SB - Life Drawing

[Lizzybeth]

my backround info! (oh goodie!):
Ok, so I'm a senior in high school with my eyes on attending a college for animation. CalArts is my first choice, and I noticed that out of my top schools they were the only ones that said they accepted sketchbooks. Thus I decided to get a 100 sheet sketchbook to fill with life drawings in =~ 4 weeks. Hopefully I'll get some solid portfolio pieces out of it as well, considering I don't feel that I have any strong portfolio pieces - especially concerning life drawing.

I've got great grades and scores but if I can't work up enough scholarships to attend CalArts, my backups are Ringling and SCAD (which, If I keep my 4.0, I can get full-tuition scholarship tuition to, though I'd still probably be 40k in the hole by the time everything's said and done).

Here are my works from last year, comments, vilification, praise, or idle banter are all welcome. I took the ap drawing exam with these (others where submitted to get to the 24 total of course, but they're not on my imageshack). Needless to say I got a three, and I can see why...

the first two pages (pencil/pen) were done last week, the others this very afternoon.
they're digital pics as unfortunately my scanner does not accommodate 11x14 sizes.

I went to my first figure drawing session the other day and here are my drawings from it.

Nice work, I love the cow studies,
and the trees under them.
Good agressive strokes.
More!

[grundybug]

great stuff. love the water colours and the cows in copic jumped out at me for some reason. i did a little work in water colour in my sketch book of somewaves, check them out if you feel like it.
keep posting

Like the above, the cows really stood out, so bold. The paintings are very nice; I find complexion hard to nail.

Perhaps though, use attachments/img instead of thumbs? I'd like to see your stuff scaled up without having to go to every link. ;]
