Last Showcase of the Year

[darkshark]

Well, school is finally over, and as alot of you know I showcase my artwork that I've done over the semester. This time around, I made quite an improvement on doing portraits, which was the focus of the class, although my main goal was to make hair look more realistic, along with better proportioning, as that was one of my weaker points. Enjoy .^_^.


The semester started out with some nude models, i thought this one was particularly well done in the structural sense, and because it was done in exactly 7 minutes.


My sad excuse of a Johnny Depp, theres alot of things wrong with this one, but at this point, I'm still trying to figure things out on my own. approx. 2.5 hours to draw



This is more of a test picture more than anything, just to work with hair and how it should flow. approx. 35mins to draw



Various sketches for eye shading approx. 25mins each






And now for my Final for the class, we had to draw the dreaded self portrait, using nothing more than a mirror, so no pictures to look at. This is one of my best pieces to date, simply because of the vast amount of time spent on making it as true-to-life as i could, I spent just under a month working on this, with 30+ hours on it, I believe it was time well spent. I even took it to Kinko's and had copies made lol, just in case the original is ever damaged.



I have alot of other doodles and sketches in-between, but I thought these were the better ones I suppose, and for those of you who haven't seen my other pieces, check out these
