Hey everyone, long time no update, i've been collecting my portfolio for submission to cal arts for the fall of 2006. while this looks alot better in person than on pc (Everything is 18x24"), i thought i would share it with you. fairly large file dl from this point.

and thats all 30 peices at the moment. I'll be adding some animal sketches the next day or two, but I am aiming to ship it out by Friday so no major changes. All crits welcome and desired Thanks a ton

storyForge,

I don't know exactly what Cal Arts looks for in terms of a portfolio ~ but you have some strong work here, in particular your first piece and the red conte figure drawing (on paper which looks blue). I also like the pastel study of the back. Have you talked at all to an admissions counselor? Also, do you know about Portfolio Day?

http://www.npda.org/events.html

It's where a bunch of schools come together, and you can go and get your pre-college Portfolio reviewed.

Check the schedule to see if they will be in your area (if you have not already attended one of these). It's a good experience, I would definitely recommend doing it if you have not already.

I assume you will have to submit slides, or do they allow you submit cds these days?

I wish you the best of luck!!

Cheers,

I've been to the portfolio day, I got a pretty good response from Libby Hux (former admissions rep for character animation) and Dante Eaton(new admissions rep)

The portfolio im submitting is actually a physical portfolio, no slides... the actual work. I believe the reason is that they want to see how you work as an artist, be able to see all of your construction lines, which sometimes get lost in a slide.

Thanks for taking a look rebecca

No problem! It's great to hear you got a good response from the reps ~ that's important. I did the Portfolio Day thang myself back in the day, and it was an all~round good experience ~ you get a good sense of where you fall in the spectrum, and it can be eye~opening to see other peoples' work.

Let us know how things turn out!

Cheers,

hey, something I did for my figure drawing final. this is a bad photograph, but the image is on 4 peices of 18"x24" pastel paper. done in chalk, charcoal, conte:

storyForge,

Nice piece! It's cool you used the image from the OFDWs for this piece! I quite like the fractured quality the image has as a result of it being drawn on skewed pieces of paper. This looks to be a solid experimental piece. Are you sending out your portfolio tomorrow? Best of luck!

Cheers,
