'Jesus Saves' and 'Shoes' are definitely my favourite

But all of them are fantastic pieces, but the comic book cover doesnt seem to have what the rest do, I cant put my finger on it, but it just doesnt :wacko:

But all the charcoals are amazing

Well done, I hope you get the college you want

Yeah it's sick.. It's like one of the oldest and most respected schools of it's kind in the world or something like that so that's why it's so popular.
Anyway I'm supposed to do a 8-12 piece portfolio by the end of march to apply for the first stage of the entrance exam (dunno what the right term is) and then there are still 2 stages after that before you get accepted to the school :sad:

Prefer the still life drawings to the portraits...the belt is definitely your best one, but I like the shoes as well.

dude...you are stupid if you major in Digital art (no offense) but your charcoal drawings are 'the sh1t'....I would major in traditional art instead of digital...maybe minor in digital...

you wont get in on your digital work as there are alot of very good digi artist that have alot better work...but if you show that you are interested in traditional...you have a better chance...cause you are a shit ton better with charcoal...

yeah, I dunno what im gonna do yet

in all the art colleges im applying to they have a foundation year which is the first year. Pretty much, they ahve the students experiment with everything, mostly traditional stuff, then you get more and more into your major as the years go by. So I guess I could totally just change my major into fine art after my first eyar. Illl see what happens. Everytime I do another piece it just comes out better and better, so I guess I have a lot of potential

but thanks to everyone for the comments!
I really appreciate it guys


as for yates, o yeah I forgot about that shit! hahaha
PM me or sumthing and remind me what I have to do and ill get that shit done nigga

haha he should've taken a pic of me in that same position to show comparisons. I don't really look like that, but I blame that on me because we were watching the movie "Falling Down" and I kept distracting him and laughing.
