Hi man, read your thread...I'm in a similar boat, as my parents payed for a degree I didn't really care about...now I'm 22 and don't know what to do...I guess you are sure about what you want to do now, uh? My suggestion is to check out some atelier, there's plenty of them in the us, they basically should give a good starting foundation in 3-4 years but you'll probably need a job to cover your expenses.
Your stuff looks promising, if your really care about this you should work your ass off and maybe you'll get in.
I'm going through the same process, really...check out my stuff you want.
Best wishes.

In my humble opinion, none of these drawings are college resume worthy. However, your figure drawing skills show potential, and could be used on your portfolio with proper refining. I like to organize things in bullets, so here are my suggestions in list form. (lol, I sound all professional, amirite?)

- Continue your figure drawing. However, when creating a work to put in a college portfolio, don't use copyrighted photos, but draw from real life. (like that guy you drew on the paper bag)
- Use proper materials. You definitely don't want a piece of paper ripped out of a sketch book in your college portfolio. Use large canvas boards, something akin to, oh, maybe the half sized poster papers teachers give out in school to do projects on. Also, I would use that india ink for your final pieces. It gave them a clean, professional look.
- Learn another medium. There are many classes that teach mediums like watercolors, and acrylics, so maybe consider taking a class in something similar to this.
- My last piece of (boring) advice is that once you've learned a medium your happy with, draw some art from the imagination using it. Again, use a canvas, not normal paper.

Well, thats about all to say in my long-as-fuck post. I wish you luck.
