- THANKS FOR WATCHING, rlly appreciate it. I was supposed to finish this video a while ago but ahah I kept procrastinating. Welcome to my rejected Sheridan animation portfolio! I hope this video was interesting even for those who have no idea what this portfolio is about. I like watching voice overs, so I tried my best to make one. My bad for the crunchy audio or picture quality, I should learn how to edit on the computer instead :,)
I think I learned quite alot throughout this portfolio, im proud that I submitted one instead of giving up. Huge thanks to my tutor, catt, her insta is www.instagram....
@cattico , and everyone I talked to during the portfolio.

wow, your portfolio looks really well put together! good for you for giving it your all. I'm a past graduate of sheridan's animation program and it took me two tries to get in, most of my fellow classmates applied more than once before being accepted.
even if you don't apply again, keep up your artistic journey! you got this.
aww thank you so much, yeah I'll definitely keep going! How was your experience at sheridan, did you like it?
@@vonyoki2679 it was a good experience overall, honed my skills as an artist and made a lot of great connections while I was there. though I must say- most of what I learned about animation and the industry was on my own time. those appying nowadays have a lot more access to teaching tools outside of college than I and my fellow students did back then.
For character turnaraound.. you might want to get into bledner and 3d sculpting. I know It isn't what you want to study but modelling and going into 3d enviroments really helped me understand perspective and form and it might just get you on that next lvl. Good luck! ;)
yeahhh I think it would also be rlly helpful. Ive been trying to get into blender and I’ve used Maya for a few months, but it’s so difficult starting out (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) it would be so cool to get good at 3D
@@bean9315 I was wondering why you misspelled it, but now I know
Damn American animation colleges are crazy, it seems like they want almost professional level students 😟 I’m glad you took the rejection well tho!
Lmfao its canada
@@myun2071Canada is in America 🤨
Hard out, most schools where I'm from will take you as long as you like to draw.
@@gargantuam8711 😭if you wanna go into technicalities America usually refers to the united states of america. North America is referring to Canada and the USA. The Americas (with s) refers to both north and south america
@@myun2071 if you wanna go into technicalities, North America is México, Canada and the USA (some include the Caribbean too, some don't, but it's also in the North American tectonic plate) an everyone else outside of the United States calls America the continent instead of a single country from it. You're not the center of the world and the rest of us in this continent have to deal with your lack of geographical knowledge.
Genuinely admire those who are brave enough to share their failures, purely in the hope it helps someone else succeed. It takes a lot courage to share these things, especially to the whole internet.
I hope you keep practicing, because you have so much talent. I see great potential in you!! Keep practicing, and please, one day reapply!! You are much closer than you think.
Many wishes for your success!!
woww reading your comment is so heartwarming, I posted this video in hopes that it could be helpful or maybe interesting, but the support I'm gettting is even more than I thought I would receive. Thank you so much
this video made me realize how much room i have to improve, but it's honestly inspiring. i admire your positive attitude even though you weren't accepted, and i really hope you're able to get in if you apply again!! i think you'd 100% have it in the bag already if you just spent more time on each section tbh
thank you sooo much, that’s so sweet for you to say. You got this! I hope you keep going and have fun :))
Im so sorry your portfolio was rejected. You're art is really lovely to me! I don't really do traditional drawings anymore but your art is so nice and it really inspires me to start a sketchbook again. I used to be able to draw well but it's been a long time. You've really given me a spark! I hope you try again and a future video is "ACCEPTED Sheridan portfolio"!
I’m so glad to hear that, definitely have lots of fun!! Thank you so much for commenting, have a good day :)
WOW IT'S REALLY COOL YOU UPLOADED THIS EVEN IF IT GOT REJECTED, YOUR ART IS AMAZING! YOUR PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS WERE SO AWESOME! THANKS FOR SHARING IT ALL! SUBBED AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF YOUR WORK!
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH AHHH, I’m so happy reading this comment :)))
international cutoff was SO HIGH this year! You did really well in personals and in the background!
@@cucumber2793 thank youuu
as someone who really wants to apply to sheridan when im out of secondary school, THANK YOU!!! i'm really really glad you posted this video, because the application process always was a bit confusing to me, but seeing this and in motion just really helped. thank you so so much, and your art is fabulous, it's really inspiring to see. if you choose to apply again, good luck!! i know you're going to go far, no matter what. THANK YOU!
AW no problem! Thank you sooo much for the sweet comment, YOU GOT THIS AS WELL!! Keep going ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
don't worry, I was rejected from Sheridan last year and went to Algonquin College instead, which is an insanely good animation program and I'm glad i didn't manage to get into sheridan. I have people in my class and in upper years that have transferred from the Sheridan animation or pre-an program and absolutely HATED Sheridan because of how cut throat the environment is. the classroom is more like a competition which means a friendly environment is hard to get, and you NEED those connections in college. I've heard Sheridan is not the best for getting connections in the industry, at least not ones that will last
There are a couple of things I noticed in your art that could help a lot in terms of perspective. At the picture in 3:30 notice how the right leg has a nice 3/4 perspective and the bottom of the shorts outline curves outward. However, we are seeing the inside of his left legs shorts even though his leg is pointed away from us. Instead of making the line curve outwards you made it curve inwards causing a wierd perspective where the leg could be going either direction. If you cover up below the knee the leg points backwards, but if you cover the shorts it goes forward. The legs and arms can be thought of as a cylinder.
The same thing can happen if you dont overlap specific lines/parts on the body a certain way, in some cases refraining from putting in overlap, or even adding the smallest amount of overlap.
If you are making an object or character do actions that people or animals do, record yourself or another person doing something similar or look up reference. It helps you figure the timing of the action and what would need to happen in order for that action to work. Like in the case of the sponge/juicebox falling after the land, it landed and rose up perfectly and then fell super quick vs if it landed leaning off balance and then fell slow in the beginning and started to pick up speed toward the bottom of the fall.
I think what you have right now is good in terms of your line quality, ideas and skill, its just a couple of little things in perspective you have to figure out. I would also suggest looking at LoveLifeDrawing's video 7 Tools to give weight to your figures.
Thank you so much for your comment, it is very useful!!! I rlly struggled with the rotation :,)
@@vonyoki2679 I struggle with rotation as well but what I've noticed is that if I just use a random 3D movable body and move it around, until it looks like the position that I am drawing I can get the proportions correct way better! It also doesn't take me as long to draw since I have no visual imagination and struggle with actually imagining my drawing during the sketch phase
Post sheridan animation grad here....honestly your portfolio is way better than mine was! I'm surprised you got rejected! Maybe the competition really got much higher over the years, especially with amazing drawing tutorials on youtube nowadays. Don't give up!
It’s very competitive these days :,) but I had fun making the portfolio. How is it going, postgrad?
@@vonyoki2679 industry day will be a scary but a good opportunity to get your foot in the door. My film got the attention of Mercury Filmworks and Blue sky studios (it was over 10 years ago!), but I decided to journey into the medical route.
I hear the animation industry can be rough. But what I see from past classmates is if you have passion and don't give up, you'll get there. Don't get discouraged if your film doesn't get attention during Industry day. Your passion and love of drawing will eventually get your foot in the door. Sadly, I do hear that the industry is yet going through another rough time.
But I definitely see your passion for story telling and your love of drawing. This was something that was kind of forced for me, but natural for you :)
Animators are also so fun to be with, I miss that so much.
Don't give up!
Yo I think you did pretty well tbh. Most porto I've seen on yt scored low on storyboard so it's really amazing you scored close to perfect. Tho I gotta admit the expectations have been growing rapidly (about 5% from last year's). I think they're especially picky when it comes to animation. I saw one high-scoring Sheridan attempter from 2022/2020 and their animation (15/15) was smooth af so I think that's a very important factor in grading. But again, there have been so many talented attempters it's lowkey scary. An 85% porto mentioned having doors and windows for perspective drawings to enhance the proportion so I think you did well on that
ahh thank you for your commentary, yeah I was pretty surprise to have my best section to be the storyboard. The animation was difficult for me so I didn’t expect anything higher than what I got. It is pretty scary how many people are attempting this, but it’s cool at the same time. I was able to meet a lot of artists and learn way more about animation so I’m glad :))) have a nice day
YOUR ART IS AMAZING WTAF im not an art student but i just finished my first year of college at the only place that accepted me for what career path i wanted to take (7 hour drive from my home city lol) and it was way better than i thought!! people will try and say that the only good colleges are the ones that have really really high admission requirements but thats not true at all, there is plenty of cheaper colleges that are easier to get into that can still give you a great experience for what you paid for. ANYWAY DONT GIVE UP!!!! YOURE AWESOME :D!!!!!!!!!!!!
gosh, the 7 hr drive. But I'm so happy for youu that the college you went to was better than you thought! I agree that great experiences isn't always connected to college with higher admissions. I hope everything is going well for you, don't give up!! Super happy to read your comment :DDDD!!!!!
wow!! Your artwork is beautiful, and the positive attitude you have toward your portfolio is really inspiring to see. keep up the amazing work!!
ahh thank you so much!! Yeahh I'm not down at all for being rejected, I'm glad to have improve during this process. I hope you stay to see future works :DDD
My god if THIS was rejected- then what chance do we have? 😭😭
These are beautiful btw! I’m really proud of u for submitting these amazing pieces!
thank you so muchhhh
This is INCREDIBLE What?! The scoring seemed so harsh :0 this looked just as good as some of the accepted portfolios. (I'm an amateur so there's bias but... still!)
THANK U SMMM
man your work looks amazing to me!!
aw thanks man, much appreciated :))
i see 19/20 storyboarding as an absolute WIN!!!
Thank you
I admire you for taking the rejection well and still sharing your artworks with us. You have every right to be proud because we can all see the effort you put into these and they all look very professional. Keep it up and you will get accepted next time 👍✨
aw thank you very much!
Congrats for showing your rejected portfolio, that takes a lot of courage
ty, thanks for commenting!
If this isn't the cutest video TH-cam decided to recommend me out of the blue.
Your portfolio is really nice and I hope next time around you have better luck!
THANKSSS, that’s so nice for you to say!! Thanks for watching
i love your digital portraits so much. they have so much character it's amazing
ahhhh thanks
Wow I’m really surprised you didn’t get a full score for the hand drawings those were super good- amazing work :)
Watched this a year ago and I had no idea why you didn’t pass. I’ve come back and it all makes sense to my eye now.
I don’t notice my progress often, but little things like this are nice.
I’m glad that you could understand now then a while ago, I knew I was lacking but I didn’t know how to make it better. Now I can sort of see what I could’ve improved on.
You have high potential girl-! Keep going~
ahh thank you so much for your support
Thanks for being helpful and reasonable with your art and self
Your resilience is inspiring
thanks for watching, im glad u find it helpful!!!
Looks AMAZING 🥰
THANKS
Your environment art is so beautiful
Thank you so much!
Sorry you got rejected, but congrats on summoning the courage to submit a portfolio anyway! Hopefully you’ll get accepted somewhere :)
thank you so much! Yeahh I did get accepted to another place so it’s okay!
You seem so cool and your art is so pretty Sheridan really missed out Hope you're doing well and get into a school you like bc you deserve it!!!
ahhh thanks, I’m vibing atm, I hope things go well for you too!
If you still want to try for animation next year, it might be a good idea to take some weekend or summer animation classes. Online is great for flexibility, but in-person is definitely best.
Obviously, I don't know if you have or not. But it would be a great way to gain some of that good ol' experience Sheridan expects its 1st year students to have 😑
Also, you can google some accepted portfolios. They're an excellent reference.
at the moment, youtube is my best friend for help and tutorials. But I'll definitely try to find some other resources, thanks for your suggestions :)
@@vonyoki2679 Excellent, that's exactly what I like to hear 👏
This is some cool stuff. Good luck on your art journey!
thank you so much
I’d rather try and fail than keep to myself the desire to try. I want to apply to an animation program, not this one but it’s known to be very tough to get into because you need high grades. My grades pretty good, but not very high. Something is better than nothing 🤷♀️
The portfolio for this school is pretty difficult but there is still other schools, other options… work on animation stuff outside of school, keep going! i hope we both do!
Thank you for showing this! Its very valuable to me (and I'm sure it is to even more people here) :))
ah you’re welcome, thanks for the sweet comment :))
Nice portfolio! ✌
ayooo ur so quick, thanks for watching
Love your style=3 I am proud of you too=)
Awww thank you so much
I LOVE THESE/THIS
THANKS
This is a very random comment but I'm an artist also and I once 3D modelled a possum and a koala duo (they were musicians) so seeing the same animals in your storyboard made me very excited haha. I hope you try again next year!
Ayeee the possum and koala duo, epic!!!! That’s so cool you 3D modeled, I always wanted to get better at it. It’s difficult :,)
You should definitely try again, at least now you have it half done, and you know what you're going to need to spend the most time on. Many people have their work rejected multiple times before they reach their goal. I can see how talented you are, and watching this was very informative for me. Keep at it and I wish you the best!
Thank you soooo much, this is motivating!! I’m glad it was informative for you, I hope the best for you too :))
I love this video! I was expecting it to be rather self-deprecating, but you’re really positive throughout and you have a wonderful outlook on how you can grow from things that seem like failures! This is also really helpful for me as I work to build my portfolio, and it makes me feel better to see someone promoting the idea that getting a rejection isn’t the end of the world, and can be a good opportunity to learn. My favorite pieces in your portfolio were the sketchbook pages and the interior/exterior backgrounds. Thank you for making such an encouraging and helpful video!
Wow 79 is great for first time applying. Im applying for next year so im no expert but i bet you couldve scored like 1 point higher if you submitted the second pass of your hand drawings instead of the digital one. I know 8 out lf 10 is still good but i heard they prefer traditional and your traditional version was very good. I could be wrong aswel but for the shorter life drawings i feel like you focused too much on structure and outside lines. For short they want very gestural lines (im explaining it terribly but proko has good videos on this). I know your figure and hands got pretty good marks anyway but these are just little things i noticed. Also the sponge as reference is the best idea ive ever seen
Edit: i thought your adobe scan of hands was a digital pass, ignore my comment about ur hands🫡🫡🫡
Hahah the sponge references, I couldn’t visualize the animation myself so had to use that technique. Thank you so much for commenting, appreciated it!!! Your comments are useful as well!
Congratulations on your application! I think you did great and almost got in! Was it your first attempt? Just keep going! Your art already looks amazing! I'm rooting for you! 👏👏👏
Thank you! Though, to get in, I needed a 95% so I’m sort of far from that. Regardless for my first attempt, I’m glad I tried!! Thanks for the support!!
It'll be an honor to subscribe and watch your art expand!
Looking forward to your next video!
ahhh thank u so much for the sweet comment, i hope to see more comments in the future
I think your work shows a lot creativity and earnest effort pursue a career in Animation. I know it’s pretty competitive to get into Sheridan. Mohawk College in Hamilton is looking for students with potential and you certainly show potential. You would have been accepted at Mohawk 🙂
No matter how a person can get rejected, they can still try again and somehow, it's alright to take the rejection. I'm a perfectionist who wants to attend my dream school, but afraid of rejection. However, when I saw your video, you made me reminded that I can try again!
yeahh can always try again after rejection! I’m rlly happy to hear that my video reminded u that. Actually, when I was going through the application process, I learned that I couldn’t go to my dream schools: either art school or a school known for their animation. My parents rejected the idea and I was bummed out. I was rlly afraid that I wouldn’t make it as an animator if I didn’t go into one of those schools. Almost gave up on this portfolio, but grinded it at the end. Even though it’s not to standard and I knew I wouldn’t be able to go, I’ve learned a lot during this time period, and I’m happy I tried. Also schools can be rlly important and helpful but it’s not everything. Remember that rejection isn’t failing. I’ll keep going and I hope you do too. Best wishes
I never comment so I just wanted to say that I think your art is very good! You should apply again next year and I hope you get in!
aww thank you so much for commenting then, I really appreciate it! Have a nice day
If I had to give advice I think you would really benefit from looking up line of action and try to start out with extreme poses and then add details, build on top of it.
Avoid copying photographic reference and directly drawing silhouettes/outlines because this can cause the drawing to become/look somewhat stiff. As for animation you probably already looked up the 12 principles but just incase I think the 2 most noticeably missing here were the lack of secondary motion and a bit of clumsy spacing and timing which cause an unclear end point. Overall I think there's plenty of potential already there. And I know for sure I'm still relearning/struggling the basics even after already finishing my animation degree it's so much easier said then done after all. We all strife for improvement but no ones road is paved exactly the same.
thanks for commenting!
oh this is wild how you didn’t get accepted, your works are brilliant! Hope you’ll get into other college, wishing you luck with your future applications!
Ahaha thank you so much, I wish you the best too :))
Thank you for making this! I'm currently trying to apply, but seeing how many people who apply from ALL OVER THE WORLD makes me super nervous. I physically gripped at my heart over the bear-fish-market drawing. That one has such fantastic perspective, plus the nice shadow-y colours that I haven't seen in an application before. It totally should have gotten full points [in my mind]. I can't stop laughing over your hatred for the possum, though. Best of luck for your future works.
(Btw I myself arent a Sheridan grad, my sister was) I’m very impressed by your portfolio! You have a similar style to my sister and it’s very pleasing to my eyes at least. If it helps at all: depending on what character you’re drawing, you can take pictures(with consent) of people with similar frame to help you with visualizing that character facing a certain angle. The storyboard was captivating and I’m happy you got a great score on it. Definitely if you feel up for it, try again!
Thank you so muchh
Honestly i believe you will get in on your second try, it's already really good
thank u so much!!
tysm for sharing this!! i'm going to college in literally a week and i'm going to be submitting a portfolio my sophomore year, so this was a really good reference for dos and don'ts. even if this didn't get accepted, it's still obvious how skilled you are at what you do, you're incredible!
Man, if your portfolio got rejected, I'd hate to see what I'd get if I actually applied to Sheridan instead of another school! This is excellent work!!
thanks. Yeah Sheridan is definitely a lot more strict
Also, excellent work! I really liked that airplane character lineup ❤❤❤
thanks :D
Very cool and nice portfolio! :)
thanks :D
this all looks so good
thank you :))
You have skills apply next year keep applying it doesn't hurt anything.
Your voice is so relaxing start an ASMR channel or something and can we get more videos please even if it's just timelapses of you animating and talking over it about your processes and random stuff or a day in the life
ahhh sweetest comment, I'm so hesitant about talking in my videos so thank you so much for the support! "start an ASMR channel" made me so happy bc I watch asmr an unhealthy amount hahah. i hope you come back to watch more videos :)))
Thank you so much for sharing! Really interesting to see all of your pieces!
I hope you are applying again next year, its obvious you know what you need to work on
I might try again next year, but I’ll keep drawing for sure
I still have no idea why you got turned down, your portfolio looks really nice! I am currently trying to create my portfolio for the next semester and I am super nervous =,
Goodluck!! You got this :D
Great portfolio so far! You're very skilled. One note tho, Don Herzfeldt's Rejected was way funnier. 9/10
haha thank you :D
wow, this looks great! keep it up, i know many of sheridan's alumni didn't make it in on the first try!
thanks! yeah, I might try again
I took Sheridan's art fundamentals course when I got rejected from Illustration and Animation.
And let me tell you... Sheridan sucks.
Some of the students in Art Fundamentals were in their 2nd and 3rd year, hoping to improve enough to get into Animation. Unfortunately for them, AF doesn't teach a lot of what's needed to make a good enough portfolio. It doesn't teach motion or design or storyboarding.
One day, a teacher from an Animation class showed us portfolios that HAD been accepted that year. And I was disgusted.
These portfolios were immaculate, perfect, professional-grade work. Full colour, fully-rendered stuff you'd expect in a Pixar movie art book. I'd bet money some of them were experienced animators looking for new digital animation techniques.
There was no way the students in my AF course could match the quality and skill that has been accepted. Our teachers knew this and let these hopeful people waste their time and money anyway. On a course that would never help them.
In high school, the rep who came to sell the college swore that Sheridan only accepts "people who need to learn", not experienced professionals.
After seeing those portfolios, I can say Sheridan only accepts those who make them look good.
Dangg, thanks for your comment. It was interesting to see your point of view. Yeah the accepted portfolios are insanely good! My main motivation for doing the portfolio was not to get in, but to learn, so I'm not upset that I got rejected haha. I'll keep going in my art journey!
@@vonyoki2679 NP, but I'm sorry for being so negative. The experience soured the school for me. This was over 10 years ago so maybe things have improved, who knows.
That's an excellent point: submitting a portfolio doesn't mean you're looking to get accepted. I wish they'd use a more face-to-face, or even live chat, approach to grading portfolios, though. That'd help applicants so much.
From what I can see, you're art journey is coming along quite well! I can't wait to see where you go from here! All the best 🎉
@@bleh329 Since it was 10 years ago, I'm curious about what you have done after you witnessed that. Did you get through the Art Fondamental program ? Did you get into another art school? Or did you change path entirely? I hope you're doing well!
@@ame_vagabonde I am well, thank you. I hope you are too!
I dropped out of AF, it wasn't challenging to me since I'd had an excellent art program in high school (very grateful for that). I gave up on seeking an Animation or Illustration degree, since Sheridan was the only option at the time. Took graphic design elsewhere, worked in that field for a few years. Didn't enjoy it too much and eventually left. Learned recently that ADHD has been holding me back from pursuing my actual passion; comics. Now I'm finally making headway to get my own work completed.
lol, Sorry for the info dump on my life ;p 🤷♀
What your story, if you don't mind me asking?
@@bleh329 Thanks for answering me! I'm glad you went on your journey to discover what you really liked, it's inspiring!
I don't have an interesting art story even though I like to draw, I've got a scientific degree and I'm still not sure about what to do with my life, so I'm always curious when I see interesting paths like yours!
Good luck on your comics :D
I think your art is beautiful, imaginative, and interesting. some technical elements could be improved upon, but honestly I feel like if you spent some more time on the sections you scored low on, you could’ve done much better. Like you got almost perfect on the storyboard, keeping in mind how much time it took. Of course easier said than done, but your talent is there, you maybe just need some polish that comes with consistent work on the portfolio.
thank you so much!
I got rejected this year too😢 is way to hard. But your portfolio is really well done😭😭😭
i cant believe you were rejected. i feel hopeless myself, i bet next year you totally will crush it
Ur vid got spawned in my recomations
Here are some suggestions to get better :)
(im not in a better/professionell Position, buuut im really good at spotting mistakes etc, so dont take it Personal pls i just want to help)
Soo hands first, cz i love to draw hands 😅
Ur hands have both the same, let call it tension? Look u can see that this hand holds the dart in a loose position (but stiff linework), and the release looks nearly the same!
If i pinch my finfers together u could see some more "tension" espasially in the linework, can u draw a hand which express the tension and the release a bit better?
-not by pose but with the linework /detail/feeling
If u know what i mean..
I think the problem there is that one can see that u painted those 2 hands from a picture.
Using pictures as refference is Important, but the clean way ur lines look is coused cz u focused too mutch on the positioning etc rsther than linework. Try drawing it by looking at ur real hand, nit at the foto 😊
Rotating character,
U made it urself easy with this type of character, which characters are a harder challange when u rotate them?
Try to draw smthing like a truck or in ur room and than spin it in your Imagination, with this u train ur brain to think more 3d and in Perspective!
U will see, the first ones are crap but after a while its a nobrainer
Short Animation
I really really like your approich, buut Animations are a lot about tension in movement.
Which frames are the keyframes you would need for an animation? You gave each position the same amount of screentime, which is not needed, try the 12laws of animation 4 yourself and check where its whacky.
One last thing i noticed in your coloured picsss
Okay, u use the same brush for everything try t, and your character are shaded differently and have outlines but the background is more blurred/ with twice the amount of colours AND theyre all in the same hue! Turn ur colored ones in black/white and you will see that the darks/mids/light tines are all really close in the same hue range and have nearly no contrast :o, colours are damn hard but u dont need the whole pallet, maybe limit yourself more so you dont get overwhelmed with choosing the right colors
The characters look like an point n click advanture (this is just some thing i noticed) cz the characters are made differently than the background its good/bad in the same time depending what you wanted
Lastly, i can see why u scored so high with your personal pages! ❤
Theyre a blast!
Whyy? Cz u allow yourself to let ur line speak! I can see where u had fun and you had a good chill day! I love the cars on the first slide, they have character! The second slide is just awesome!
Filled with so, much -your strength is eslacially fast drawings which Catch the moment, the linework on those is far batter than the ones where you "try to much" /"tension up"
The lines are spot on! Love it!
Draw more from real life and memory than i pad, u can really spot the difference cz the ipad delets your own handwriting :).
❤ Loved your video, youre an a really really good way ad i liked your honest aplroach
Thank you from a drunk guy who goas sleelin now
thank u drunk guy, I really appreciate your commentary, it was so detailed!! I'll take them into consideration and try harder for future pieces, thanks!! Have a wonderful day :D
What you said about the hands is interesting!
For the character rotation, I want to add :
- I think the choice of character is good, it's not too simple nor too complicated, and I like the design
- the front view is perfect, in my opinion it's the sideway one that probably got you wrong, because it feels as if the weight repartition of the character isn't above its feet. I don't know if I'm clear, but it feels like if he is ready to fall backwards. I think this comes from the fact that you rotated the character around its heels while the weight should also be supported by the sole of the foot. Which means that either the body mass should have been more forward, or the feet should have been more back so that the rotation point was in the middle of the foot.
- the details like the face and hair is really good, though the hand seems a bit to similar between two of the poses
I hope it can help you! Still, don't take my opinion for granted, because I never took any art classes and only ever animated one character rotation in my life for fun so I'm far from being an expert :)
Good luck in your art journey! ❤
@@ame_vagabonde ah thank you so much!
I watched quite a few of these and I feel like this a quite RNG based at this point, I wanna see someone who submits the identical pieces twice and see how much their marks differ
I’m curious to see that too
Hey I got 71% myself, so I feel ya! Maybe next year will be our year!
This is way higher than my score for me getting in. Our threshold was lower, but I got in right at 61%.
Congrats to you!!
Awesome perspectives! I hope you can try again next year
What the hell? This was rejected? I don't know anything about Sheridan, but from this video I must guess it must be insanely competitive to get into. You're already well on your way to developing some really strong skills without even starting the degree yet.
Thank you for sharing your rejected portfolio! It takes courage to do it.
I see a lot of potential in your work but I also see why it was "only" about an 80% score.
You should definitely try again next time, and in the mean time work on your skills regarding perspective/3D space, which looks like your weakest point judging from the video only. Your turnaround was definitely your weakest point - I'm sure practicing will get you there though! Keep at it and you'll make it. :)
thanks!!
I hope you got back in the saddle and went back to upping your skills and style.
Thankss
if you want another amazing school I recommend Max the mutt! i got in and im super excited to go :)
Nice video!
thanks!
for my own knowledge, could somebody say what's wrong with the character turnaround? apart from some slight wonkiness in the hand and shirt collar, it looks pretty good to me! what could be improved here?
Can you please explain more about the story board?
Is it necessary to provide a special story for the story board?
Does the university give us a picture to write a story for, or do we have to create a picture and write a story for the story board?
For the storyboard for Sheridan, they gave us a prompt and a simple character sheet of the Possum. Then you create a story and draw four pictures to tell that story. Last year’s prompt was “Better Safe then Sorry”. My version of the story is that since the possum didn’t wear any protection, the experiment exploded on him causing burns. I made another character wearing all the protection to convey “Better safe then sorry” because they didn’t get any burns and were safe.
@@vonyoki2679 Thank you very much The paintings you drew were great in my opinion🥹❤️🔥✨
@@Hastimew aw thank you so much
Did they leave you any notes on why they scored it they way they did?
Or did they just do the score and toss it back at ya?
They don't leave notes, they just give us a score
idk wtf is sheridan but um try universities outside of your country, esp if its the USA. Im in KR rn
they seriously rejected u??
how high are the standards there my GOSH
Haha you can check other Sheridan Animation Acceptance videos for reference
Some schools require a degree before you apply these days it seems?
lol, Nah. They just require that you be so good before applying that there's no way to make the school look bad when you graduate 😤
yep not a degree, but already pretty good
To be honest, you have a room to improve. But the potential is noticeable
thank you
Hi I was wondering what course had you applied for, was it a master's degree or a bachelor's degree, also how many years is the course for?
Cool work really liked your perspective drawings!
Helloo, I applied to Sheridan Honours Bachelor of Animation, and on the site it said the duration is 4 years. I'm not a student there so I'm unsure about how it is but there is alot of Sheridan Students that post their progress on youtube. You should check those out! :D
Yeah I’m definitely not getting accepted if this masterpiece was rejected
aww thanks
makes you wounder why some get in first try others need more practice
God bless ❤
Got to say I love how many fat people you draw. Body diversity isn't something I see often w a lot of artists, so its nice to see how you do it and do it so well
thank you so much!
It's very confusing why animation schools exist if they already expect you to be a professional to be accepted. Crazy how much of a scam pursuing art really is.
Its not like people who work in the industry have to draw to disney feature film quality anymore since everything is a pre made rig or get stuck doing 3d animation anyway. And every character follow the same bag of interchangable amatuer animation tricks.
Yikes, American and Canadian art colleges have such high standards compared to the art college I'm going to. I got 578 points out of 600 on my portfolio and I am nowhere near as talented as you are. I really do hope you end up getting in tho!
It depends on the college, some colleges don’t even ask for a portfolio. Nevertheless, Congratulations on your acceptance!! Thanks for the compliment
I don't get why your character rotation scored so low, it's definitely not the worse character design I've seen
aw thanks
Best thing about this video is that I realized I would get 2% 😂
pfff it prob would only be that low if u didn’t turn anything for most of the sections
sheridan
Hi there! I’m a Sheridan Animation Graduate who is currently tutoring hopefuls. I’m working on a video as a free resource to help those specifically applying to the program, I’m on the look out for both accepted and rejected portfolios to use as examples with feedback and I was wondering if you’d be okay with having me include some of your work?
That’s really cool that you are tutoring hopefuls!!! I don’t mind if you use my work. When you make your video, let me know! I would like to watch it!
Do they set u a time for how long you spend of each drawing in your portfolio?
My dream is to get into an art school and I’m trying to prepare myself as much as possible to get there
They didn’t set a time, for this school, they put out the requirements many months before the deadline! I guess the figures they set a time because they wanted a short pose and a long pose, so around 2 min to twenty. The rest, didn’t really matter. I spent months on one thing. The other art school i applied was Ringling, they didn’t set a time either. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
So what is your next step wher from you which course you have taken what is your before qualification i also badly need to study this course
im going to try to learn from online resources, although it’s difficult to have a schedule of myself. And I’ll keep making TH-cam videos too :)))
Glad you didn’t turn into a certain 1940s german leader
So to join a school you need to be a master already?
haha for this school, you have to be pretty good
Just for the laughs ill aply there. Im a total bigginner 🤣
hahaa
