Portland Metro Scholastic Award

I won the Silver Key Award for my portrait! I entered this just for fun [I'd only recently heard about the competition before the submission deadline], and was ecstatic to find out that I'd won an award! This competition is held annually in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program, which is sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers.

Kidney

Sorry for not posting anything! School has been a whirlwind of major tests, assignments, and projects. Here is a drawing I did following a kidney dissection I performed in my Anatomy and Physiology class. I didn't have a blending stump so the shading is not great, but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out. The dissection itself was really fascinating, and you can see on the right hand corner all of my notes on the sections of the sheep's kidney which my partner and I were able to identify.
