first pass at the portfolio

for the animation/illustration major at my school, i have to make and submit a mid-program portfolio review. i've recently scanned and taken photos of what i think is my best work. we have to submit a minimum of ten pages, although what's on there and how we format it is up to our choosing. there's a more design involved, but i just wanted to lay out what i have so far.

page 1

i wish i could take better pictures of the next 3 pages, but i can't? maybe i'll try to scan them at a fedex/kinko's.


page 2


page 3


page 4

gotta clean these up, but this will probably be my best page (but not my favorite.)





page 5

i went through a phase were i only painted rotting fruits. i need to get my grapes painting at school (i think.)



page 6

i didn't get the flesh tones correctly, but i find most of the shapes to be appealing enough.


page 7


page 8

i like most of this, but there are some pretty big perspective problems.


page 9

this is probably my fav drawing, but i don't know if it's enough for it's own page.


page 10

i wish i could draw better because this page would be much better.




some other drawings that might make it in.

Practice


Worked from a photo of Greg Oden. Need to use more colors. Looks undead. I think another wash or two would be OK, but I also think it's fine to keep this as is, and remember the mistakes.

And shapes. Have to be more on point. My brushwork needs work.

Outside Today

Took around 3 and a half hours. I am a slow painter.
