Portrait Night

I finally took the time to go to Portrait Night again (most of the last semester I would forget or I was just really busy with homework). I thought I was going to be rusty after the break, but it turns out that I've actually improved! Instead of taking 15 min to do a portrait that takes up only a quarter of a page, I can now do full page portraits (huzzah)! I still need to work on shadow shapes, though, but that's something I feel I need to research more before I start just adding shadows willy-nilly.

Anyway, here are the portraits (can you recognize any of the faces below)?

Right after this sketch I decided to use ink just to mess around with lines. They turned out to be a success, especially with the last one.

Lycanthropy or Puberty?

You decide!

Sequential art from my Figure Drawing I class. Used black conte 2B on newsprint.

The sketch that was chosen for my next 2D-Design project. He actually told me that my sketches were excellent and I could choose whichever I wanted. You have no idea how happy I was to hear that.

These two sketches above were considered, but in the end I decided not to use them. They still look really cool on their own, though.

Portrait of a friend of mine (Adele). She actually wears her hair in a braid, but I ran out of time to draw it.  Oh well, maybe next time...

Condiments of a sandwich that I didn't eat, ha ha!

Some sketches of my friends and floor-mates (starting from the top left corner going clockwise: Zoe; Nick; Phil; Rachel).

A doodle of my friend, Garrett, who was so happy the day Bobby Chiu gave us inspirational words at Ringling's  Digital Painting Sketch Club.

He literally had to hug someone (Jacob), he was so happy.
