I AM A REJECTION DAY VICTIM TOO. haha well I look forward to worrying with some of you again next year, and a major congrats to those who got in! :)

I'm off to drop off my portfolio right now! here's a link to (all but one video) of it http://www.flickr.com/photos/62053499@N04/sets/72157628725762123/ good luck, everyone!

Thank you so much for the critique! And no, you're not rude, you're helpful! lol Oooh, yeah, thanks for pointing out the (lack of) composition. Hadn't even thought of that before! And yeah, I'll keep an eye on tangents too. I love Glen Keane! Yeah number 7 was a blind contour, I heard that they like to see rougher, quick work along with more finished work. But you could be right, it doesn't really look good next to the others. Number 8 was another "look, I can draw fast too" one- it was only a 1 minute pose

Hey all! Idk if you guys remember me from the 2011 CalArts "waiting room" thread, but I waited a while and didn't get in. :/ I'll be going to Biola University in the fall (nvm why, its kind of a long story) and plan on applying again this fall for 2012.

I've been working hard these couple months on my life drawings, and I'd love it if you guys could gove me some tips both on my life drawing, and on my last portfolio in general.

 

This is the portfolio (yes, i'm a little embarassed) (also I had a small amount of video content from my summer at CSSSA in 2010, but it wasn't really memorable I guess, so its not here) http://www.flickr.com/photos/62053499@N04/sets/72157626575387003/

And this is my website that I usually update with my weekly life drawings http://renegade-pencils.tumblr.com/

 

Libby was of course very sweet and told me that my sketchbook could use more observational drawings. She said 50% observation would be a good idea. She also told me that the mascara life drawing (its the first one, and yes I used mascara for it) was a strong piece.

 

So, yeah! I'd love to hear from you all on how I can improve my work and my portfolio! Thanks for your time :)

Nice to meet you all so soon! :) I'm 18 and will be graduating from high school in two months (FINALLY), and I applied for 2011 this year, but didn't make it, so I'll be re-applying next year while I go to some other school to build up my portfolio and stuff.
