Midterm Portfolio

For my midterm, I'm picking up 12 of my favorite or most well-drawn sketches to showcase. This includes drawings from my sketchpad and my larger canvas.

This one I'm proud of because of how I got the legs to look, more canine-like and good with positioning with the back and front parts of the dog anatomy.

This one I feel has a lot of character in the expression, and the first character sketch I did.

This one started as a character sketch, but extended into some expression tests. Probably my favorite.

Another favorite, was a basic character sketch, just to try my luck from something out of my head as opposed to a reference or a model. Very happy with how it came out, and very careful as well.

Some practice with lighting and shadows when I drew this pill bottle. I tried to draw all the little shadow lines I saw but I should have used less thick pencils. I feel it went good.

This was another character model, with a good look of the eyes and mouth for expression.

In an exercise to try and help hand-eye coordination, I tried to draw things by looking at them and not my paper. After drawing about 4 or so objects, the whole page looked like it made some kind of archway!

This was my first attempt at using shadows on a model.

This was a little practice with my new sketching approach to drawing, as opposed to my last method of using thick lines for everything. I particularly like how Pikachu and Kirby came out to the bottom right.

And finally, my headshot skull work. I think it came out pretty well for a focused work such as this.
