For some reason, when I saw this on the front page, I thought it was a couple of portraits of Tonks.

the back side of your head on each of those photos? that is, if you could reenact it well enough. it would be quite clever, i think.

Good luck! These look so solid and I'm sure you'll get in. You have a really great and simplified value range that I really admire and wish I could pull off. Also, your nose is so cute ;3;

You don't need school, actually. You just need paying work! School is fun, anyway, and a great experience in itself. Just don't let your school think you need them....they need YOU. For them it's all about the Benjamins! The quality of your portfolio is a thousand times more important than having a degree of any sort. Alan Lee started working in comics at 17 and he has opened his own school for students. Jason Scott Campbell only finished half his graphic design school program before Jim Lee hired him to pencil Gen 13.....one of my favorite comics ever. Frank Frazetta was classically trained by an Italian master painter but never went to college as far as I know.

I suppose it's more important to know WHAT you want to do so your focus is set. Once your focus is set....persistence is everything.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnimpotent." ~ Eyvind Earle

Oh yeah...awesome sketches!
