a ton of paint out of the tubes and went to town. In conclusion: I felt better afterward and realized I need to be more blunt with the amount of paint I apply! :)
