as requested, I did a full CRITIQUE of this portfolio here! th-cam.com/video/UlL1rcXySM4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for giving a simple presentation of how a portfolio should look like and give the meaning behind it!
you should make a comparison of your old portfolio and your new portfolio, I think it would be very interesting to see and above all very inspirational 💖💖
Girl, you’re my inspiration. I got so much crap and discouragement from my professor this past semester in graphic design but watching your videos brings me back to life and ready to kick some 🍑
#stopthepeachabuse
pls be kind to peaches
My graphic design bachelor's degree was the biggest waste of time - the moment I got out and got some real life experience really brought to light the bias that professors have. Art is so incredibly subjective. Just keep doing you but don't be afraid to ask for criticism. :)
As I have been a graphic design/visual communications student for the past 5yrs (ive transferred colleges and lost credits so I'm behind a little) I have noticed every professor is different in their opinions and advice. The good professors tell you what you're doing right but also ways you can improve. Bad professors tend to tell you they don't like it but don't give you reasoning or advice on how to fix it. I suggest, if these are the professors you are encountering, to find other professors in the degree program and get their advice as well as advice from other students. Critiques are a very good thing and will help you grow so much as a designer. There's been multiple occasions where I have had the crappy professor who tell me I shouldn't do this but I should do this and I come back the next week with my project looking how I wanted it to and they agree that it looks so much better and don't realize that I completely ignored their suggestion. Sometimes you just have to go with what you feel is right and not what the professor has told you. Sorry I'm rambling on but I love giving people advice since I've been experiencing this for so long so my last comment will be the same as earlier; ask your peers their opinions as well, the more the better because the more opinions you get on your projects the more it will help you realize what is good and what needs to be changed. Good luck and don't give up! There's lots of good professors out there so I hope you have one next semester!
@not _Kieron no u r too young to understand what I said
Edit:woosh
I was expecting something like: "See these old drawings arent really that good right? If I could get hired with this portfolio you can too!" but damn... thousands of dreams crushed in under 5 minutes
True, it hurts
Don’t give up and I thought exactly like you and thought I would never get good but I’ve gotten so much better I’m still nowhere near what I want to be but I’ll get there
@@Scrubby.55 After I wrote that comment I gave up on my dreams and started to study to get an actual job. Sorry to disappoint you
Orangenboy sounds boring
@@O-Booooooooy if you really love it, art can still be a hobby. I'm just as passionate about it even though I seriously have no intention whatsoever on making it a major career goal.
Me: I can draw!
She: (shows portfolio)
Me:😧
She: ("...but it's old work, it's not really good...")
Me: ☠️
nougatbitz years of practice, if you want to have a heart attack look at my first character from 2008 compared to today how I draw him now lol my channel has my old animations from then!
I've had artist block for about 13 years. I stopped showing my portfolio because it's old work.
Saaaaaaame lol
Make sure you get a goo school and good teacher, expensive one. XD
Soooo turre
**looks at Lauras portfolio**
**looks back at my own work**
Oh boy I have a long way to go
Totally agree 😂😂
It be like that. But keep at it man. I believe in you.
SmexyRula same Laura is so fucking talented
At least you are looking forward to improve and you are not saying "Ok i'll stop drawing, she's too good bla bla bla"
@@SixShooter7 Right? Comments like those actually annoy me
My God, that's a gorgeous portfolio. And it highlights exactly where I'm lacking: creativity. I can draw, understand the fundamentals of lighting, composition, shapes, blablabla... and give good representations of existing things like animals, landscapes or furniture, but actually designing stuff in a personal style, or come up with varied character designs, nope. The moment I have to imagine something, I just can't. Maybe because I don't have an idea of what I want to design or my mind is too chaotic to focus on something in particular, or maybe having grown up with so many cartoons and visual influences I feel like half of what I come up with rips someone off, no idea, but it just doesn't work for me for some reason. Any tips to clear my mind or get myself in the right mindset would be helpful if someone has any ideas?
The easiest way for me to get past creative block is taking any idea i and building on it. Just looking at something, like an apple or a window and creating a story around it. Even if you tell yourself that the ideas you have aren't good, they are still something and building off something and revising it is a lot easier than coming up with something from scratch. Just take the first thing you see, and start making the story.
I'm experiencing the same. And i realized that I would be more effective as a teacher rather than a designer. I saw myself mentoring rather than implementing the design. You should still try practicing your personal style, but remember that you still have other options where you're going to be really good at.
Take a rest bud. And i mean a long vacation. It helped me with my thesis when i failed the 1st time. The 2nd try, i was more focused, motivated and by the grace of God, my work was so much better than the last failure. Everyone saw the improvement of my work.
I feel the exact same way.
Have you ever heard of Aphantasia? :) Its a very interesting condition that some artists have
I just graduated in the spring in graphic design and I’ve been struggling to even get an interview let alone a job. I’m losing faith but seeing someone successful in a creative position gives me hope. I love your work and this portfolio video helps me a lot. Thank you!!
GeelyM 35 I’m in no way affiliated with this TH-cam channel, but as a fellow graphic designer you should check out the TH-cam channel called The Futur. They discuss the business side of being a creative professional as well as how to succeed as a designer. Hope this helps. Good luck on your creative journey.
GeelyM 35 some people get jobs right away and for others it takes months but it happens! I studied illustration and it took 6 months for me to get a job, doesn’t mean it will take that long for you but some things take time. Don’t give up! 😊
Elizabeth M thank you!! I don’t wanna give up yet!! 😭
Anthony I will check out!! Thanks
ice sicle I care if I am making money because I need to pay off my student loan and afford to live on my own. That’s not being greedy lol
Yay as someone who hopes to be in animation down the road these types of things are soooooo helpful
Same I love animation
@@xboxswitch9457 don't be so rude
@@xboxswitch9457 lmaoooooooo why tf u so salty
Hey did you get into it?
Me: I can draw decently!
Her: I'm about to end this woman's whole career
Woweee girl obsessed!😍 you are so talented!🔥
Oh, I loved it.
It would be interesting the last part you said, if you showed us like a "feedback" of the portfolio, what you think that needs improvement, what you would change of it now based on the experience you have, etc.
(Btw I'm glad I found this channel, I really want to learn as much as I can from you, and I'm sorry if I didn't makes myself clear, I don't really speak English)
Vianney OteroG I second this!!!
Me too! we can learn from critiquing our old work!
Nice portfolio!
Wonderful portfolio! I love your art so much,and you are one of my greatests inspirations and one of my favorite artists.A few months ago i was not making any art,so i start to watch your videos,i back to my drawings and i'm trying to improve. Keep making this amazing work 💕
Wow! Fantastic! Everything is extremely well done and creative ! I love everything about every page.
Aaahh so inspiring! Thank you for sharing! Good luck for your job, Girl!
So I love your channel so much!! I’m a senior in high school and I’m taking some animation classes, so seeing you in the actual animation field is getting me so excited. For a while I was starting to lose hope/motivation that I’d ever be able to be good, but seeing someone in the actual field doing what I want to do made me so happy!! I love your work so much!! You are such an inspiration to me so thanks for being you I guess lol ❤️
Amazing work!
I'm happy for you, you're really great at drawing! I know most youtuber artists don't look believable when they share art tips but you, your drawings are executed well. Good luck with your endeavors!
This was awesome to watch! I'm studying Graphic Design rn, and honestly sometimes it feels like I'm wasting my time. It's always nice to here/see people making a living in the art field.
i love love love your designs! They've got that cosy pixar feel 😊the concept of the car with the 'aquarium' inside is so fun!
Thank you so much LuLu!!! I am a freshman animation student but had no idea how to set up my portfolio this video was very helpful!!!
I looked at that last page of your sketches and thought to myself, I can do this. I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but in one of your other videos you said that the best way to get better is to just keep on trying. Thank you 😁
Your channel popped up as a recommendation from youtube and I'm so glad I clicked through. Your portfolio is absolutely breathtaking, the colours in every composition are just so beautiful. Wow!
I REALLY love your style!!
I love your artworks! You're so inspiring since my dream is to become an animator. Great videos!💙💙💙
So glad they hired you. Your artwork is so INCREDIBLE!
You’re beyond talented, and such an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.
1) Amazing artwork, you are definitely an inspiration.
2) chocolate ice cream.
Your vídeos are amazing! So inspiring! And I was thinking like... OMG, if she did it, maybe I could do it as well... then you show your OLD portfolio and O am like... “well, never mind” 😅
Wow this is amazing! Your personal projects look so intriguing, and the layout of the portfolio is so clean. Very beautiful art thank you so much for sharing, this is really inspirational.
I admire anyone who can turn their passion into their job. I just got back into drawing not too long ago, and thanks to TH-cam I can have so many inspirations and teachers I didn't have back then.
This is extremely beautiful, I ‘m so shocked ... thank you so much !!
wow!! these are amazing!!!!
Looking at your portfolio is really inspiring!!!
Your portfolio layout is really nice and really helpful to see. I think you had a great balance between filling most pages with sketches but not crowding the page. You utilized the space well and this is something I've been struggling a lot with, so I'm glad to be able to see yours. I was wondering if you would be willing to make a tumblr or instagram post with still images of each page layout?
*My portfolio case + inserts:*

• Pina Zangaro Flex-hinge Poly Refills 11x14 Landscape
• My art is on 11x14 glossy photo paper, printed on my Epson Stylus Photo R2000
• I DON'T recommend buying yourself a portfolio case, everything is done digitally nowadays.
please understand, that you are scaring the fuck out of that dog. It is literally terrorised.
You're an angel
@@guimoyna she is terrorising that dog and thinking its good for the dog. I am not accusing her of mal treatment, its obvious that she does not realise that. and I think its important to bring it to her notice. Not the opposite.
@@curtleyambrose100 dude chill. I have had dogs since I was a kid. I've seen how they act under stress or fear (of fireworks or when they think you're in danger) and it's nothing like that. This one is perhaps mildly annoyed. Anyway, I was commenting on her giving links for the porfolio case, not your warning. I just disagreed with the dislike.
Really love your style, unique and original to you I can tell. I work for a small software/gaming startup here in Raleigh, NC as a Executive Assistant/Graphic Designer/IT/Order Lunch for the office guy....LOL., but I studied Graphic Design here at Living Arts College back in '98. Keep up the good work and giving me my art fix.
Your work is so amazing!
Wow! It looks amazing !!!
Oh my gosh that's incredible! I could never draw like that 😲
video idea : how to make a art portfolio website
Yay you did a portfolio video! I love your work, your such an inspiration.
You are so gifted , disciplined and inspiring 😍
Keren kamu mbak Lulu, kamu memang menginspirasi.. cheer 😃👍
Yeag
It all looks amazing so when you say you can see flaws I'm like "oh... I need to improve" 😂
@Brian Storrs No sorry, I've never played any of the games.
Congrats on 50k lulu!
Thank you for showing us your portfolio! Now I have an idea of what I need to put in mine when I want to apply somewhere! Your the best are your art is amazing!
Oh God this acctually got me *INSPIRED* !! :D
My biggest dream is to work at Disney or Pixar somedaayyy!!!
And you're my biggest inspiratiooon!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
0:15 Woa that sudden dopamine burst
This was an extremely helpful & inspiring video, I love seeing your funky character sketches!
thanks a lot for sharing your old portfolio its help a lot !
I look up to you! 💕😊
Please consider reviewing the mistakes you find in your portfolio, and maybe also you could remake it to show us how you'd improve them.
These are gorgeous!
Your portfolio is so beautiful! I want to get as good as that and better!
no one:
me: "it's okay, i still have 9 years... right?" *sobs*
I love how David Dobrik-y the title and thumbnail are. Lol
HIGH PRAISE
Sooo talented!!
I can see the years of work and practice in these. Just amazing!
Your videos are so helpful, thanks so much! I was curious to ask you.. given your experience after these years in the field, what would you change about your old portfolio to technically submit it today? :)
Hey Laura! I just wanna say that you are one of the best youtubers in all TH-cam, I love your videos and I want to work in animation to,lm love youuu from Bogotá, Colombia
thank you so much!!
this is so inspiring as someone just starting to create illustrations/vis dev and to get into animation!!
Creative, Original, and expressive. I love looking at your work snd strive for the same quality, keep it up!
i think we all agree that this girl has a really GORGEOUS SMILE. her teeth are killin me
she is super cute
Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe I just found your channel. I mean, my history as an artist is super similar to yours. Oddly enough, my first drawing I truly liked (and still like) is from Zelda. Anyway, I’m halfway through my university years and am currently looking forward to an internship. Also, I’m thinking of opening an instagram account to share the art I’ve done; if I ever do open it, hope you can see my art and tell me what you think.
Greetings from Mexico.
And Merry Christmas! :)
Oh my gosh your artwork is AMAAAAAAZIIING!
This is great! I needed to see something like this to keep me going.
Your works are pretty.
It is no wonder you got hired by them.
Is this work you created for assignments in college, or did you come up with the project ideas on your own and do them in your free time post-college? You are very talented and such an inspiration!
Dope work! I like your story about how you got into animation.
Your artwork is incredible and you should be very proud! I can't even draw a stick figure but I can appreciate that talent in others. Keep up the good work and know that even in our darkest days, we still have light within to carry us through!
You applied with character designs for an animation job, is that correct?
Was all your art done digitally or on paper? I am new to your channel and new to digital art.
I absolutely love your videos! I am currently working on building up my portfolio for when I graduate college next year! so this was very helpful, and gave me some encouragement to seek some new art styles! Thanks a lot!
Wow, your portfolio is so good, creativity overload
Is there anyone like me........WHO CANNOT PICK AN ICE CREAM FLAVOUR!!!???
I have a question. I did my bachelor in 2D animation in Switzerland, but since a year I couldn't find a job. Is it now too late to get hired because of the huge year gap?
If u have a really good portfolio, then no.
You are really good!! Character design on point
I really loved looking at the portfolio work ! Thank you for sharing these!
This is great! I just graduated with a degree in graphic design on the 8th! My Big Senior Art Class™ really put a heavy emphasis on the "physical portfolio". (We barely even talked about digital!) Is it considered standard to use an iPad or other tablet for portfolios nowadays?
Kinzichi thank you!! that’s awesome, congratulations! aha I always HEARD i would need a physical portfolio and I was told to bring one once (for the nick artist program interviews way back when) but then I saw other people interviewing who had ipads!! I was like ....that was an option?! and this was 4 years ago when I interviewed for that, so nowadays all digital just seems standard! when I did an informal interview at disney they just asked for a url for my artwork and I gave them my website and they looked at the portfolio on a computer!
@@lulusketches That's awesome! My portfolio's kinda chunky so it'll be great to not have to lug it around everywhere haha! And thank you!
Yeah, I figured. We figured out all of our printing and what to bring/how to present in my portfolio class, but the classes really didn't talk about digital. I'm glad to know that it's appropriate in a professional setting to show my portfolio on my ipad!
When you say "painted" do you mean photoshop painted or literally acrylic painting?
I was wondering this same thing as well
Most definitely digital. If shes in animation, it wouldnt be traditional because most western studios are moving away from traditional and focusing on digital
this is so inspiring! i have yet to make myself a portfolio because i don’t know what to make for it. thank u for this video, it’s very informative and helpful!
I loved it!😍 Make a video showing your old work please!
Cookies and Cream, or Peanutbutter cups
two of my favs!
That is some absolutely gorgeous artwork!
It’s a beautiful portfolio! Well done
Awsome! I'm excited that they hired you!
This is so lovely! Even your old work looks great. I would also love to see what you current portfolio would look like if you have one.
Such an amazing portofolio 💕
Really love seeing this 💕
That was so important for me😍 almost every big artist i like shows like the very early stuff or the late stuff but not the stuff that got you the job. Its very hard for me as an illustrator to think of how a good portfolio should look like fir animation industry jobs:) thx lulu and have good holidays and a nice familiar christmas time😊
That is so beautiful, you're incredible!
Great job, Laura! Makes me wanna do some gesture sketches of scenes and environments.
This is cool of you to share. It gives me a good idea of what to aim for.
Your work are so amazing😍
Love it! Your art is so beautiful and inspiring :)
WOW girl, Im happy I stumbled upon your channel, I love animation and you are so talented and inspiring, actually what I needed to see today, great job!!!
I absolutely love your art and videos; AMAZING!
Thanks for posting, Laura! You're very talented, love your work!! You have my dream job. I was born and raised in Anaheim, a few blocks from Disneyland and was a ferocious sketcher and painter, as a little kid and always dreamed of working for Disney, as an artist, and playing for the Los Angeles Rams, on the weekends. Ah, childhood! I transitioned to fine arts oil painting but still love Disney art.
Hey! Each of the work is unique. I especially love how you do the environment designs. You're pretty skilled to do that. Congratulations on your new job! From this video of yours I've got some ideas on how to organise my portfolio. Thank you for sharing
