Critique Me: Landscape "Work-in-Progress"

This is my current project in Digital Illustration. They're TREES! Please abandon your feedback. Personally, I think I've got a lot of work ahead of me......ugh.

Yultide Greetings!


This lady was a vendor at the German Christmas Market in Chicago, 2010. I creepily snapped her portrait to bring Yuletide Joy to all of you. You're welcome. Please detatch an opinion of this photo from your brain and leave it in the comment bar. I personally like the way the lights frame her face, but they do take away from her a bit. Merry X-mas and Happy August!

First Post, Ever!

Hello, World!

This blog has now been BORN! (....minus the blood, afterbirth, and other messy organics). Its life span is expected to terminate at the end of the school year. But until then, here's what its short, little life will consist of:

1.) Art news.
2.) Art reviews.
3.) Disscusions with my art class.
4.) My current artwork (because I crave love and attention...).
5.) The art of TOTAL STRANGERS! (i.e classmates)

I wish you luck as you watch the growth of, contribute to, and are eventually horribly mauled and consumed by this Ferocious Beast.

Yours Truly,
M.S. Mark
