Recently finished grad school (MFA illustration) in Dec 09. Overall, I think it was a real good experience and that there's no way I would have been able to improve as much as I have in the same amount of time without formal instruction. Anyhow, here's a few sketches from class when I should have been paying attention ...
12.2.09 - san francisco > portrait painting class, the face on the left side was a profile of a classmate from another class
12.9.09 - san francisco > portrait painting class, one of the better painters in the class
12.18.09 - san francisco > last day of class/school - decided to sketch the view from the classroom
