Portfolio explanation

My portfolio is my collection of my pencil drawings. I have been drawing for fun since I was a kid and these drawings are all within the last few years.

My first drawing is a picture of Taylor Swift, this was back in 2017 when her Reputation Album came out. This was one of my earliest drawings in my portfolio. This was the first time I used a grid for my drawings and I was really proud of how it turned out.

The next drawing was a Charcoal piece from my art class at community college. It was my first time experimenting with charcoal, and I loved it. My teacher at the time taught me a lot about drawing and I still use her advice today. This was just a quick piece I did in class but ended up really enjoying it.

The third drawing is another Taylor Swift drawing. I love Taylor Swift so much that every time I need a subject she is the first person I think of. This was a few years ago, I decided to pick up my pencil for fun for the first time in a while. I think this was one of my best drawings so far, and I loved creating it. I blew through this drawing and finished it in just a few hours because I was having so much fun drawing it. I feel like my reference picture was so iconic that this drawing turned out perfect.

The next one is a prompt I had in my drawing class again. We had to sketch out some baby dolls, and I ended up loving how it turned out. I am not super comfortable drawing anything that is not a portrait, so I was surprised this ended up coming out good. I was really proud of drawing this without a a reference picture, and it ended up coming out pretty realistic.

The next drawing is yes, another Taylor Swift drawing. This one was from high school, and It is definitely one of my favorites as well. I think the details on this one are my favorite I have ever done and the complexion up close is something I am very proud of.

This last picture is a picture of all my classwork in my art class in college. Mostly just sketches of the fruit drawings we did in class, and I thought they looked super cool all together. I learned a lot in this class and wanted to document some of my progress so I made sure to capture this picture.

Overall, these are just some of my favorites from my portfolio and my drawing experiences.
