AP Drawing Concentration Portfolio

This year I took AP Drawing and built a concentration portfolio, which basically means I created ~15 pieces that all centered around a central theme and were made with more or less the same medium.

Instead of depicting them as your typical mindless beasts or vengeful spirits, I drew them to feel as human as possible. In other words, I managed to get away with drawing monster people for homework....

I made 14 pieces but cut out a few that didn't follow the theme enough, or were otherwise not strong enough to include in the portfolio that I submitted to the AP judging board. Here is the final portfolio:
