I guess I should enter a little introductory blurb, eh? >_> I'm currently a junior at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, aka LACHSA. I'm planning on attending Art Center to major in Illustration. This thread was created at the behest of a few friends who're also floating around on CA. Mmm... Here's some other images I found floating around on my computer. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking at my work.

some animal studies.

[lesqueletterouge]

I like your animal studies, especially the fish that look like lizards keep up the good work.

[loveandasandwich]

Wow, some really nice stuff you got here! Fantastic colors in the portraits, I especially like this one. (http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/00034142/s640x480) But the one underneath it is just amazing with all the detail you put into it. Really great.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Hehe thanks a lot for the kind comments. : ) I think that one's my favorite out of the portraits too. I was trying to give a narrative feel to each one.

[Seaport]

Cool stuff, especially like the woman in the yellow top and the bull in the last post (has some great energy to it), the only crit i would make is with your creature design (first image) it's a little hard to read.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Mm is it the antlers and the mouth area that are hard to read? After working on the same piece for a while it's a bit hard to point out the weak spots to myself heh. The images I've posted are downsized a bit so that it's easier to see each piece as a whole, so that may be why it seems a bit off, but I could be wrong. : s

Hehe, and the girl in the yellow sweatshirt is a very close friend of mine who I've known since kindergarten. I'm glad you like it :rendered: I remember a day in middle school when she had gotten into an argument with another student and in this piece I tried to convey her irked mood.

[Art of Ruin]

yo hey its alex...i haven't seen some of this stuff yet

nice WAHOO
too bad that elephant didn't win scholastic
such bs

[Zombie_dla]

Love the amount of detail you have in your drawings. Keep it up!

[Yosul_Gongju]

Thanks for the comments guys!
I'll be uploading some other pieces I've been working on as soon as I find my camera... >_>

[Zoroko]

I really love the amount of color you put into your works, it's really interesting~!! Great work there.

Your black and white pieces as well just have so much life. keep up the great work~!

[n0ireclipse]

Ahhh...Inspiring! Thankyou, now I'll be off to draw. This is just what I needed <3

[Yosul_Gongju]

Shaky hands + shitty camera = blurry pictures. Sorry!

Wow these are really blurry... Sorry... I have really shaky hands. Q_Q

[Quicksilver]

*Wow* (http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/00034142/s640x480) ...awesome. I really like your life drawings too - they're all wonderful. This one's (http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/0001b1f1/s640x480) really strong. Very solid, confident lines and a rather jazzy style to boot, hehe.

Man, you're younger than me too.....:nohope:

Nice work, and do keep sharing~ ^_^

[Newbs]

really nice stuff!

[lefran]

hey ! really like your work, really like everything in your first post, especially the creature design at the top and This (http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/00034142/s640x480) is great also, look forward to seeing more
Fran

[devbot]

for your age your amazing dude. keep it up!

[AlexC]

hello,
firstly this is wonderful-http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/0003k540/s640x480
the subtle shading looks great.
Plus, I think its great your able to do life drawing also, the charcoal draw's look the best imo.

One of the problems I see with your graphite stuff are the values.
One technique that may help you is laying down a graphite "wash", essentially covering the whole thing lightly with graphite and smudge it with a piece of paper or tissue, then increasing the value range in dark spots etc, then using a kneaded eraser pulling back the highlights.
Have a look at Ted's sketchbook to see what I mean, it creates some whimsical soft drawing's and may adress your value problem( you need a fuller range of values)

-Ted's sketchbook link http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20007&page=6

real impressive stuff:)

[Yosul_Gongju]

Haha oops, it's been a while since I've checked back. Thank you for all of your comments.

Alex - I haven't tried that method before, but I'll try to keep it in mind the next time I do a pencil drawing. I usually don't use an eraser, but I'm beginning to see that I should explore it a bit.

At the moment I'm tied up making my first plushie. It's my first time using a needle or making anything 3d for that matter, so it's taking me a bit to learn from my (plentiful) mistakes. I'll try to post an update when I've finished. Again, thanks for the comments! : )

[AmontilladoAg]

Aw, cool! A plushie :) Wanna see it when it's done! :teeth:

You got some sweet art goin' on here... your animal studies, your creatures - excellent! And I like the way you do skin tones... :^^:

Keep up the good work, chica! :)

[Yosul_Gongju]

Hehe thanks! And... Here's a small update!

Batman Plushie! (sans cape, will be added later)
http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/0003r2c1/s640x480

[Felicia]

Really nice work. I especially like the girl in the green dress and cropped portrait of the guy.
I think some of the figure drawings seem a little over worked (the ones where the model kept moving) but over all very strong.
Are your color portraits color pencil? You have a very good sense of color in skin tone.

[kuroart]

nice sketchbook so far. the life studies are very good.
Keep it up.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Yup, the portraits are done with prismacolor pencils. I've been a bit busy lately but hopefully I'll get an update up soon.

[Blaz]

Woah,very nice SB. Really like the portraits ,and the woman sewing...there is something realistic about those...she might be stylized a bit but so real...
Are those colored pencils?

Woo go go batman plushie! :D

-Blaz

[AlexC]

hah that plushie is kickass!

[AmontilladoAg]

gah, batman plushie! <3 Uber-cool!!!

[Maxine Schacker]

This is excellent work for high school! Tell us more about your high school program, please, or is it you who are doing the research and teaching yourself traditional skills?

[crimson89]

This is some powerful stuff. I love the elephant/human one.

If you're interested into getting into Art Center, you'll do great.

[poise]

Great Sketchbook Yosul I love the woman in the green dress. :)

[Yosul_Gongju]

Update!~

It's been a while since I've posted, sorry about that :F Thank you all for your kind comments by the way.

Maxine - LACHSA (now renamed Arts High, yuck) is one of the top arts high schools in the US at the moment. There are departments for Visual artists, Vocalists, Instrumentalists, Actors, Dancers, etc. The Visual department has, I believe, about 40 different courses that students can choose to enroll in. The courses span a broad range of subjects from fabric design to industrial design to ceramics and graphic design. I'd say about half of the instructors are actually passionate and knowledgeable about what they teach. The ones that do know what they're doing, though, have really helped me to improve on both my work ethics and skill. Aside from LACHSA classes, this summer I enrolled in a Saturday High class at Art Center. Sophomore year of high school was the first time I had formal instruction in the arts. I hope that answers your question, and I hope also that you read this reply that is now about two months late ><

Alright, so on with the pictures!

A 10-minute continuous line drawing.

http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/0003wa2c/s640x480

Extreme foreshortening... The model stood on a stack of blocks and I was at the edge of the block, right under him. Was a rather interesting experience.

Some fish at a Chinese restaurant I was eating at. Unfinished, but I like it that way.

[Sketch]

I'm really enjoying your inked work. Love the dark imagery as well. It'll be cool to see you develop in the direction your headed.

[AlexC]

Yosul the last update is good, inks are very nice, I like how you can out in lots of lines and shade with pen, something I cant do for nuts:$
you are so lucky they teach proper arts in school, and the art center class sounds fun,
keep updating :)
have some stars

[Yosul_Gongju]

Haha Alex, you came back! Ahh I do feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to attend LACHSA. It really opens you up to the different fields and helps students decide whether or not this is the career path they want to take.

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone. Ink is actually my medium of choice, although I have no idea why I hadn't uploaded some of my inks before >_> I'll try to have another update soon, as there's some work I left lying around in my locker at school.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Small update.

First still life I've done in about two years, ahah!

http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/00043xx9/s640x480


A portrait of a classmate -- the model failed to show up that day.

http://pics.livejournal.com/thelovepumpkin/pic/00044krr/s640x480

Blurry pictures because of my damn shaky hands. ><

[Sketch]

Damn your blurry pictures! That last portrait is great... love the shaky lines for the scarf type thing. I think the hair could use a little bit more definition to it.

[showdownmetal]

wow, i am absolutely amazed. i love the portraits. they're so lifelike. most peoples portraits usually seem to be off on the dimensions, but yours look like real faces. are those done with colored pencils? keep posting.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Small(er) Update :D

Sketch - Yeah, sorry about the blurriness... Bothers me even more ><. About the hair, I didn't have as much time to work on the portrait as I would have liked. The pose was short, and in addition to that she had curly hair, making it even more of a hassle to add detail to it. This next portrait I'm posting has a bit more attention on the hair though.

Showdown - Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, all of the colored portraits were done with Prismacolors, two of them with inked outlines.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Thanks! They're both done in Prismacolor pencils.

[Yosul_Gongju]

It's been a few months since my last update. I've just been lazy hahaha. Weellll, here are all the figure drawings I've been doing since then, along with some of what I've been doing in my introductory Industrial Design course at LACHSA, taught by Tony Yao, who I made a doll of...

[Yosul_Gongju]

Thank you for the kind words and quick replies!

Ah, and for clarification:

I'm a senior now, and will be graduating in June 08. I'll be attending Pasadena City College for a year or two before moving on to Pasadena Art Center College of Design for either Illustration or Product Design. I haven't been able to choose between the two subjects as of yet but I'm leaning towards Design... :3

[D.Focus]

hey thanks for stopping by my sketchbook, you're life drawings are really good, makes me miss school. and i really want to comment about the plushies. when i was a kid i used to win plushies and sew them together in different combinations like little monster stuffed animals. reminds me of that a lot!

Sketch for another idea for soap.. pressed into the shape of a realistic flower. Only did one page because I wasn't too into the idea.

Thank you for the comments. Please don't be afraid to crit! I encourage honesty more than anything :) Thanks for taking the time to scope out my stuff!

[ohomoho]

You are realy good with both coloured and pencil/inc works. And whats up with that explosion of images :) .But what i realy enjoyed was the scans for your sketchbook with the "i lick your icecream/lolypop " and the slug.They just looked like fun to do.

[Yosul_Gongju]

Haha thanks :)

Yeah, the sketchbook pieces were quick and fun! Ahh, I just had a huge sketchbook dump because I'm rather lazy and it took me months to motivate myself to photograph everything. :bashful:

[Sketch]

The variety you have here is awesome. That last life drawing is great!

[Blythe]

I add that I love the life drawing, but I love figures in general.

I really like all your pen and marker work, I am impressed with your patience, I am not sure I would be able to handle that. ^^

[Yosul_Gongju]

Sketch - Heyyy popping by again ? Thank you for your kind comments :)

Blythe - Ahh yeah I love doting on details. Here's some more work I had lying around, along with figure work that I finished about three hours ago haha

The figure drawing above was done in a half hour. The oil painting preceding that (and all of my other figure paintings) were done in 2 hours each, one sitting per week with a new model each class.

I like your figure studies and the soap project looks pretty awesome. You have great attention to detail and you are very talented

[Eric Young]

Your color pencil skills are freaking amazing! I'm jealous, keep up the great work!

[Yosul_Gongju]

Whee another update. Maybe I'll get in the habit of doing this regularly haha.
