Grad School

Well I've applied to grad school. I don't doubt that I'll be accepted. I'm sure that SCAD wants more of my money, but I do hope that they give me a decent scholarship. I'm both excited and nervous about starting grad school. I'm excited to have a more productive environment to work in that the classes will provide, and to be able to get truly constructive feed back one last time in the required critiques. But the thesis part has me worried. I sort of know what I want to explore, but I have never considered myself that great of a paper writer. Though I know there are classes specifically there to help me prep for the 45 hour review and the paper.

Anyway, the reason I'm finally making a new post is because I wanted to share a few of the pieces that I put together for said grad application.


Here are the first six pages. I actually started working on these when I was in Lacoste over a year ago. The inks are all recent but the pencils were done in France. I am fairly pleased with how these came out. One of the things that I want to start trying is using ink washes on characters clothes and also fabrics/cloth to give them a softer appearance.



This page is one of my more recent ones. I am really happy with it. I used to not work with textures much. Not because I didn't like it. I love textures, but I never really thought that I was all that good at it. I really worked for longer than I should have on this, but I think that it was worth it.
