Hello everyone! I will be an illustration major at SVA this coming fall... to start thing's off, here are some pieces from my portfolio! More to come.

Here are a couple of sketches... the first was inspired by Vinculus from Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, he's sort of how I envision a young Vinculus.

I look forward to everyone's input!

Great start to your sketchbook, Chief! I'm impressed with your watercolor handling. Those character designs are looking good so keep up with the drawing.

P.S.- That drawing that you created of me is so awesome,haha. Thanks man=D

Thanks KidApe! Some of those paintings are actually guache, which I find a lot easier / more fun to handle

Here's a piece I did last year. It was really an experimentation in process: I was reading about lithographs, and was inspired to break down the drawing into its respective colors, so I did all the different colors of line work and fills on separate sheets of paper and combined them in PS.

I agree with the last two comments, the pencil character illustrations are really nice and have great depth and volume. Anatomy and faces could use some work though, overall great though.
