Beautiful work! how do you smooth your brush stroke out on your digital paintings? mine tend to be very strokey if thats even a word, and I was just curious of your method for smoothing it out. :-)

Dangggg Alice! That top one is NICE. But I think you made the right call on it not being quite appropriate for "nontraditional". Still, it's a lovely portrait :) And I agree with Andrew, I like the lighting especially on the 3rd one. Looks like you're getting more used to digital painting, yes?
Lexi: Thanks! I just went over the hard lines (that make the image look 'strokey') a few times until they smoothed out. I varied the hardness of the brushes I used and changed the direction of the strokes.
Andrew: Thank you. Honestly, I'm a bit scared to use color (too many options) so I'm glad you like them.
Kali: Thank you! Yes, I've been painting with the table whenever I had the chance.
Your colors! Ahh. I love the little secrets and surprises in these, where there are really beautiful moments! Like the ear or space between the eyebrows on the first, or the lips on the last, the right eye on the middle.. really fabulous.
i like the use of light. its very effective and the first portrait is my favorite. the background really clashes with the design on your shirt along with the glasses, it works well.
The technical stuff: Each week you are required to post your weekly sketchbook here--they should be uploaded before class each week. (remember, when you're scanning and posting to the blog, sketches should probably be 72 dpi and in Grayscale or RGB. Finals for printing should be scanned at 300 dpi.)
I encourage you to comment on each other's work and post any other projects or doodles you'd like to share or would like input on--this can include progress on class assignments, experiments, or links of interest you think the class would enjoy. This blog is to encourage you to help each other out, get ideas flowing, and see what everyone is up to! Have fun with it!
I'll be posting something myself each week, so stay tuned!

Great lighting on the second and third portait. It works well with their backgrounds. I also think that you made good color choices for them as well.
