I have been thinking of ways to get ready for school, and a big one is getting a good portfolio ready. When I was reading online, I noticed that a common thing that all the art schools are looking for is a display that shows the basics. They want to see how well you draw, paint, etc, rather then your imagination. So, to help supplement my own portfolio I have started a new series. It is basically going to be graphite portraits of people, but in an unconventional way, so I don't get bored with it. I have two done already and I plan to do about 5-7. That doesn't mean I will use all of them. I will probably ask you guys, as well as some teachers, what ones best display my ability. I have noticed that art in graphite is hard to photograph too, so bare with my bad photography for now. I hope to have all of them done in about a couple months. Thanks for checking in. --Nikki
