When you use fruits to cover up the body instead of curtains.

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 :)

Can a timing be any more perfect

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

This is kinda funny because I just got a pamphlet about an art school That I wanted to go to today (this is perfect)

[brockmckelvey]

That girl with the octopus looks super rad!

[kutyhooves]

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!!!

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.

[loganpurdy]

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

[megzarie]

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.

[kroseillustration]

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. <3

[greenbean]

there needs to be a name for lavendertowne fans.
Edit: My favorite one is Lavendulas!

[silvershock]

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*

[Ziemniaczekful]

[indighost__]

"what makes you most happy when you're drawing"

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.
