As this is supposed to be a skills demo for an art course, added materials and time costs to many of the drawings. Very boring.
I think I'm gunna have to re-shoot half the images on a bright day, so they have the same white point. Or file everything as a scrap which would be a a faster solution.

Heya Owen. If you want my brutal advice about building a portfolio, then I'd say that the stuff you have here on Deviantart isn't very appropriate. Focus more on still lifes (or if you have any very close friends, some life drawings). Expand your use of media, such as various paints, charcoals, fine line drawings etc. and break the bank on decent art materials. Tonal studies are particularly essential. A really good way of trying out new techniques is by looking at professional artists' work and immitating their technique but applying it to something different. Also try to make your composition interesting and vary your perspective. And don't be afraid to include sketches and quick ideas in your portfolio. When you're being interviewed for art courses, the teacher isn't looking for someone who is technically amazing at art, but more someone with creativity and flexibility in their approach to art. I hope that helps a bit. Good luck with your interview, I'm sure you'll get in as you clearly have enough passion for the subject =].

Content: yes I know.
I can't submit this, so I'm using it as a library of materials etc.
I hate doing tone studies by hand.
I will be posting some people sketches when i get my other sketch book back.
Is it valuable to post water colours du fink?

Sorry if that sounded patronising. Watercolours are fine if they're not too clichΓ©.

I know exactly how good i'm not at this, don't sweat it.
My botany type stuff isn't what i wanted to post or practice, but I have better control over it.
I think this is as I tend to do this with **real** subjects
