Fourth Presentation for my TMD 427, Presentations and Portfolios class.

1. Drawing Portfolio
Carinne Kolbé

2. This portfolio was created to show my proficiency in the
following skills:
• Ability to observe and recreate a variety of textures
• Attention to detail
• Knowledge of human facial proportions
• Ability to use shadow and light to create shape and
form

3. The pieces in this portfolio were made over a period of five
years. The first pieces were made in high school when I first
started drawing. Since then I have become interested in
painting, but I have also continued drawing. The gap in my
drawing work is due to my work from 2010 being
misplaced. The pieces from 2011 are less structured to show
my experimentation with texture and loose composition.
