ROFL Couldn't be any more true.

Yeah, in my head it was a good idea, but in practice it didn't work out so good :-/

This has to be a troll thread. Nobody in their right mind would be proud of those god-awful tattoos.

Good evening, Newgrounds.

I recently got a Wacom Bamboo Fun and I'm very happy with it. Not quite as many features as the Intuous models but are a good deal cheaper and easier to pick up and get to grips with.

That's great. You have a real flare for dramatics. It's an awesome scene :)

Best sentenced I've heard in a long while.

Picture of a rose a drew a while back.
I like drawing with classic mediums, but I tend to erase things a whole lot, especially when drawing people. With pencil I tend to be left with a destroyed page which makes me cry :(

Both can do things the other can't so I think it's best to use everything you can and explore everything :)

Defiantly! Feel free to do more than one! I'd say up to 3 or 4.

In that case I might do another, if I find the time. Quite enjoyed drawing the last one :)

Hmm.. A week left. Is 30 seconds the bare minimum? I'm not sure if I'd be able to get a decent quality 30 second flash done in time.

Im assuming this is a high school level course? Or a pre-college one?

This is a post high school, Pre-college course. I'm Irish so our system of education works differently to most other countries but the college I applied to is called a Post Leaving Certificate College of further education. That basickly means that for people that don't get the grades they need in our equivalent to the SATs(the leaving certificate), that they can use the results from this 1 or 2 year course to gain access to college.

In my case this course was a year long portfolio preparation course, designed for people too busy working on study for the leaving cert to apply properly to any decent portfolio for art college.

Yeah most people who know they want to go to art colleges know early on and are working and prepping a portfolio starting freshman yer in high school. I was in the boat that decided about 2 months after graduating, spent 2 years at a community college building a proper portfolio, and then was able to get into one of the top ranked art schools in the country.

I think the PLC course is similar to the community college course you took, and I'm in a similar situation than you were.

Its a sketch, a 2 hour one at most, portfolios can include one or two sketches, but they need to mainly be made up of finished works, not quick things you threw together in a few hours. As you saw other kids had tons of stuff that is probably the result of years of work, you wont stand a chance if you expect to make the same amount of stuff in 2 weeks, art work just dosent work that way.

None of the art work I posted is for an art college. I do not have a portfolio, this was a submittance to a portfolio building course. Meaning that the year long course is to make a portfolio. I realise that is a sketch but I'm not planning on applying to a 3rd level art college with some sketches I threw together in two weeks.

Getting accepted is all talent, actually attending is where the money comes in. If you are really good (and i mean really fucking good) you can get in with scholarships. I was lucky enough to get full ride or enough money to allow me to attend the schools i applied to.

In Ireland we have free third level education with only small fees (in comparison to America).

Sorry, I forgot the link to the artwork :|

Link!

Yesterday, I went to an interview for a popular art portfolio preparation course.
It's been a bit of a busy year and I didn't have very much artwork to show them, so I sketched together some bits and bobs the week before and showed them, thinking 'this is a portfolio preparation course, no one will have completed or numerous works, or else they'd just go straight to art college!'

Well, needless to say I was wrong. Most people had an obscene amount of very talented works that I can't really compare to. The reason I started this thread is to get some feed back on the sketchwork I presented at the interview and to basickly hear what you guys think of my stuff.

I realise these are only sketches, but like I said this was a course to learn to put together a portfolio. I didn't expect to need to present finished works. If only all the other applicants agreed :/

Anyway, criticism and any pointers are more than welcome!

I'll give it a go! I'l email you something as soon as I have something rough done.

Too late to apply?
