Commercial art is just that, an assembly line.
Part of the art of creation is identifying images one wants to render to presentation level. A dozen or more sketches might pave the way to one keeper. The rest went into the portfolio, never knew when the 'process' might have as much selling power as the finished piece.
If you are in an academic program and have never been asked ''is this all you've done ?'', then you might have impressed the instructor with your work ethic, or
you ended up in the art class intended for non majors and athletes on scholarship.
alec, presentation is part of the process, and supporting your work, some times with extreme prejudice is a skill that must be practiced. When to ignore, when to confront, and when to lead the flippant into a lawyer's rhetorical trap. Can not let the casual remark of a motor mouth steal the thunder of a drawing taken to presentation levels of detail.
How good is the work I've seen? I was impressed with your avatar thumb nail.
I can see you are true to the hard copy level when I see the above rendering.
You must decide how much polish you need later, if you choose to emulate the commercial artists of the '50's. Perhaps an old issue of the New Yorker Magazine or The Saturday Evening Post will provide examples in how free flowing pen and ink rendering can be.
I look forward to any image you choose to show, and am most interested in the Perk and Traits work in progress.
