    Admissions Portfolio to Cal Arts (huge DL)

    Hey all, i havent posted much but I thought that I would share with all of you my portfolio that I am sending off to Cal Arts in hopes of being accepted All thoughts, critiques, flames are accepted. Thanks a ton.





























    I can summarize my life story in context of story telling. I am a character, you are the others. Someone else wrote the beginning. We both write the plot we take together and when alone I control the storyline. However, I am the master of my destiny and I shall write the end of every chapter my life concludes.

    Im sure youll be fine mate. All your work is very strong. All I'd advise is work on head construction more.

    Very strong portfolio. There are a few pieces that could use some more work, but I don't think you should have any trouble getting accepted.

    I really like the first one and the red face on blue paper.

    Thanks a ton, i'm a bit worried about being accepted, its a tough school to get into. the admissions rep were pretty happy with it on the national portfolio day they had @ the campus.

    (anybody lookin for a school, Cal Arts has an amazing campus... breathtaking)

    kian: thanks for the crit, i agree about the head construction. i usually have a lot of trouble getting in the body and plus the head (detailed). i started doing a top down approach, but got mixed results. still searching for my own flow.

    Nice work. I like your hands study. It is a good school. Rather expensive though.

    best portfolio advice I ever got was:
    -have your strongest pieces first and last (to make a good first impression and to leave them something impressive to remember you by, respectively)
    -quality is better than quantity (and if you dont have enough quality that keeps you working to add more!)
    good luck/congrats!
