Some of the best artists on the planet didn't go to Art school. It just meant they went a different route to getting where they wanted to be, but still produced the most beautiful and amazing quality art, which is why they are still talked about years after they died, and their drawings and paintings are sought out by collectors and galleries till this day. Kind of like going for a day out and there is a delay on the motorway, so you go on the alternate minor roads that people used before the motorway was built. You still get to your destination and have a great day, but you didn't get there quite as fast. The bonus was that the scenery was more beautiful, the ride was less bumpy and all around journey was more enjoyable and less stressful because there was less people to compete against. Don't think about what you CAN'T DO, but instead focus on what you CAN DO ! Good luck on your alternate plans, I am sure you will make it which ever way you go.

HOW DID YOU GET REJECTED??

LOVE the diorama inst in the background

Nagyon jó, hogy magyar dolgokat is látni🫶

The "ugly" sketches, unfinished drawings, illustrations and other stuff is what makes a sketchbook aesthetic in my opinion. It just looks human. I love it<3

anagram for "Mahdi of Arakis" nice one, honestly I'm not interested in drawing so Peace Next

I think it’s so stupid to reject people because it’s a school, if you knew everything you wouldn’t go to school right?

Oh my god yves diorama instrumental in the background UR SLAY GIRL

i was watching half of video and idk about the second part but you didn't say why youve got rejected, which is title of video, and i wanted to understand which mistakes was made. if im wrong and the author said something about it pls comment time code 😔🙏🏻/nm

I bet u rn that this video will blow up more with views and I hope this gives opportunities for this artist!!!!

Is that armeggadon in the background?

Your art is perfect for comics or kids books❤️ so cute and your backgrounds are fantastic

Wow! You’re art is amazing! I can’t imagine what you must have been up against. Hands are particularly hard and you certainly nailed it

What app is it

i love your art style so much

This is amazing!!!❤

They missed out, ur really good. Make them regret it because from what you showed I’m sure you can! Don’t get discouraged everything in this portfolio was amazing and unique ❤

I love the style of your art, it is really unique, but also it makes me feel really happy. I went to school for fine arts, and while it was fun and I would say I improved as an artist there, mostly I improved because I was practicing so much. So I think I could have learned most of it on my own. It's strange, my school would have LOVED you and your art, I have friends who have similar styles who went to school with me (only they were in the illustration department.) and now are professional freelance illustrators, I think you could make it right now too without art school. I do think art school is a lot of money, and maybe not worth it. I think marketing yourself and joining an art collective in your home city (if there is one?) is probably a better move, and that is 100% what I would have done if I could go back. Anyways, your art is great, but I am sorry you had the disappointment of being turned down from he school you wanted.

It’s nice to see a rejected portfolio for once. My portfolio also got rejected when I applied for art school. Good luck with your application next time! Also I love you’re backgrounds.

i might be wrong, but i couldn't help but notice the beats of the background instrumental songs of artms, yves, newjeans etc.. GOODD TASTE

Which art school was it?

Your voice is so pretty, and your art is just lovely!

Don’t give up, try again! Most applicants get rejected more than once.

It’s ok that you didn’t get excepted … just please don’t invade all of Europe because of it

The animation reel is really fun. The vibe is like a cutesy acid trip and I love that

You have cute ideas. Although a bit stereotypical. I can see why you didn't get accepted. You are a bit lacking in the basic skills like value, proportion, and concept. Your drawings are very flat, out of proportion and cluttered without a proper focus and concept. I'm sure with a bit more practice you'll get accepted next time though!🙂

The animation reel omg, the cat fluffing up, it’s all so good 🎉🎉🎉

Does ur school have a portfolio day? My state hosts one with schools all over the country who will review your portfolio and be honest about what it lacks for the specific school and what you may consider adding and extracting. So without that kind of process, we’ll never really know why they rejected your great work. Maybe they thought u were better off, maybe they wanted to see more process, more experiments and failures, but we really will never know!

In many cases, art schools aren't worth the hype aside from the facilities you have access to. The thing there is you don't usually have access to them unless you're actively in one of the classes that call for them. The best thing I've found (ex-art student in a lot of debt) is to go with a community college to start or go to a local or at least in-state public university. You can get a degree in whatever you want whether that's art or something else. While doing that, the art classes do help to get some fundamentals if needed and teach techniques you may not have otherwise had access to but the biggest benefit of them is that they keep you producing. The more you make, the more you develop your skills and style. You seem to already be making a lot, which is great! Art classes in school to keep you making and grant you access to facilities for printmaking/animation/ceramics/whatever and take you out of your comfort zone from time to time are all that the schools would offer above what you're doing for yourself. Most art schools don't have curriculum geared towards professional development as opposed to introductions to techniques and general output. The things you'll find at local/public schools will typically be the same - just look at the facilities they offer! Many schools that aren't "known" for their art program will have facilities that maybe aren't on par with art schools but will serve you just as well. The biggest help for me has been continuing education classes at art schools. They're waaay cheaper (most of the time) than what you'll find in a degree program AND generally way better for you. They're usually taught by industry professionals and are often geared toward people who are seeking to gain income off of these things. In-person can give you access to the schools' facilities and online still gives you access to the instructors, assignments/resources, and feedback. I 10/10 recommend SVA out of NYC. I take classes with them every session and have for the past 3 years or so. They're live online so it's really a regular class setting over zoom usually with small class sizes. They're not graded and there's no pressure - everyone's there to have fun, make fun things, and improve. Right now I'm in a class called "building fictional worlds" that has people of all skill levels who are working in various mediums (comics, novels, film scripts, illustrated books). I've also taken riso printing classes that would be right up your alley in terms of some of your work and they teach you how to prep files to send them away for printing so all you have to do is make the art, pay to get it printed, and watch it arrive in the mail. There are class offerings for fundamental skills like perspective, figure drawing, painting in watercolor/oil/acrylic, you name it. The best ones I've found for online classes have been SVA, MICA, Otis, California College of the Arts, SAIC, and there are a lot of local craft places that offer online and in-person classes. Our local one is the Baltimore Jewelry Center but there are a ton of them out there globally, especially in cities. Almost always under $1k for a class that run the duration of a semester at these ones. To compare, MICA's full-time enrolled students pay $2,280 for the same classes, often taught by the same instructors who use the same course material. They're offering a 10-week wheel throwing class in their ceramics studio taught by a ceramics instructor for $750 this semester. Good luck!!!

omg i was so shocked when i heard yves’s diorama playingg! (your art is so beautiful as well, idk how u got rejected)

I got rejected 2 times but got accepted the 3rd year I applied. If you think art school is for you don't give up! ❤ If you want any advice I'm seeing a lot of stuff in your portfolio that I was told not to include. The skulls in particular. They aren't bad drawings but EVERYONE will be putting skulls in their portfolio and the people looking at them are sick of seeing the same things. You should also show your process, not just finished pieces. Remember to annotate your artwork. Not paragraphs and paragraphs, but explain the art a little. Just one or two sentences. Hope you get accepted next year!

I have some thoughts about why this might have been rejected. It’s all done in a very consistent style. While it’s good for a working artist to have a consistent style, for a student they want to see you experimenting and flexible. Moreover, they want to see that you are both capable of working in other styles and willing to do so. So, for example, instead of just having a completed character page full of sea creature characters, it would be better to have a bunch of realistic sketches of squid, followed by some exploration of different ways to stylize a squid character, followed by a page of a completed squid character doing things. I think your highly detailed backgrounds are the most impressive part of the portfolio. You might emphasize this more by having fewer pages that feature your characters. For the backgrounds as well, you might have examples that show your whole process-eg a sketch in graphite, a pen drawing that builds on the sketch, and the a completed piece with color (or whatever your process is). And similarly, show yourself as exploring detailed backgrounds in a variety of styles, including non-cartoon realistic styles-eg a series of realistic tidepool sketches drawn from life followed by a detailed tidepool painting drawn from your sketches. A student with a full story project with a plot and characters is always going to be second choice to a student who is flexible, creatively exploring, and committed to actively learning new approaches.

I live really close to an a prestigious art school and the collage kids look so sad 24/7

The cat in the Lou comic strip, the Ponyo girl in the film of the same name, the tigers in the film My Father's Dragon, 15:28 the fish waving in the background: also seen in a SpongeBob cartoon, but I couldn't say exactly if it wasn't this one, and in blue I think, the little snail in the same scene looks familiar too, but as it's a super-simple design, it probably doesn't mean anything. There are lots of others too... I'm sorry but I only see these things whereas your drawings are really nice (according to my tastes) and very diversified and your general style is close to the style of animations that I like like like precisely the style of the film The Dragon of my father and cartoons for example. By the way, your cartoon girl and the atmosphere reminded me of several I know too, but from further away. It's nice anyway but if you used references that are related to the one I felt (I'm not a mind reader and it's embarrassing enough to say it like that o n o ), be careful because there are people who attack artists for anything so it was just to say that... o .o)' It's not mean at all if ever... (Deepl)

6:13 LOOP BY YVES INSTRUMENTAL?!?!!

Your experience hits a lot of staple moments in my life when I tried applying to an art school. It was at an art school for “gifted kids” I went to an interview to show case my portfolio. We also had three stages of using our skills to show case our drawing abilities. I remember how many were shocked and confused kids doodling aimlessly and being rather rowdy while I was so nervous and along with many other quiet kids we all sat and drew at this large table together just the items as displayed. There was one very talented artist that sat at the table who made a fruit bowl in seconds. It looked amazing. There was a good mix of 5-15 trying to get into this same art school. And wow I never had been to one before. I was always the art skilled kid no matter where I went, so this one time in this art school was eye opening for me. I was devastated when getting the letter in the mail that I wasn’t accepted. Sobbing about being a terrible artist after all. And wondering how I’m going to make money for the future now. That was my biggest concern. I was also sadly having a growth spurt becoming and 5-6 and 120 lbs so maturing and looking like a grown woman. The treatment I was given wasn’t appropriate in so many adult spaces including school at this time. That art school ruined so much motivation within me when I was 9. I really was appreciative when my mother told me the people at the art school were getting bribed with money and she didn’t want to tell me this out of not wanting to open up to me about it. She saw it happening while I was in a different room in the test taking but she apologized for not telling me this sooner only after I was saying things about being a failure. Since failing tests was an everyday occurrence at school I was really not doing well mentally. I was thinking of a way out. Finding out that many of those inspectors for the art portfolios got bribed by desperate parents with a lot of money did help a little bit. I still believed it was because I wasn’t skilled enough to go above the bribery and the experience damaged so much creative motivation within me. It also did not help I had a hyper fixation on Pokémon alone. So as one would imagine a lot of my artwork was from 6-9 of Pokémon. It wasn’t bad just really predictable looking when I look back at it. My mother at first told me it was because of my obsession with Pokémon. She didn’t like that I was obsessed with it and told me that was the reason I wasn’t accepted in the art school. which at the time was my biggest motivator to draw and her words kept me from continuing down that path way into art because I dropped doing artwork as a whole for Pokémon. I had to go to therapy for wanting to leave this world and then became obsessed with dark poetry and writing notes about leaving then a specific video game for the PS2 came out and I became obsessed with that game and it’s characters instead. And I’m still very much a Kingdom Hearts nerd at heart while being an idiot and not remembering hardly anything about it.

Thanks for your videos! They’re always super interesting

I went to art school (although as a photographer) and honestly, it was the biggest waste of money of my life (and I used to be addicted to drugs). Don’t let it discourage you. The only thing art school did for me is hold me back from taking jobs that I wanted to whilst a student because the teachers didn’t approve of my photography. I did far better without them.

This is completely from game artist's POV: your art is good and shows your skills, so I would pay attention to the portfolio's layout and order of the art pieces, the professional stuff so to speak. Those pages with characters and creatures are crowding the page and lacks balance and more peaceful rythm for the viewer. So arrange them with more though on the page. Same thing with the multiple backgrounds on one page, maybe 1 to 2 pieces on one page. I don't know if the order the work was determinated by the school, but if not, have your best ones first to create the WOW effect and have those first where you want specialize in (character, background, animation). Again, don't know how it's done in the art school, but when hiring artists, recruiters may only do quick 10sec view of the portfolio and reject them straight away or put on the second round, so that's why also the best ones first and the layout matters too. Don't give up!!

You have a very fun style!! From watching a lot of accepted portfolio videos i think what might be missing is figure and life studies to show an understanding in anatomy. Good luck next year if you apply again <3

I wouldn’t go to that Art school if I were you the fact they rejected all of this skill and creativity and personality is a red flag that they’re probably looking for a soulless blank machine. They’re not looking for artists they’re looking for obedient bland employees. It rubs me the wrong way how they rejected this

wait why do they reject people from art school. aren’t they there to teach you art??

the fact that you would need to teach yourself more or go to another place to learn more means they don't want to teach. i got into an atelier with much less. the whole point is to learn. ateliers are cheaper and better in my opinion. plus you can teach yourself, you are already REALLY good. i'm teaching myself animation because we cant afford an animator for our game. if i had the money i would hire you to animate our game. after looking at all your stuff in the video 1. you are already at a semi professional level. 2. you are very versatile (great for games and animation and working on many different projects, bad for recognition. this is the same problem i have) 3. you have a strong style and know what you do and don't like. these are all really good traits for a working artist, i'm not joking when i say if i had the means i would hire you, you're like the perfect candidate, someone that can grow and learn, is interested in many styles and multiple areas of media. good job, you are good enough without that school :) thank you for sharing your art

damn thats some strong whimsy. quite peculiar, truly. still, your art style feels like a fever dream, and that makes sense considering what your comics are about. im slogging through finishing my portfolio because i can never finish anything i start, but dangit i need to enter art school if i dont wanna spend my life mixing chemicals, so i wish the best luck i can wish you

The art in your comic is so much better looking then most anime trash on webtoon, honestly I liked it more before you added the color, but it's still nice.

So cute❤❤❤

I will read your WEBTOON!❤❤❤

I love your art, it's like no other 'art channel' I have seen before!
