<p>Wow, thanks for the great response!</p>
<p>violadad - I’ve been following (and been intimidated by, haha) Pastel’s thread pretty closely for the past week. Thanks for the great links!</p>
<p>AA - Thank you so much for the suggestions. I’ll make sure to contact my local community college’s art department and ask for feedback on my portfolio. And, haha, sorry about the minors slip-up; I’d forgotten that they were only in the process of considering adding them. :'D</p>
<p>johnshade - Your reassuring comments made my day :]</p>
<p>lonestarmom - I’ve been taking art classes at school, but I feel like my instructor is overestimating my abilities. I do hope to ask her help come scanning/photographing time.</p>
<p>From looking at the AP art portfolios, I guess I should be focusing more on improving the content of my art rather than my technical skill… Again, many thanks to everyone who responded!</p>
