Still Portfolio-ing

[Joanna Davidovich]

Don't call me a lazy bastard yet- I'm about halfway done, I swear! The hardest part is figuring out what I ought to toss out and what I ought to keep. Some artists can't stand the sight of their old work, but I weirdly prefer a lot of my old stuff to what I have done lately. I feel like every time I learn something new, my brain chucks out something in order to make room. These pages from my old, outdated portfolio show what I mean. Even though these drawings are crude and unrefined, there's a fun looseness about them that my current art lacks. I am tempted to keep these pages in, but my brain is telling me to make room for newer stuff. These pages had three years to get me someplace. Maybe the drawings I replace them with will be more of a success. I'll just look at these pages a bit longer and try to remember how to draw this way...
