# About me
I was produced upon the south with its billowing heat waves and slow days, but my heart was bred and lengthened in the hallowed silent forests of the deep Appalachians.# Comments

Okay, I looked through some of the rest of your gallery! You have a very distinctive hand with color - a palette with personality and a consistent style of application. My one word of advice overall is to keep using models and references when you draw people... your still life was awesome, but sometimes your people have a few awkward places (around the nose/lip area, which is hard, and also a sense of form and bone structure in the shoulder and arms of your Mucha picture). Do you do much figure drawing, or do you draw the people around you in school, etc.? Not photos, but directly from a model of some sort.

Unfortunately, I usually have to resort to photos due to time constraints. When I went to SCAD this summer I took portfolio counseling and they told me that one of the things I really needed to improve on was drawing more from life. Yet I can't seem to overcome the problems of trying to find a time, place and person to do so. Thankyou for taking the time to critique and look closely at my pieces

I like giving actually valuable critique if I can, and you're good enough that the weaknesses are visible (and happen to be my only real strengths).
If you want to draw more from life, here's my suggestion: bring a sketchbook everywhere and draw everyone. Draw your classmates - just quick sketches of their faces. Profile, full-front, three-quarter, whatever you can get. It's going to start out rough and awful because you won't have the speed, but every time you draw something from life, you're training your eye and memorizing form. I find that drawing from a photo loses some of the life because you aren't getting the full feeling of "form" that you would drawing directly from a model.
If you can't bring a sketchbook without getting in trouble in class, draw in the margins of your notes. Draw people sitting on park benches or walking down hallways. It's amazing what a difference it will make, if you give it a few months. And you seem like you have the artistic skill and talent to make sense of what you learn with this extra studying.
Going to SCAD when you graduate? I've heard it's AMAZING.

I've thought of doing all that but have been lazy. You're right though, I need to get off my lazy butt and start working!

Get off that lazy butt, then! You've got the talent, you want to do it... crack the whip and get to it.
Once you get in the habit of doodling faces and people around you, it doesn't take very long and it's not actually that huge a commitment. It's a really good way to pass the time in boring classes or while you're waiting for the bus.
Good luck, whichever school you choose. Make sure you know what you're getting into and I'm sure it'll be great.
