how are you supposed to insert images without them being ridiculously large

Hey guys, i'm a junior in high school working hard to prepare a portfolio for the Entertainment Design program at Art Center. I know it's an extremely competitive program and i'm still really young but i know i'm really passionate about my work and i want to do it for a living.

But anyway, on to my work, about half is unrelated from the portfolio project and the rest is designed with the intent of following a narrative i'm working on, so i'll try to keep labels on the related and unrelated work. If you wanna see the specs for the portfolio it's on art center's website (http://www.artcenter.edu/accd/admiss...ent_design.jsp).

The basic narrative for the art center portfolio is a blitzkrieg alien assault, followed by a vicious struggle for resources and concluding with a final desperate counterattack. It takes place in a futuristic society, with plenty of robots and political backstory to go along with it. I want to do a lot of environments, seeing as it's a global invasion and everything is so much different in the future, in addition to a bunch of character and vehicle sketches and model sheets.

how do you post images without them being ridiculously large

Resize a copy to 1000 pixels or less (long dimension) in any photo editing program.

Scale your images down in an image editor, the uploader doesn't do it for you. Your shapes aren't bad but the rendering feels rushed. Where is the observational stuff? Most schools like to see at least two pieces for observation to show off your foundation skills
