I think the thing is to draw and draw and draw, always carry a sketchbook and observe the world around you. Either it's cartoony or more realistic stuff, I think the process is the same, it's based on observation, understanding and caricature of life. Also, taking life drawing or gesture drawing classes is a big plus. Watch movies, cartoons, go out, see exhibitions, etc... Always be eager to learn, that's what keeps me motivated :)

It's also an awesome way to get to know each other on this community. I understand it's sort of a personal thing, but as artists we're always putting ourselves out there, and no one's more open for critique and under constant judgement. Obviously, we all put a lot of time and effort into these thoughts on an artistic statement.For those that weren't a part of the process this year, here's the criteria that needed to be met in an artistic statement:
Please address any issues or concerns that inform your artistic process, your reasons for applying to CalArts, and your artistic goals.
Simple (yeah right). less

I'm trying to get into Ringling's Computer Animation program for the Fall 2012 year. Although the deadline is done and I've submitted my portfolio, it would be awesome to hear comments from fellow artists and animators :) Ringling wanted a lot of observational pieces so I have those as well as some portraiture and three-dimensional pieces.

I have been working on my CSSSA application for this year's character animation program. I would really appreciate any advice on how to improve or just general thoughts on the three pieces.
The rain coat boy is a drawing or painting on a subject that interests you
The colorful girl head is a drawing that expresses something unique about yourself
The two piece figure drawing is techinical skill.

Back for more help!
A lot of them still depend heavily on silhouette but it's getting way better compared to last summer
Could someone point out which ones they like best so I can work to develop the style?
Any critical issues other than small hands and feet?
I still need to draw A LOT more to find my style but it always helps to hear other people's comments
I had to type the URL:

and the animation:

i have no knowledge of how one normally critiques animation, I guess I'm supposed to receive critique for the movement? any suggestions for when making the actual demo reel? I've used Toon Boom and it's so difficult, I don't know if that's what everyone uses...
