Welcome to elfwood! You have a great gallary, and I expect to see more.

Welcome to Elfwood!! Great start on the gallery. I really hope you do get into Art school! You can deffinately go places with your talent. My favorite picture? The Black Witch... its just really creepy.

Plus, rea, the good way to get ppl to keep commenting at your site is to visit them. [i didnt mean that to seem like i am hinting for you to return!] its weird. JK

ahh! still in time to put in the first ever comment on this great page. Still think youd be heading right with loads of sombre and morbid pictures. refreshing change from all the happy go lucky drawing around. but draw happy if you want to too! and anyone interested? the L in her name stands for "Lenard". yeah, i think its really feminine too. JK

good and strange gallery,all of us are waiting you learn to scan!*'o'*

update already rea! its been, what, like, 5 days now. you know they are gonna chuck you out for stagnating. Its one warning and your outta there before you know it.

hey chicki, just checking all out! you have some rather funky drawing here! keep it up, and come visit me!

First off you have a wonderful little collection of some great images. Very interesting line quality, and you certainly have your own definitive style -- it unquestionably commands attention.

I've noticed your comment, re: Applying to an art college, and as an admissions advisor at a very famous art school here in the states, i would like to reiterate a few key points to keep in mind when putting together your portfolio. First, well executed images are a dime a dozen if not properly organized, clean/professional, and demonstrate strong talent. Second, your portfolio must be a well-rounded assortment of images that demonstrates your ability to succeed in a variety of styles, media, and provide promise for improvement and some boundary stretching. Third, commitment to the arts is key. We often receive portfolios of work that appear to be quick pencil or ink drawings on standard 8.5" x 11" paper. Although some of the work is well down, it can get a bit redundant and indistinguishable from the hundreds of other portfolios we review. Some of this work is fine, but you will win more points if you throw in a piece or two that shows an on-going affair with the composition, and obviously took considerable time in concept and execution. Lastly, we look for candidates who can not only haw their own distinct stylization, but almost demonstrate strong ability it classic drawing. Knowing how to draw realistically is a real challenge, and clear ability to produce accurate proportion, variety, and color is essential. If you are new to art, i would suggest taking some still life and sketching for communication type classes.

None of these comments are specific to you, however, they're great guidelines for anyone to keep in mind when putting together a portfolio. I wish you much success and hope you succeed in the very exciting world or art and design. All the best, kk
