Hi, this is all artwork for my a-levels at school.  *obviously not my own composition... rolleyes *    Well, that's it! The bottom 2 are from this year, so any crits about those i can actually do something about. The others are sitting on an exhibition board somewhere gathering dust, so..not so easy. sweatdrop

Have you been using strictly photo graphic references?
The images here are nice, but particularly in the two faces, there are some issues, particularly with how they look flat, even though you've painted the values that you see. When you draw from photographs or paintings/drawings, the images you go from have already been rendered two dimensional. I think drawing things more from life is really alot more helpful, since it requires your brain to process something 3-D and translate it into 2-D
I think it helps create more awareness of spatial relationships, or something.

Oh this makes me so sad. I have none of the work from my higher art year. My folder got thrown out (the folder itself was a piece of art- I cut a stencil-like design in the cardboard keeping it's shape with a knife) wtih all my pictures inside and we don't get our coursework for the examboard back after they have graded it crying I loved some of that, they were the best paintings I have ever done I think and now they are either in a skip or in a pile of old pupil's examples in our schools art department somewhere.
I like the scared face, very nice skin tone- such a b***h to paint, especially if it's over a couple of days.
The other portrait is cool too, nice little patterns. It kinda looks like it's a child from some wild, beutiful tribe.

Yep...no life drawing for me yet. Should get to do some in college next year 3nodding
