that awkward moment when you already must have incredible art skills to study in an art school.

What the heck? I thought this video came from a really big channel since this was so high quality

dude i was watching this thinking you were some big art youtuber because of how nice the video looked, but then i looked and saw that i followed you and you only have 26 subs?!?! what is this madness

I must say, your breakdown of an accepted portfolio is the best I've seen by far (I've watched about a dozen) and I think it is largely because you breakdown the why, the prompt, the concept, and the thought process rather than just showing us what you made. Many of us need the whole picture on this process not just the picture itself and you delivered that nicely and concisely. Well done.

I'm not even applying to any art schools (my major is computer science and I do art as a hobby) but I loved the editing in this video and while I can't really use any of the info to my benefit, it was really entertaining to watch!

This is definitely one of the most useful portfolio videos I've seen. I love how you explained the reason and thought behind every single piece. It's also amazing to see how much passion you have for art. As just started to work on my own portfolio to apply for animation programs, it helped me a ton. Thank you!

I was kinda happy you accepted CalArts instead of RISD. It seems like they expected so much of applicants that when they do see the most amazing portfolio, all they do is look for the imperfections. It was cool to see that you chose a program that you wanted and was cheaper over something that is considered amazing mostly for its selectivity and prestige.

oh my god your portfolio is amaaazing!! im attending RISD this year and its a shame that i wont see u, but im sure youll do wonderful things at calarts *o*

Okay.. not only is the video well made but the quality of the art work is insane.. how are you only entering college? Props to you for being so talented/hardworking and well versed both in the arts and your video.

You should be teaching at RISD rather that being taught at RISD! Very impressed with your artwork, your articulation and your tech skills - wow!

Ah! RISD is a literal 15 minute walk from my campus! I always see the RISD students walking around (there’s even a RISD building right in front of my campus) and I’ve always wondered what it took to get accepted. I would love to be friends with a RISD student bc my perception of them is so artsy and aesthetic. And I absolutely love art, it’s a shame that I stopped making it. I’ve been to the RISD museum a couple times and I absolutely love all the displayed art of the students as well as the art from various famous painters. Your art is so beautiful and it’s no wonder you got accepted!

i’m a freshman in high school and my dream college is risd. the level of skill you have scares me 😳 guess i better keep practicing!!

this is definitely my favorite risd portfolio - and even art portfolio for that matter - ever! your work is so clean and crisp and i love your almost-commercial art style! i especially like your character 2d designs, which makes sense you're going into animation! i'm so excited to see where your art takes you, you're definitely gonna make it big!

1:22 My friend and I were actually at the contest that this was submitted in hehe. Congrats on that and your art is amazing^^

I love hearing your through process behind each painting! It adds another layer on instead of just the "oh, pretty!" that most people associate with art.

You only have two videos out so far but I’m in LOVE with your videos and art😂😂. Love the way you’re so articulate and give out pointers to people who are interested in submitting their portfolio in addition to how clean your camera shots are

i think this is my favorite art school portfolio video ever. it's so raw and honest and human and relatable in ways i cannot express in words.

This was the best art portfolio I've seen throughout KZfaq, I'm so impressed and inspired. Your video has the best quality and I love how it was edited. Your portfolio was so versatile, I love the way you had a story behind your artwork, being fluent in both digital and traditional art, painting a still life perfectly while also being an amazing designer, I love your piece "If Love Please Return Home," and both of your response to the assignment is amazing, from the design to how it was carried out. I could never created 3D or physical crafts. You will go so far!

You're probably my biggest inspiration of an artist, so I'm very thankful for this type of video! I absolutely adore your artstyle and the way you portrait art, by explaining, analyzing or just appreciating it. Thank you once again and I wish you the very best!!!! 💗💗💗

This is literally the best video about portfolio, it's not that long and to the point. Thank you for your hard work!

This content is amazing and so high quality. So glad to be here before you blow up

Art school is like a hug and a slap. 🤣 I loved it but boy it was hard! Physically, mentally, emotionally. It’s amazing when you start to discover who you are as an artist and you go through many phases on your artistic journey ❤️

Wow. Your art is stunning! And I love that you explained your work so thoroughly. Best breakdown of work ever! I love the concepts too!

I’m glad your channel blew up. Your videos are really high quality and I can tell you actually care. Imma subscribe.

ive been watching portfolio vids for like 3 years and this one is my favorite you are sososo great

All the of the work was interesting and very well explained!! But oh my god, the plaster cast drawing/charcoal!?!? It was beautiful-it may have been a show of your technical skill, but as soon as I saw it, I gasped! It reminded me of Bernini and gosh the just angle of the face and the cast shadows!!! It tickles all my art fancies.

Woah. This video is all sorts of visually pleasing. You’ve edited it SO WELL!! More importantly though, I’m such a huge fan of your art. I absolutely love your pieces, they’re all so beautiful!! Crazy to think you’re so young. Congratulations of getting into RISD and CalArts, good luck!

Your portfolio is so well rounded and each piece is so well finished that I just cant get enough:)

As a RISD alum I'm sorry that RISD wasn't your pick (we'd be lucky to have you), but I'm happy that you got in multiple great art schools and you made your informative decision. 👏👏👏

This is the best portfolio video I've seen on KZfaq! Your artworks are amazing, but I also love that you guide the viewers through your works with the thought processes behind those works and your decision to include them in your portfolio in such a fine, concise way.

both of your assignment pieces are AMAZING oh my god I am blown away.

Well, I thought I’d be able to get into an art school, but I guess not

this is phenomenal thank you so much !!!! I'm bingewatching RISD portfolio vids right now for guidance on starting my slideroom thing; I really appreciate this !!!!!

your pieces are very smart and well-executed (especially the 2 'error' ones). literally amazing!!

This video is so helpful! I'm going into my junior year of high school and I'll be taking my first of two AP Art Portfolio classes and I'm beginning to think about what I want my portfolio to look like when I'm applying to colleges. This was so good at explaining portfolio setups and you gave some great tips! I need all the advice I can get or find so thank you!

"rules to follow" are my strengths

ur editing skills are dope and this protfolio gave me so much inspiration

Holy fick watching this inspires and discourages me at the same time lmao absolutely insane what an amazing artist

I love your art so much and I hope you post a lot more videos and your journey in art school! Good luck sis

I am not here for portfolio work but i cant stop watching your videos. Your layouts and compositions in videos are amazing!!!!!

what i love about this portfolio is that it's definetly a more simplistic, humble vibe. i love niche art, but seeing so many portfolios exclusively show of technical or detailed prowess kind of discouraged me because i like bigger pictures. so, this portfolio singlehandedly reminded me that art is more than just "being the best"- it's about telling a story.

Thank you so much for the behind the scenes ending. I needed that assurance.

This is so inspiring!! As a young artist who wants to go into animation and storytelling this is super useful! 🤠

I’m so glad you got the subs you deserve now but I hope you get so many more in the future you’re incredible!!!

I cant even begin to say how amazing this was

you are going places. I got chills watching this- you are talented.

Incredible video! So high quality! Thank you so much!

Please make more videos, you’re very skilled with story telling. That piece of the market is so inspiring.

Your work is honestly so so inspiring, thank you so much for sharing your portfolio!!

This opened my eyes to a lot in terms of art in general, and just how much of art, down to the negative space is technical and should be used purposefully where possible. Its daunting, but pleasant to know I still have a ton to learn

I really like your artworks!! Your ideas are amazing! Thanks for making video💕

this portfolio is just phenomenal! the quality of this video too! can’t wait for more

This was so beautifully made, well done. You'll go places :)

Wow you’re art is truly amazing! I’m glad I’ve found you’re channel

immediately subscribed when i saw that QUALITY ♥️♥️😳

Hi! Times have sure changed! I attended Art Center College of Design, & CalArts, in the 1970s, & I wasn't even aware of producing a portfolio. I just put whatever home & school artworks were around into a big, paper portfolio. I did not make pieces just for an applications portfolio. I see how different things are, & now in the computer era, even harder. You've done so well! 😊

Wow you are truly amazing,The art and the video are flawless

Your art is simply breathtaking

i study business psych and only do art as a hobby but your portfolio is simply beautiful and incredibly inspiring! good luck on your journey!

i love the way you use colors so much

very cool. I liked hearing about your graphic design piece and the glitchy aspect. pretty and unique. I also liked your departure piece.

Amazing work and quality video! Definitely subscribing and eagerly awaiting future videos! This whole video is just so peaceful and encouraging too 🥰

YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST. I hope more people will find your channel and be inspired like I did ❣

*the editing on this is so good*

Look forward to seeing more videos from you!

I was extremely impressed by your art. You were so talented by the age of mine. I was totally surprised by your mixed media piece of art "if lost, return home". I had thought that there should be paper art or digital art only in portfolio. I am also dreaming to enroll CalArts and Sheridan Uni and I am preparing for it. Your video helps me a lot, you showed me how an accepted portfolio of my dream school looks like. Thanks you so much from Vietnam

woww the editing in this video is so so cool ahhhh

I went to Parsons back in the nineties. I think the competition for these schools is much harder now. I don't know if I could get in again if I tried.

i love your sweet dreams piece so much and i did felt what you’re trying to convey by the piece 🥺🧡

Need more vids from you! This was amazing!

your portfolio is so good, every piece was amazing! :D

i feel the exact same way about school assignments omg!! the frustration i felt all year when one of our teachers would just give us “free theme and technique”

Your artwarks are so amazing!

this inspired me to take drawing seriously again. thank you! i look forward to seeing your channel grow!

OMG thank you so much for sharing and expecting to see more ur incredible art work!!!

Thank you for sharing your process with us!

Thank you so much for this! I'm still in high school and to get a scholarship from my dream school I need to nail the entrance exam and the portfolio. I still have two more years before college so I'm researching as much as I can. Thank you so much for this video, just recently subbed. 😊

You deserve more subs and you just earned my sub. Make more videos when you can please!!! Your vids are so satisfying :(( the editing is on point!!

first time seeing this kind of video style!! sO in AWE thats SO COOL!! u earned a sub!!

beautiful video!!!! Your art is lovely, thank you for sharing 💖

Thank u for sharing what they liked and didn’t like a lot of the other youtubers just show and explain

Some really fantastic works and a artist in the works ;) hope everything's going well at calarts!

Art and GD use the rule of 3’s, to call it your own you need to significantly change at least 3 important aspects, styles etc to call it your own. Great video!

This video and your art are amazing!

Your art is amazing-no doubt that you'll go very far w or w out risd

Your work is incredible 🤩

I really like your art work! Great job!

Ahh now I'm sad cuz you only have 2 films, I was so ready to binge watch :)

thank you so much for this, this video motivated me so much and i really want to go to risd

wow! your going to be great at calarts❤

The overall content is wholesome

Very professional videos 👏👏👏 fabulous work..from England

omg😮i love your still life painting!!!!!!🐖👏🏻🥰

i really like this video and the portfolio especially the 3D work a tip to prospective students-don’t feel like you need to do a specific type of art i applied with 0 landscapes , still life, or figure drawings and i still got in. my advice is to embrace your own unique style but still make sure you have some variety in visual and conceptual approach ...you don’t necessarily need to check boxes of “types of art”

This was so great to watch, your portfolio is incredible (I'm particularly impressed with the Evolution piece because I find conceptual art very difficult) and I loved the open, honest way in which you shared information-very helpful. Thanks!

you did really amazing works.

could look at your art all day wow

I realized that I want to become a full-time artist even though i know it’s going to be hard to attract others to see how talented I am. I have a lot of support but there are certain people that do not agree with my decision. I want to own small business and make comic books, sell art ,and make merchandise for a living. I don’t know if college is for me though, I might go to a community college for a small associates degree, but some careers aren’t meant for a degree. Unless you want to work for a company I guess. But honestly, if your portfolio is hella great and “they” ( employer) see you have lots of potential in your art work. Whoever the business is, they’ll hire you before they’ll hire someone who went to school for 4 years studying art and made a decent portfolio. It doesn’t happen to everyone though, but it happens. I’m taking a gap year to get myself and portfolio together.

Well done. Very entertaining and informative

Your portfolio is absolutely stunning! Wish you the best luck from a freshman in SVA :)
