Grades Update

Well I got an A in the Concept Development class!!! I have a few weeks to relax for the next class doesn't start until January 12th. Time to catch up on stuff around the house that I have been putting off. Plus being the end of the year I need to upgrade software on the PC. So I will be busy for awhile. Hope everyone has a Wonderful New Year!

Finished Display

Here are my 20 sketches, I could not come up with 20 different types of bags so I finished off with different types of designs.
