Panel ~ Winter 2013

I know it's been like a month and a half since I posted, but school and family stuff has literally been taking up ALL of my time. HOWEVER, school has been going well! This quarter has gone 8394754y3iut times better than last quarter, and I'm very confident about my panel.
Panel, at The Creative Circus, is pretty much our finals. Except there's a catch: You would rather lather your eyes in hot sauce than go through this. Pretty much, there's 4+ people on a "Panel" (duh). And we have to print and mount ALL of our work from the quarter onto foam core, and present it to them at the end of each quarter. We dress all fancy and actually put makeup on. We're supposed to treat it like a job interview, so it's good to learn and get comfortable with the environment. It's totally not my thing though. Last quarter, I was so nervous, that when I was critiqued too terribly, I started to cry. Not to mention of the panelists was a TOTAL jerkwad. But you know, pick on the young one. No biggy.
THIS panel, though... Ha, ha, ha. This panel's going to be great. I've already been complimented very highly on my work, so I'm excited to see the feedback that I get.

One of my favorites. A friend of my sister's since she was 3, and she's just gorgeous. I had to do a soft-light portrait (woman lighting, pretty much), and retouch EVERYTHING. Every baby hair, every pore, every imperfection. So it was easy ;)


Fingers crossed! I'll be going in to panel on the 19th, so lots of mounting between now and then. I'll try to keep updating through the process!
