I relate so much!! I’m from Brazil and we don’t really get to have art class in school so I feel so disadvantaged from people from first world countries 😅 So so glad you got in!! Good luck !!

When you said you realized you wanted to get into CalArts by the end of your junior year I swear I felt the same pain. I didn’t realize I wanted to go to art school until the end of sophomore year and I’m still scared as hell to apply in a few months. I’m no where near being able to feel confident in getting into this school. Still, It’s nice to see and be able to relate to someone. Congrats!!!

Your portfolio is so simple and effective in the best way possible , when I watch other portfolio videos I usually get confused and overwhelmed I come out still not understanding what I should do , but your video is so inspiring

I found this so inspiring

I was looking for a great example of a sketchbook and stumbled across this video and watched till the end. I can't wait to see where this journey takes you! Keep up the amazing work!

Your voice is so angelic! Congrats on getting into CalArts!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Love your portfolio!!! So inspiring

Your portfolio is so inspiring!!Thank you!!!

I’m actually a Burmese art student too except I’m from Singapore. Calarts was my dream as a kid but the fees were wayyy too high for me so i just settled for a local art school. Seeing you get accepted into all these amazing overseas art school is so inspiring to see and your works are so cool! Can’t wait to see more from you❤️

Thank you so much for uploading this video!! Looking at your portfolio was so inspiring:,)

Im subscribing to all the animators i come across, nice to see you.

Your creative mind is amazing, your detailed is beautiful and your skill is fantastic.🎉🎉 Congratulations on getting in. 🎉🎉 I really love your stuff can’t wait to see what else you will make!😁

Hi girl!!! First time hearing ur voice but I’m super happy u got into Cal arts!! Wayy ahead of someone ur age. Best of luck in Cali 🥳

amazing work :D

very nice work! :O

Your portfolio is awesome :D and congrats on getting into CA!! I’m a sophomore in HS rn and ringling has been my goal school since like the 5th grade 😭 I was wondering what grade you were In when you made most of these pieces? I’m not sure if I should be trying to build out a portfolio now or if I’m late to start 😅Also I’m looking to get into digital art and wondering what tablet/program you used. Whatever I have to do I’m just really committed and want to be In animation so badly! Thank you and congrats again :-))

OmG YOU are Amazing

can u make a video about how you created the video, digitalise the paper pieces ecc

I want to go to art school but I dont feel confident enough in my art, that and I have no net to fall back on if my art career doesnt go the way I expect. I've had a digital tablet for 3 years and I havent even begun to learn animation

Hi! Great video! Hopefully not the last one but I know you will be super busy from now on. I graduated from RISD and I noticed you said you don't know how you got into CalArts and maybe I can help? Obviously if you don't care about my opinion feel free to not read the rest, after all you didn't ask for it and it will probably be long-ish. I know when I got accepted into RISD I wanted to know why and wished someone gave me some ease of mind about that. Also maybe someone who is applying into an art school will read this and will help them idk. Also my opinions are only about commercial arts (illustration, animation, etc.) and even then are super broad so they will not apply to every single art school. STYLE: You mentioned that style isn't really important and I agree 100% A lot of people put a lot of effort into finding their style and ignore the fundamentals. They also fail to consider that a lot of very successful artists will have to learn how to mimic multiple art styles, especially in animation. FOUNDATION (fundamentals): You still have a lot of room to grow in terms of your foundation as an artist (which is perfectly acceptable as someone who hasn't even gone to art school, this isn't a criticism) but you do have the beginnings of a strong foundation which I don't think a lot of people have. I was actually surprised at what you thought your strongest and weakest pieces are because I thought the room interior design is actually lovely. It has a lot of personality and a decent grasp on perspective. A lot of people won't even attempt to get started on perspective or anatomy and the fact that you are already working on it is a big plus. STORY: This is a big one for CalArts' character design course and I would argue it's the strongest part of your portfolio. The character designs show that you are very familiar with that historic aesthetic which is very helpful in world building. Your background designs are specific enough to be from a believable world. Even your life studies show a lot of emotion while remaining pretty simple. Congrats on getting into CalArts! You really deserve it! If you wanna chat more about your portfolio or something you're working on lemme know!

congrats on getting into so many great schools !! i have a question - how do you do studies if the subjects are always moving? like your study of jiufen old street or your birds? i want to stop drawing environments from pictures but every time i draw moving subjects i get frustrated lmao

Hi! Congratulations on making it into CalArts! This video helps a lot. I was so stressed and this definitely helped. I do have a question if you don't mind. I want to apply but I do not know the difference between character and experimental animation. Can you help explain them to me please? Again, great portfolio and great video.

Foreign students have an advantage and priority to getting into cal arts , I’d recommend applying if you aren’t from America

hii, you are very talented! I wanna apply to calarts too but it’s very expensive. Can you talk about fafsa and financial things?

congrats on gettin in!! ive got one question. , just how much creative work do we need to submit for the portfolio?i understand u need at-least 15 drawings for the observational part of the portfolio but what about the creative work section? im having a difficult time understanding the portfolio part xd

Love your work! Where did you find the background music for your animatic?

Do you have to pay to study there? Student depth or anything? Cuz I'm getting intro this and thinking where to apply and I'm really confused about the payment

Do you think Calarts prefers if you have your creative works to be following one story line? I have heard people say that they like to see multiple ideas, but since you got in following one storyline, do you think that it is actually better to do it that way?

I'm from Cambodia a third world country too applying next year and just praying they won't pay too much attention to my study background 😅

We’re you good at animation before you applied? I do mediocre animatics and I’m not sure if I would be able to get into schools for animation

"Look how disappointed she is in me. As always!" Haha i needed that laugh thank you

Where did you usually find your figure models? I’m applying next year and I’m worried about how to find live models

What software did you use to make the animatic and the animations? And what would you recommend? I really want to get into the animation schools you got into and animation seems like a big bonus.

Hey question where did you go to draw figure studies? I have difficulties finding classes that allow minors

What app did you use to make a portfolio? or rather, what's the best app, tool etc. for making an art portfolio?

What was the amount of scholarship money you received?

Isn't Calarts very expensive? Or like, there's any scholarships for international students? 😭 I really want to go to Calarts but I'm from third world + no money lol abdhsj

Hi, may I ask how long you worked on this portfolio?
