So got it kids? aways have some nicely drawn fruits with sketchy lines on it, and some nice curtain models
Ohh
Fruit rules all. Fruit is the overlord. You cannot run from the fruits

ARIGATO, SENSEI
Ahh makes sense
*always
When you use fruits to cover up the body instead of curtains.

Now that's the package right there
Elizabeth Sans lol
Elizabeth Sans the professional people looking at your work would be shook
The art teachers are shaking.
me: *has art block*
lavendertowne: *uploads a video about how to get rid of art block on the same day*
me: *worries about making a portfolio for art school*
lavendertowne: *uploads a portfolio tutorial on the same day*
thank you sm oh my godd😭
lol
VERY SAME HERE HONESTLY
Same, I feel blessed
the cubone's?
Peppermint Sea OMG IKR??
Btw guys ALWAYS look at the portfolio guidelines for EACH school you plan on attending. A lot of art schools portfolio requirements are similar but some tend to be more lenient or more strict with their guidelines. Great video btw, gave me some inspiration to being mine :)
*begin
I agree as well. Some schools are looking for more specific things and I think most people don’t realize that.
Gillette Wow I’d like to add onto your point. I had to do an assignment about high school pathways. I chose two universities with art programs. One wasn’t that specific, but the other was *very* specific and needed a lot of things for you to get in.
Omg hi!! Luv ur vids uwu
I’m waiting for my new Tablet to arrive in the mail to start doing my Portfolio!
How do you find the guidelines? I want to get into a high school that I’ve heard has a good art program but I’ve heard you need a portfolio. I can’t find the guidelines though and I’m honestly too nervous to ask my teacher
This is kinda funny because I just got a pamphlet about an art school That I wanted to go to today (this is perfect)
Good luck getting in! I wish you the best of luck with art schools.
Thunder,Tommy, Bird,Dog
Destinyyy
ooh, which one?
I've never been in one 😢
did u get in? :D
"Draw the art that you're the most passionate about"
Me: *Draws sonic fanart*
That's no good.
It is good, I don't see a problem with drawing Sonic fanart
r.e.m.i it’s actually a reference to a Sonic episode called “Sonic Sayz” In the episode Sonic says “that’s No gooood.”
Me: draws zelda fanart
“ me draws splatoon anime art”
Working on my portfolio right now,
*Video pops up*
Can a timing be any more perfect
Blurryink good luck!!
Good luck ^^;
one time i finished my work the exact f*cking time the bell rang
Blurryink The same thing happened to me 😂
• CubCake • it went well, super stressful but I got in to the program 😁
That girl with the octopus looks super rad!
that’s a boy

Just submitted my portfolio to a university a few days ago! :D It had some traditional pieces (graphite and color pencil of representational pieces), a short animatic, a short animation, and the rest digital paintings.
Did you get accepted :O?
@@fo0lyc0oly26 I did! but that school was literally more expensive than Juliard for no good reason. Leaving to finish somewhere affordable, or to do my own thing :)
@@ritz_ok well it’s cool you got in,hope you’re doing well now
@@ritz_ok What school was it, if you dont mind sharing?
Okay guys already remember
Breath And Concentration, (especially if you're in AP art right now)
All of your sketches and things, bump that up. So your 2 point perspective, turn it into 3 point. Your body studies, make them pop off the page, try to make it come off the page a bit, make the people really think about it. Also study, study STUDY, everything around you draw it in odd positions and angles, do some dope stuff with it.
Don't be afraid to do cartoonish stuff. Just make sure it's complex and shows technique. Show you know your shit.
You can do it!!!
Also look at other people's portfolios, ap submitions, and Scholastic Art Award winners
I KNOW MY SHIT *WOOF* *JUMPS OFF WINDOW*
BREADTH AND CONCENTRATION AAGHDGFJSGHD im just a month into my school year and i already HATE every breath piece ive been forced to draw i just want to do my concentration :( i guess its ok for showing my technical skill tho i just dont like it
Checked other people's portfolios and I have to say I've seen crappy (no offense) portfolios that have a high score and other really good ones that have a low score. Oh boy does it bring my confidence down. Guess it's really in the way you see art.
110% agree dude
Lavander: I made this when I was 15 in preparation for art school
Me: *sweats nervously* oh boy
EDIT: Wow. Four years ago, huh? It's really freaking wild how much things will change. I'm in uni right now. Not an art school, but it does have an animation course! Which I'm in right now!!! Basically: Y'all, it's possible. Just don't lose faith in yourself and continue to draw and practice. It's possible :,3
Oh boy exactly what I was thinking... I am on my senior year and is starting art right now in digital art class. I don't know if I will have enough pieces before applications
@@brianz5011 right??? I'm a 16-year-old sophomore (who's going to be a junior in the fall) and I'm so interested in pursuing a career in art. However my technical skill is no where near what it should be. And I'm so nervous that I might not make it into art school. It terrified me, because art is the only thing I can see myself being passionate in.
*is 16* OH NO
Is 17... pain
@@Slow_Internet same. I'm worried my art isn't the greatest, but this is the only talent I have. Plus I am so late at making this portfolio. I'm already a senior, I'm about to graduate in three months, and here I am worried my art is not gonna get me approved.
Technically under youtube guidelines you can show nudity if it it's art or educational. Though with the AI as buggy as it is I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry.
I don't think AI plays a part in identifying that kind of content on youtube. It's probably more based on user reports.
I love your profile pic uraraka uwu
I was blown away when I realized I had been following you on deviantart for like 6 years??? Saw your characters from Coleslaw and I had flashbacks to finding your art a while ago. I accidentally stumbled upon your channel here. Pretty small world lol
My style changes weekly...
Erika Hi same ;-;
Welp same
Same...
Same but daily
mine changes by the minute smh
PROFESSIONALISM: *Has a pentagram on hat* Ah, I see, so I should summon Satan if I was to get accepted.
...tecgnically, a pentagram points downwards, this is a pentacle, which us used to protect against negative energy.
That’s a star, not a pentagram (she just didn’t erase the lines inside it). But yeah, it looks a little like one lol.
@@mikethegoo Actually, both a pentacle and a pentagram can face upwards or downwards. This is actually a pentagram, pentacles have a circle around them. If they're facing upwards, it protects you but if they're upside down then they're the Satanist occult stuff
Thank you so much for making this video! QwQ
JosiThePotato hi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thank you!! I’m actually planning on transferring to a college with a really good art program and I didn’t know much about making a portfolio, I plan on being a manga/comic book artist this is to Lavendertowne btw 😅
pichufan101 oof
Oh!!!I like your videos!!! :D
pichufan101 you do know lavendertowne already graduated from art school and also has a comic right?
Funny thing is... I never went to an art class and I'm applying for art school in a few weeks. *TRIES SKETCHING REALISTIC CURTAIN NUDISTS ANYWAY*
how has that gone for you if you don’t mind me asking?
Silv right like we need a follow up! How did it go?
Give the people what they want! Did you get in? (If you want to tell us ofc)
Did it go fine?
I hope it did...
HEY ARE YOU ALIVE
there needs to be a name for lavendertowne fans.
Edit: My favorite one is Lavendulas!
Green Bean Yes! Let's think of one......
LAVENDER VILLAGERS!
Green Bean we are lavendertownies
What about Lavendulas?(scientific name of lavender( but plural ))
Townies? Idk, it's just simple and kinda cute
I'd like to add, it's VERY HELPFUL to leave a portfolio site background completely white, so when people look at it, the color Of the background doesn't fight with the colors in your piece, which believe it or not could really clash or mess up the way the colors work in your piece.
This is actually the best portfolio video Ive seen so far tbh. No video on portfolio Ive actually have seen have been this clear, its always been kinda muddy with how to do it.
"what makes you most happy when you're drawing"
me: okay so here's this art... i'm really proud of it... it's naruto x sasuke fanart and it's really kinky, i like it a lot...
LMAOO
AAHAHAHHAHAHAJXHKWBDHEJWJSJDA
Idk if you'll get in but we can always HOPE
HAHAH SAME with Gon x Killua hahaha
Me with my Kirishima x Bakugou:
omg this video is going to save my ass, im trying to apply to art schools next year
So how'd that work out?
how did it go? lol
me too!

may your days remain ever prosperous
I have a question. What is the logic behind having to prove that you know how to draw in order to get into a career that teaches you how to draw? You aren't expected to know how to program before getting into computer science, neither is anyone expected to know the law before studying to become a lawyer. Like, what are you taught in art school that you aren't already (seemingly) expected to already know before you even apply? What's the line? Will you be accepted if you can draw really well but suck at coloring? Or if your perspective sucks? What if you can do hands really well but can't-do faces? It all seems so incredibly arbitrary and random. If I want to become a doctor I go to school to learn whatever is required, but if I want to become an artist and I hadn't been interested in it since my childhood I'm pretty much fucked. Seems so weird to me.
Pythagoras Mom well for medicine and computer science, pretty much everyone I know has taken computer science classes in high school or taken biology/anatomy classes and done research for medicine. It's the same for art and a lot of other competitive majors
I had absolutely 0 programming experience before getting into CS, but I do see your point. I guess it's weird since almost no school teaches art in any decent way. If you want to study art, you have to had made that decision well before college age, I just think that sucks. If you want to study astrophysics your curriculum starts with calculus I and physics I, you have to know very basic things to get going, but with art school I feel like they ask so much more of you to get started.
Pythagoras Mom yeah that's true. But if you're really talented, there's still a chance to improve your art skills enough for art school in just high school
i think it just depends on the school tbh, some are for beginners, some are more advanced. it's like that with a lot of professional schools tbh, if you're majoring in biology, they probably expect you to know the basics that you learned in highschool and all. colleges of any sorts look at your gpa and such for the same reason. art is just more difficult because unlike other fields, it takes a very long time to master. you could probably study medicine for a year starting with 0 experience and learn quite a bit, but i've been drawing for nearly five years and i definitely still need to improve quite a bit.
Don't take me too seriously, but I think it depends on the school. If your going into as much of an extream enviorment at Lavendertowne then they want most of the students on the same page. Where as other schools that are less cutthroat and/or art based, the need to be on other's levels is less. Maybe, this is just theory.
this is super useful rn
Her: make sure to add in a lot of sketchy lines around the fruit...
Me: yes...yes... (writes it down)
I watch to the patreon part just to hear LavenderTowne say "Lebluhbluhbluh" xD
your art is absolute beauty...you never try to follow the crowd or "perfect" your art the not straight lines actually gives it more personality love you Lavender Towne 😄
I was so happy to see this video, because:
1. It's a LavenderTowne video, which of course makes me happy on it's own
2. I'd love to go to art school one day (even though I'm only 13 but WHATEverr.)
3. Your videos give me hope that someday I'll be able to work as an artist :3
So..Thank you

There is a thing called _art_ _highschool_
@@danimato1833 welp now imma go research that now. Thanks and have a great day!
You're probs 16 now but there's art high school!!!
@@mizumochidonuts8194 where's in here? tell meh..TELL MEEEEH(or link an art school for kids or smthn)
"draw what you're most passionate about"
Me: loves drawing anime
Me: *remembers how much art schools hate anime*
Me: ...
What if it was a Japanese college
LavenderTowne can you do a video talking about how to design strong, powerful and warrior like characters
BaeBlade make them strong, powerful, and make them warriors.
I'll leave.
(Just try not making it overpowered. Say a trait is adventurous, maybe they can also be curious and that could get them into trouble. Yet it'd make for a good story or drawing.
but lavendertowne never draws strong powerful warriors?
This is a weird request to see here, since I honestly don't think she is used to drawn "strong powerful warriors", since her style goes more for the cute and cartoony side, well, at least by what she shows on her channel.
I know, but another reason I wanted her to do this is because she has quite a unique cartoony style and seeing a strong armored character would be quite cool and interesting
BaeBlade Villagers!!!
Is “fruit nonsense” a technical term?
Yes
Emma Brook indeed
Absolutely
Yes
With the amount of still life pics that involve fruit, I say it should be. XD
Another really important thing to include in a portfolio for art school is to have variety. Don't stick to one medium, subject matter throughout the entire thing. it also depends what program you are going into. I'm first year Illustration and in my portfolio i included some perspective drawing, life drawing, anatomy studies, and my own work. You can include anime work but try to keep it limited because a lot of people who interview you for the portfolio don't want to see that. If you include anime/cartoon drawings make sure you include drawings that also show that you understand human anatomy. Many places will also ask for a sketchbook and it's super important at least from experience. If you have to include one, make sure to do a lot of studies, experimentation with styles and mediums, and process work. lots of process work. if you have process work for your portfolio pieces that's also good to put in there. Good luck to everyone applying to school soon!
Aw man! I wish I could go to art school....oh well, SELF-TAUGHT HERE I COME-
I taught myself (minus the same book LavendarTowne learned from) everything I know and I don’t know how to draw curtain models-
I love how the first drawing looks like a female Wolverine but with pencil claws
How many drawings would you suggest putting in a portfolio?
Usually between 10 and 20!
LavenderTowne it kind of depends. Some art schools have an average of how many there should be. Just don’t add 200 when the recommended max amount is 20
@@gillettewow4667 so can you like do 50 just to be safe, and only send the max amount when required? like what if you want to send this to many schools i'm new to this
French Fry many schools will tell you how much they are looking for.
In my opinion, put in as much as you want in it, as long as they are your best pieces you can make, and show your skills as an artist, remember, you should not put in unfinished sketches.
You can also send them your sketchbooks too! Or a link that followed to a website filled with art! Which ever you prefer. I recommend talking to your counselors for more advice, I’m still in middle school so I don’t know a lot, but I am applying to an art highschool, so I’ve learned a bit.
I don’t really know much about sending different stuff to different schools, I’d recommend just sending a variety or pieces to each school, for example, you send all schools 3 different types of still life drawings, each showing your shading techniques and how you’re able to make composition, etc.
Like i said, talk to your counselors and the counselors over there!
@@gillettewow4667 oh thanks!

Frostywhisker I-I have no idea
Need advice: I’m a high school freshman who plans to go to an art school someday. Should I start to make a portfolio now? Or at least something similar?
I'm in first year junior high and I still haven't done a portfolio at all yet (although planning to). Maybe at this time you could just start of experimenting with styles and mediums as well as practicing quite alot. I'm actually planning to start doing watercolor and oil painting along with my digital art and sketches (once this pandemic is over and I can get supplies that is)! Practice alot, learn new things, enhance your skills (anatomy, color theory, etc.) you might find something you like and in turn can put that in your future portfolio. By 10th grade to senior high you could start planning it out and whatnot (it's what most people from my school going to art school did)! Hope this helps!
As a highschool senior who’s going to apply to a school that requires a portfolio, START. You have all the time right now to experiment and take all the art classes that you can. You might not include your freshman works in your portfolio but you could use those for inspiration. Your highschool years are really important so make it count and don’t do the mistake that I did, start creating for my portfolio just a few months ago 😂 good luck
As a Senior who got accepted into an art school, I agree with experimenting. You have time to prepare the skills you want to show off. The requirements of the portfolio can be different depending on where you apply. The school I was accepted into recommended including only drawings I had done in the last year, so just keep up the practice and I'm sure you'll eventually get into an art school.
I say go for it I’m currently a sophomore and planning on trying to start mine it always helps to start early and practice as much as possible
Aaahh how the fuck do I show a voice or a skill!
Yes!!! I was looking forward to finally seeing your Portfolio!
I draw furry art xD rip chances for putting in that for passion art. Imagine having fruit nonsense and then bam giant fluffy red panda
Just make sure there’s no people who’ll bully you for furry art. I don’t like nor hate furries but some people bully for it. Be careful!
Maybe in a portfolio, add how you understand animals, draw them in a perspective, for passion, I say go for it.
Kung Fu Panda, Zootopia, kids shows, there’s plenty of opportunity for artists that like drawing anthropomorphised animals
my class had to go to lecture abt buliding a collage portfolio the other day but they only talked abt being a doctor or engineer but I WANT TO STUDY ART this rlly helped :,3
snØw bØi DUDE MY HIGHSCHOOL ALSO WENT TO A COLLEGE LECTURE ABOUT ATTENDING THEIR SCHOOL AND PORTFOLIOS, AND THEY DIDN'T MENTION ART EITHER.
*IS THIS A COINCIDENCE???*
Yeah art isn’t a hugely talked about career in school. I also want to be a princess and that’s not very talked about either. The struggle has never been realer :(
I THINK NOT LETS START A RIOT
i probably saw this ages ago but thank god i found it again now that i need to make a portfolio😭
I've been really anxious about it i've had no idea what art teacher standards were so i felt a lot limited when it came to art style, level of realism and so on
I've been tunnel visioning on my portfolio for a long time now so it only made it worse but it feels good to see someone so chill about it i hope everythings goes fine
thanks again i really needed this even 2 years after the video's published
Me:AAA YES I'LL USE THESE TIPS !!!!
Also Me: wait...i'm in middle school
me atm
It’s good to plan ahead.
Helpless Waiter Same lol
@@x3no841 I'm about to go to Jr year- holy- time really does fly by!
wow, hope you pass!
Any advice for animal artists like me? I'm terrible at humans and I tend to stick to animals and original species.
Thank you for making this video! It was super helpful!
Talmorne
Try and learn simple/cartoon anatomy before diving into hyper realism, and make sure you do clear guidelines! I used to be terrible at anatomy (still am, honestly) but was good at animals/anthro stuff, but I got into cartoony stuff before realism and that really helped!
Look at salem shanouha channel so many videos about drawing the human head and figure and proko channel is also great
Good luck
I have the exact opposite problem 😅
I probably don't know what i'm talking about but I think you should improve your human anatomy while also showing what you love and are good at.
OMG yes, all that fruit nonsense. I honestly think that's what saved my portfolio when submitting it. I was so worried I didn't have enough nice pieces, so I just threw in a bunch of still life and figure drawings. They'll eat it right up!! Wish I could've watched this last year, would have made it less stressful but that's okay XD. Thank you LavenderTowne! :D
As an artist just who started "recently" (3 years is nothing compared to some others) your videos have helped me so much! I'm so glad I found your channel, you've gotten me through tons of art blocks!
Yes! Im young but my dream is to be a childrens film/book animator or illustrator
Wish me luck!
Good luck
Same gurl
Two years late but whatever
Ooo this will defo help me out

Congrats (a bit late) how is it?
Thank the heavens for you! I've been dying to know how to make one of these for high school! Thank you ^J^
LAVENDER YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO POST WHEN WE'RE IN SCHOOL
moonbug erftty
YYYYEEEEEEEAAAA BOYYYYY I HAVE PORTFOLIO DAY TOMORROW THANK U FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS I NEEDED THISSSSIS
Im 16 and my portfolio was approved which im so happy about and I got accepted 🥳 I was rlly curious about lavandertowns advice tho and I'm glad I watched. I'm not a professional so don't listen to me but I think smth that rlly helped me was putting a variety of things like perspective, character design and etc... mine was very polished cuz I had an art teacher help me make it on photoshop and everything but yeah make it look clean and show every type of thing you make!
Currently 1am. Got interview for course at 3pm. Making this now. WISH ME LUCK LMAO 💀💀😭😭🙏🙏
As someone who is going to go to art school in 3 years to be an art teacher, this is sooooo helpful oml. I literally had no idea how to do anything for this, so thank you
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YESSSSSS❤️❤️
*insert Edgy/emo band names here* * your profile picture 😂
I'm almost 13 and I'm so worried about my future portfolio ;-;
Bruh I am a senior in highschool and haven’t made one you got time
dw ab it, i thought i would go to art school and stressed so hard ab it, but ended up going to school for business (to be a dog trainer) so dont worry. at 13 you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do, and how to execute what you need to do.
same same, we are all learning at our own pace, also its been 2 years how u doing?
@@chilledsun1987 hey how’d your portfolio go did you get into a school? I’m curious cuz I’m in your situation now
I SURE HOPE THAT I REMEMBER THIS IN SOME TIME
Even if it's incomplete, it's super cool to see some of the portfolio pieces you used to get into art school! I'd definitely love to see more of your pieces from the other portfolio you mentioned. I'm working on my portfolio for school right now and seeing your work is both incredibly helpful and inspirational!
Hey LavenderTowne,
I'm trying to get into an art school next year and I have a pretty well thought out portfolio, unfortunately my art tutor wanted me, well to be more literal, forced me to do this online class to be more attractive at my portfolio review. Am I wrong for not wanting to do the class because I've already made some strides towards attractiveness to art schools?
Just do it, if it doesn't wear you out, why not?
Thanks man
It's in a field that I know very little about and have very little interest in!!! I'm an animation major and this is for design art
To be fair, different types of art can be complementary to each other. I am a graphic design major, and I've taken a couple classes in animation and photography that turned me on to new ideas and ways of doing things. If you do the online class, it will likely help in its own way. If anything, you'll have more skills than the typical animator, and that will always make you a more competitive candidate. It's ultimately up to you, but try to keep an open mind.
Fine
Thank you so much! My art teacher is writing a letter of recommendation to a magnet school centered around art and Theatre. I'm required to bring a sketchbook and a portfolio.
Thanks for the Video, it's very informative!
If i'm allowed to add a bit of advice as well, to anyone who is making a website:
Your Portfolio and Home page should not be the same thing.
A home page is a great place to show off your personality! and/or other qualities that make you = you, in a positive way.
I find that a big splash screen with some text about yourself or a general greeting to the visitor, you could also show your latest project(that's a good way to show that you "update" the site regularly), or otherwise direct the traffic that your site receives!
Also don't put pure anime style, most art teachers hate anime
Gierom guy_does_nothing_productive They don't hate anime, they want you to study the fundamentals.
Well... That's not entirely true. Some teachers really do hate anime. Some just think it's not helpful for your career. Some want you to study completely other things. The others don't mind as long as you don't ONLY draw anime.
pinkishtoast Some do hate it though, many artists on TH-cam have talked about it (not all obviously but some do).
which sucks! why should a teacher's personal bias prevent you from getting an education?
weeby weeb Cartoons in general do that. Yet I’ve never once heard about a teacher’s bias towards a cartoon. Just anime, it’s ridiculous.
I clicked on that notification soo fast
I just finished four years of graphic design and a two-year scientific illustration program and I have to get my portfolio up on my website! I love your videos and style and these tips are super helpful for me! So a big thank you for all the fantastic tips!!
what do i do if im only passionate about dumb anime charas please help
edit: sjsfdhb this was meant to be a dumb joke, i practice realism AND anime waifus so its all good
gnixxy same
gnixxy can relate
1. practice semi realism/Western cartooning
2. Derp around with different features of said anime characters
3. ????
Ok... so if have any talent with realism, just draw an anime character but have it be realistic instead of cartoony or in an anime style.
gnixxy then you probably don't want to go to art school. As far as I can tell art schools like to focus on realism
When you wanna be in art school but
Your like 2
Same though
Now to make my mum let me go to art school...
This is the first sponsored vid I've seen that's actually helped me! Thank you so much
I’m only 14 and I’m already stressing about this 🤦♀️ I mean I kindve think it’s good I’m preparing myself early on than leaving it till last minute🤷♀️
Oh my GOODNESS THANK YOU. I'm applying to an art school in a few months and I haven't even started assembling my portfolio so I was starting to panic, but your vid helped me a lot! So I'm gonna go, and start it right now! :D
How did it go?
@@pianomanwithapianoplan504 I literally didn't even remember this so I had to re-watch the video xD But thanks for asking, I was rejected from that school, applied to another one a few months later and got rejected again, then took a year "off" by working in retail while doing a course where the teacher (who graduated at that university and is teaching in another one) helped me assemble a portfolio that was accepted for that "second" school. I tried applying to that "first" university this spring, but got rejected again. I'm actually finishing the current school this summer and I'll do freelance work until I try applying for that first uni next spring again.
TL;DR : I got rejected a bunch of times, I recommend getting help from experienced people from the field and trying to get to know people teaching/learning in the school you're going for. This video was also helpful of course! (By the way I'm applying for animation so it's kinda different.) All in all, never give up, and keep in mind that art as a career is an unconventional path and it may take a lot more time and effort. ^^
I forgot she said “curtain models” and was like, sheet ladies?
this is on my top ten most interesting, fun, and helpful, videos EVER
Welp, may as well get ready for art school 6 years early lmao 😂
Man this video is old but im getting into an important art highschool and I need this
I'm pretty worried and I remembered this so, thank you lavendertowne
this will be helpful as I've started my gcse's this year :p
The PsychopathicGamer Good luck! I'm in year8 and my teachers are talking about options already! :/ Guessing that you're doing art? Like I said, good luck with revision and the exams themselves!
I just started my gcses too! I'm in year 9 and i chose art.
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm still a kid, but I constantly stress over how I'm going to get into art school, and now I can be at ease. Again, thank you!
For a video, you should draw your style on paper and color it.
I'm so glad you made this video, I'm looking to go to school for animation and I'm so lost in the whole process and this just shed a light that I really needed. Thank you so much!

Well, now I have absolutely no worries about getting into an art school with my portfolio. Best confidence boost seeing your old portfolio pieces and how you're grown.
INSTRUCTIONS UNCLEAR! I FAILED ART SCHOOL AND NOW HAVE STARTED A WAR AND GREW A RECTANGULAR MUSTACHE!
I would like to thank you for making this youtube video. I was applying for high schools a month or two ago and to get a better chance of getting into this high school, I had to make an online portfolio. I was so stumped because I was applying for the art major and my digital art was finally getting really good, but I didn't know how to make the darn portfolio. Then I saw this video and everything just started falling into place. I worked my butt off on that portfolio and I worked my butt off on that application in general(cuz I had to write an essay). No matter what happens, I will always be greatful to you for making these videos and inspiring me to work my butt off in everything I do(including art) so that I can be successful one day. I hope one day to be as successful and as inspirational as you have been inspiring me since sixth grade. Please continue the great work and I'll be sure to continue catching up on your fantastic comics.
O LORD IM EARLY AND THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS VIDEO HALPS ALOT
I could just kiss you for making this video. Here I was almost going out of my mind about how to go about making my portfolio and along comes Lavendertown with this video. I'm near actual tears of gratefulness. 😭😭😭
But what if im passionate about drawing colorful furry animals? I feel like that wouldnt help me get into the school.
YES! I've been waiting for you to show off your portfolio! ❤️
I`m in year 6 and when we graduate we can get scholarships for our high schools. I really want to get an art one!
I really appreciate these tips. There are programs at the schools I’m looking at that require a portfolio and this really helps a lot.
Is there a way for us to view the new portfolio you made?
Im 15 right now and I'm going to try and get into an art uni and was honestly kinda intimidated by the whole process of making a portfolio since I had no experience beforehand or knew and had many artists around me so this video really helped
Hey! I'm in LOVE with your art style and the shading is so SATISFYING!!!! And I want to get in to art school and right now I am in 5th grade and um i have a channle it shows some of my art and I would LOVE to have you kind of judge my art and its ok if you mention a few flaws but it would help me a LOT!!!! Thank you for reading this again I LOVE your art!!!!
you're the person that got me out of my 'I hate pink' phase, and I am forever graitfull
How many pieces of art should I put in a portfolio?
Btw I really love your videos
what? why? - Honestly, I'm going to give you the advice I found from a big animator and illustrator named Bobby Chiu. He's amazing, he really is, and he has so much content relating to the art industry on his channel (which is under his name).
What he said, and what I have found to be accurate, is to have no less than ten, and no more then twenty. Less, and it will look like you don't draw frequently enough. More, and it will look extremely chaotic.
Seriously though, go check out his channel. He's a very sweet man who cleared up so much of the mystery for me when going into the art industry. He already has so many art questions on his channel answered in full, and he even replies to comments on occasion.
S. Colins oh thanks I better remember that
what? why? - No problem. Happy to help.
In my case (AP Art) you're supposed to put in like around 24 artworks. Dunno about art schools though, I think it varies from school to school.
Yandere CheeseCake I'm really not sure what your teacher is thinking then. Very rarely have I heard of more then twenty pieces being a good idea in a portfolio for art college. Even less for a job. When you use your portfolio to show a studio or business what you do, you put in your absolute favorite, and best pieces. No more. If they want to see more of what you can do, they will contact you and ask you to show them more, no matter how it takes them. Art directors want your portfolio to get straight to the point of what you do. So I'm really not sure what to tell you about your teacher then.
Thanks so much! Im only 13 but im SUPER passionate about art! I draw EVERYDAY and love traditional art (i just started to experiment with it so im still not the best) you inspire me so much! And heres a video idea- how to take a reference and turn it into your style (sorry if youve done it before i just thought of it)
