Well, I'm not sure what this weeks blog post is supposed to be about, but from looking around it seems like it's a retrospective on our portfolios so far. 

I think my portfolio is coming along fine, there seems to be plenty of diversity in it. However, lately I've been frustrated. I'm not sure why, it just seems like my last few pieces haven't really pleased me. I feel like I'm doing work because I have to do something and not because I'm actually fulfilling interesting ideas. The ideas that I have are too big for weekly projects or just seem inappropriate for a college portfolio. 

Despite this, the portfolio that I have so far is certainly headed in the right direction. I have some good observationals, a figure, a balance of pencil/charcoal and pastel/paint. I guess now what I really need is more developed stuff.

  1. I love all of the pieces you have created this year so far. I definitely agree that there is a lot of variety in your medias. I personally love the pastel* drawing of the croud of poeple, mostly because of the way you captured so many varieties of facial features!! Good work!

  2. I love every single peice that you make. You always choose really intricate things that tend to involve poles, or wires, or things like that and it always looks awesome. That could probably be your concentration or something since you're good at it and seem to like it.. but good job!
