I relate so much!! I’m from Brazil and we don’t really get to have art class in school so I feel so disadvantaged from people from first world countries 😅 So so glad you got in!! Good luck !!
eu estava pensando sobre isso esses dias... vejo muitos videos sobre artistas que tinham um professor de arte os ajudando com o portfolio etc. aqui no brasil quem pode ter esse tipo de ensino são só pessoas com dinheiro :/
É, a gente tinha aula de artes até o ano passado (9°), mas nem era nada muito sério. Eu que sempre me esforçava pra fazer o melhor possível... Agora tô me virando pra aprender as coisas e eu espero que dê certo
Your portfolio is so simple and effective in the best way possible , when I watch other portfolio videos I usually get confused and overwhelmed I come out still not understanding what I should do , but your video is so inspiring
When you said you realized you wanted to get into CalArts by the end of your junior year I swear I felt the same pain. I didn’t realize I wanted to go to art school until the end of sophomore year and I’m still scared as hell to apply in a few months. I’m no where near being able to feel confident in getting into this school. Still, It’s nice to see and be able to relate to someone. Congrats!!!
I understand completely! It was really scary for me too because I saw all these people on TH-cam that looked like they’ve prepared since who knows how long and I’m here late to the ride. I still made it in the end somehow so I think you definitely should give it a shot! Good luck ✊
Y'all are kinda worrying me, I'm in senior year and realized not long ago 💀 At least I practiced art consistently even if it wasn't my career goal necessarily
I was looking for a great example of a sketchbook and stumbled across this video and watched till the end. I can't wait to see where this journey takes you! Keep up the amazing work!
I’m actually a Burmese art student too except I’m from Singapore. Calarts was my dream as a kid but the fees were wayyy too high for me so i just settled for a local art school. Seeing you get accepted into all these amazing overseas art school is so inspiring to see and your works are so cool! Can’t wait to see more from you❤️
Your creative mind is amazing, your detailed is beautiful and your skill is fantastic.🎉🎉 Congratulations on getting in. 🎉🎉 I really love your stuff can’t wait to see what else you will make!😁
Your portfolio is awesome :D and congrats on getting into CA!! I’m a sophomore in HS rn and ringling has been my goal school since like the 5th grade 😭 I was wondering what grade you were In when you made most of these pieces? I’m not sure if I should be trying to build out a portfolio now or if I’m late to start 😅Also I’m looking to get into digital art and wondering what tablet/program you used. Whatever I have to do I’m just really committed and want to be In animation so badly! Thank you and congrats again :-))
Hi! Great video! Hopefully not the last one but I know you will be super busy from now on. I graduated from RISD and I noticed you said you don't know how you got into CalArts and maybe I can help? Obviously if you don't care about my opinion feel free to not read the rest, after all you didn't ask for it and it will probably be long-ish. I know when I got accepted into RISD I wanted to know why and wished someone gave me some ease of mind about that. Also maybe someone who is applying into an art school will read this and will help them idk. Also my opinions are only about commercial arts (illustration, animation, etc.) and even then are super broad so they will not apply to every single art school. STYLE: You mentioned that style isn't really important and I agree 100% A lot of people put a lot of effort into finding their style and ignore the fundamentals. They also fail to consider that a lot of very successful artists will have to learn how to mimic multiple art styles, especially in animation. FOUNDATION (fundamentals): You still have a lot of room to grow in terms of your foundation as an artist (which is perfectly acceptable as someone who hasn't even gone to art school, this isn't a criticism) but you do have the beginnings of a strong foundation which I don't think a lot of people have. I was actually surprised at what you thought your strongest and weakest pieces are because I thought the room interior design is actually lovely. It has a lot of personality and a decent grasp on perspective. A lot of people won't even attempt to get started on perspective or anatomy and the fact that you are already working on it is a big plus. STORY: This is a big one for CalArts' character design course and I would argue it's the strongest part of your portfolio. The character designs show that you are very familiar with that historic aesthetic which is very helpful in world building. Your background designs are specific enough to be from a believable world. Even your life studies show a lot of emotion while remaining pretty simple. Congrats on getting into CalArts! You really deserve it! If you wanna chat more about your portfolio or something you're working on lemme know!
so sorry for the late reply I just saw this now! Thank you so much for the feedback it def helped ease my mind. Thanks for offering to help! I’ll definitely let you know if I do need it at some point 😊😊😊
Isn't Calarts very expensive? Or like, there's any scholarships for international students? 😭 I really want to go to Calarts but I'm from third world + no money lol abdhsj
congrats on getting into so many great schools !! i have a question - how do you do studies if the subjects are always moving? like your study of jiufen old street or your birds? i want to stop drawing environments from pictures but every time i draw moving subjects i get frustrated lmao
Thank you! I do a really fast sketch (more like scribble tbh XD) of the things I know that are going to move then once I capture that I move onto shading/coloring by observing them ! So usually it’s the humans first then the environment theyre in because the background is less likely to change
Hi! Congratulations on making it into CalArts! This video helps a lot. I was so stressed and this definitely helped. I do have a question if you don't mind. I want to apply but I do not know the difference between character and experimental animation. Can you help explain them to me please? Again, great portfolio and great video.
congrats on gettin in!! ive got one question. , just how much creative work do we need to submit for the portfolio?i understand u need at-least 15 drawings for the observational part of the portfolio but what about the creative work section? im having a difficult time understanding the portfolio part xd
Do you think Calarts prefers if you have your creative works to be following one story line? I have heard people say that they like to see multiple ideas, but since you got in following one storyline, do you think that it is actually better to do it that way?
i don’t think i was great at it since im self taught. i attached my demo reel in the description so u can b the judge XD. you don’t need to know how to animate since they’re teaching u that there but if u have some animations that you’re proud of then adding them to ur portfolio wouldn’t hurt :))
If you mean the apps I used to create the pieces : procreate, adobe photoshop, AE, Adobe animate For the portfolio itself the schools use diff platforms of their own creation that i had to upload my pieces onto.
Do you have to pay to study there? Student depth or anything? Cuz I'm getting intro this and thinking where to apply and I'm really confused about the payment
What software did you use to make the animatic and the animations? And what would you recommend? I really want to get into the animation schools you got into and animation seems like a big bonus.
Hi I used procreate, after effects, adobe animate, and animation desk. I recommend using animate and after effects but they’re quite expensive so procreate does well too. Animation desk is free but has limited features. For adding audio I just use iMovie
hi for online sources theres ges draw party, new masters academy, draw this (these 3 r on youtube), and I've seen some of my classmates use zeet studio sketch. i also asked my family to pose for me for life drawing since i live in a country where figure drawing classes arent available.

I’m also realizing it in sophomore year , but I’m already in college 💀💀I wanted to transfer but CalArts deadlines are over sadly
I relate so hard… this comment is from two years ago but it’s what I’m struggling with right now
Y'all are kinda worrying me, I'm in senior year and realized not long ago 💀
At least I practiced art consistently even if it wasn't my career goal necessarily
I found this so inspiring

Thanks a lot for this video.
OmG YOU are Amazing
thank youuuu 😭❤️
Foreign students have an advantage and priority to getting into cal arts , I’d recommend applying if you aren’t from America
Why do you say so?
Isn't Calarts very expensive? Or like, there's any scholarships for international students? 😭 I really want to go to Calarts but I'm from third world + no money lol abdhsj

i think it's really just up to you! i submitted around 11 because i wanted to showcase the story i developed.
"Look how disappointed she is in me. As always!" Haha i needed that laugh thank you
Do you think Calarts prefers if you have your creative works to be following one story line? I have heard people say that they like to see multiple ideas, but since you got in following one storyline, do you think that it is actually better to do it that way?
I don’t think it really matters which you choose to do! It’s completely up to you
I'm from Cambodia a third world country too applying next year and just praying they won't pay too much attention to my study background 😅
We’re you good at animation before you applied? I do mediocre animatics and I’m not sure if I would be able to get into schools for animation
i don’t think i was great at it since im self taught. i attached my demo reel in the description so u can b the judge XD. you don’t need to know how to animate since they’re teaching u that there but if u have some animations that you’re proud of then adding them to ur portfolio wouldn’t hurt :))
hii, you are very talented!
I wanna apply to calarts too but it’s very expensive. Can you talk about fafsa and financial things?
What app did you use to make a portfolio?
or rather, what's the best app, tool etc. for making an art portfolio?
If you mean the apps I used to create the pieces : procreate, adobe photoshop, AE, Adobe animate
For the portfolio itself the schools use diff platforms of their own creation that i had to upload my pieces onto.
Love your work! Where did you find the background music for your animatic?
hi sorry for the super late reply. I found it off TH-cam
Do you have to pay to study there? Student depth or anything? Cuz I'm getting intro this and thinking where to apply and I'm really confused about the payment

Hi I used procreate, after effects, adobe animate, and animation desk. I recommend using animate and after effects but they’re quite expensive so procreate does well too. Animation desk is free but has limited features. For adding audio I just use iMovie
can u make a video about how you created the video, digitalise the paper pieces ecc
Where did you usually find your figure models? I’m applying next year and I’m worried about how to find live models
hi for online sources theres ges draw party, new masters academy, draw this (these 3 r on youtube), and I've seen some of my classmates use zeet studio sketch. i also asked my family to pose for me for life drawing since i live in a country where figure drawing classes arent available.
Hi, may I ask how long you worked on this portfolio?
Hi. I worked on it for about 4 months
Hey question where did you go to draw figure studies? I have difficulties finding classes that allow minors

What was the amount of scholarship money you received?
How many of these were digital?
