    This sketchbook is absolutely gorgeous- and I wanted to ask- do you have any tips for applying to calarts/ tips for creating a good sketchbook? Thank you- and good luck!

    • @Meppity

      Snowy Thank you!! I‘m no expert on sketchbooks but after looking at a bunch of other calarts sketchbooks for the last four years, there’s some things that I feel need to be included:
      Literal stuff to include:
      - life drawing (nude and people in environments)
      - environment studies
      - animal studies
      - layouts/concepts
      - character exploration
      - movement studies
      Stuff you should demonstrate you can do:
      - draw characters that have a sense of movement/life
      - create and draw solid objects that work in a three dimensional space
      - understand perspective
      - understand anatomy (preferably not just of humans) they like skeletal studies for that.
      - push shape and form to make unique characters
      - use a variety of mediums. You can focus on a few as a specialty like me with my fineliners and don’t worry about colour too much. Understanding value is much more important.
      - tell a story. It can be as short as a single frame or as long as a full length storyboard!
      - develop your work from studies into explorations and more creative ideas. For example the tree people in my yellow book. I drew the trees then created characters based on them then drew the characters interacting with each other.
      ^^^ I feel this may be one of the most important yet overlooked points - people can be incredibly talented technically but it doesn’t offer much if the sketchbook lacks flowing ideas and is more like random scattered, undeveloped doodles.
      Other stuff to be aware of:
      - don’t worry about how your stuff looks!! Be experimental and loosen up. A sketchbook isn’t for finished work (I know mine has a lot of polished pages and I’m worried about that - don’t be like me)
      - they want to see the inner workings of your brain. Write notes/diagrams/connect points and build on previous ideas. Cross stuff out but don’t hide it. Maybe comment on what you just drew with a post-it.
      - they want to be able to see *you* through the book. If you keep in mind that by the end of looking through your sketchbook, the admissions person should have a decent idea of who you are, your interests, your home, your personality then you’ll be on the right track. I tried to focus mostly on my life in rural England and my travels.
      Hope this helps! I might edit this comment if I think of more points.

      @Keep Rocking! College isn't just learning how to "art" - It's also a fantastic place to establish connections with people already in the industry and to meet the next generation of artists. It also provides students with the space to experiment and develop themselves without the concern of losing a job. It's not for everyone but it's what I want.

    I don't think you'll even last through your second year at calarts before you get scooped out, its good to make connections but with what you already know combined with a year and a half there you can probably jump right into the industry even just now you could definitely make a living doing freelance work. calarts has a lot to teach you but those student loans pile up fast and industry experience is going to teach you just as much as the school will. Try to prioritize the people you need there because that's what'll matter when you're out, i love your stuff and i can tell you'll be doing great thigns real soon!
    also honestly i would buy at least that first track if you put it somewhere

      Having a deadline helps!! But also not worrying so much about what goes into the pages - loosen up! I have a list of stuff to draw if I'm stuck which helps keep me going during art block. Just saying it took over a year to complete my previous two sketchbooks which had the same number of pages so this speed isn't off limits to anyone :D

I'm so glad you've been accepted, you definitely deserve to do so. Not only is your style really good and shows how much you've worked to get to this level, but I can also see you have a brilliant way of seeing the world and understanding feelings/moods and colours. Very nicely done! I aspire to be on your level some day!! 💕

    very nice! good luck, realize you are already successful in advancing your talent by applying. When my daughter applied to SUNY New Paltz for art she had to bring in a large portfolio of her work, including professional photographs of items that could not travel well (her amazing art teacher did that for his students). She was assigned a review and interview day and when her portfolio was being reviewed by the art team we were taken on a campus tour. It was quite a stressful day but she was accepted, just as her older brother had been years before. Nowadays with digital art and design there are more opportunities for successful careers for art and design majors than at any other time in history. Don't forget to enjoy your youth and school experience whenever you can. Take care to cultivate close dependable friendships as you each will be the lifelines you need when dealing with the stress of the classes and assignments, particularly a senior project if you have one. Looking back you will realize that these years flew by.

The amount of creativity you infused in your observational work is rad and showed me to the importance of showing my creative side rather than just my observational work. btw you did this music!? professional quality
