Of ALL the portfolio videos I've seen, I've never found a video as encouraging or even as well put together as yours. The admissions officer must've also seen how special you were. Your art, this video, its all so very beautiful. Thank you so much for inspiring me!

this was so lovely to watch - you've got a wonderful sense of design, but what stood out to me the most was how you framed the video around the journey instead of the final results. all the best with your studies! i'm excited to see how your art evolves 💛

the idea of "enjoying rather than enduring" is something I have struggled with rationalizing and justifying. thinking that it was wrong and too hasty off me to quit a part of my life that I had been doing for years and put so much effort in, having everyone judge me and view me as a quiter made me really feel really guilty. but something about hearing what I've been wanting put so simply comforted me, so thank you. also, your art is so beautiful!!

You've just created one f the most brilliant portfolio videos I've seen in KZfaq and I'd like to thank you for that. The positivity and encouraging mood of the video really helps with this anxiety-filled process :>

I’m currently an art major in college and I have been going through an art slump. I’m glad to stumble over your video. I really forgot the joy of creating art these days. I love how your art really gives me an idea of your interests and passion. Your advice was simple yet very helpful. Thank you so much ☺️.

Gurl, this video is singlehandedly the reason I got into RISD. I was in a similar spot as you - halfway through high school with nothing to show for it art-wise. But knowing someone else was in a similar spot yet still managed to get there was really inspiring !! So thanks so much for making this video

Your "assignment" project was very amazing, more specifically in how you translated the phenomenon into a tangible product. ☺

So incredible that you learned the lesson of trusting yourself and your priorities so early on in life!! It took me until I was 26 with a couple of degrees in things I didn’t care about to have the courage to pursue a creative career. I think you’ll go far with this healthy mindset, I’m so happy for you! I love seeing talented young people thrive :)

I think this is the best portfolio video I’ve seen so far on KZfaq... thank you very much!

this is the MOST helpful video... and i've been binged a lot. thank you!

I can’t express how much joy and excitement culminated as I watched this. You are an amazing and such a creative person! Thank you for sharing your pieces and a huge milestone in your life!

i'm a senior in high school, trying to get into risd, with hardly any of my portfolio done as of september of my senior year. i've felt like giving up so many times, but this video is giving me hope that i can make it- and i want to make it, more than anything. thank you for giving me hope.

This video is so encouraging! Thank you for all the work you've put into it🥰

I want to start saying thank you. This video was SO inspiring. I’m aiming to pursuit a master degree in Fine Art since art has always been something important on my life but never something that o believed I could do. My graduation is fairly unrelated to art so I’m scared of not been “good enough” to enter the school that I want. Listening to your saying that you pieces were done in 6 months, your explanations, your inspirations… everything was incredible, besides the great music and editing. Thank you for doing this, I’m sure many others are inspired by that like me 💖

Looking at this made me realize that the world is filled with extremely talented people!! Best of luck girl!! Hope you achieve more in your life ahead❤❤❤ love this so much

That is easily one of the most interesting and inspiring portfolio i've seen in a while. Love your use of colour. I'm amazed by the way you did your assignment.

I have to say, I am going through almost the same exact thing you went through. I suddenly fell in love with art again during my sophomore year, but I had done so much for academics and other areas that I felt obliged to not completely switch what I want to do. But I decided to take the risk and make a portfolio to try for art school. You really inspired me to keep going and putting in my best effort because I sometimes feel like I can't do it because I started so late. Thank you for sharing this and I wish you best of luck on your journey :)

Listening to your journey really reassured me that I'm doing the right thing. Just like you, I always loved art and wanted to be an artist. And my mom was fine with that until I got to highschool and she realized I *actually* to go into art and that it wasn't just a little kid's dream. She convinced me that I was too smart to not go into a STEM field (engineering), that artists are doomed to poverty, and that I would start enjoying engineering because I would be good at it. In my senior year, I did a dual enrollment program at a community college where I took the first year courses required for an engineering associate's and I did the worst I've ever done in school for a variety of reasons. But I think the biggest reason was that my heart wasn't in it. Even so, I kept telling myself "just a couple more years," "you'll make lots of money," "you like math, so you'll like engineering." It wasn't until recently, when I had the worst suicidal thoughts I've ever had that I realized *something* had to change. I felt that I had nothing to look forward to in life and that I would never be happy. But then I remembered... I'm an artist. And as soon as I entertained the idea of dropping everything I was doing and going back to art, I started feeling a prickle of hope again. And I want to chase that feeling to wherever it will take me. And if that's a dumb decision, so be it. I'm tired of feeling apathetic about my life. I'm terrified and ecstatic at the same time. I'm not sure what I should do next, but I think that art school is probably a good place to start. I didn't mean to share my whole life story, but I saw a lot of myself in you and that felt so comforting. Thank you.

You’ve come so far in this journey and it’s only the beginning I’m so freaking proud of you!! 💗

This video was so motivating for me. The story you told in the beginning of the video is exactly what I’m going through, like to a T. I’m a sophomore, and finally admitted to myself that I don’t like the sport I’m playing and never did. But simply continued it out of obligation and people always saying I have talent. This video is exactly what I need

thank u for inspiring me to have more fun and be more confident in my art!

I love your art and editing style, so refreshing

the hero we always needed. I had no idea what style to write in for the slideroom description

This was very helpful! Thank you!! It was also for informative and inspiring and look forward to seeing more videos from you :))

thank you so much for this video!! i'm about to graduate on college here in brazil and i've been considering getting a graphic design mfa overseas, so risd is, like, one of the best options for me :') although i really want to persuit a career on the illustration field, i find a lot of comfort in graphic design, so seeing how you combined two of my favorite "worlds" was really really helpful. your work is amazing and so is your kind soul!

Your art is amazing omg! And i really love this video...im having an identity crisis and was about to join the NAVY because i had no idea what to do with my life after graduating last year. Everyone encouraged me to go to art school but i really felt like I wouldn't be good enough. But my boyfriend really talked me into it so hopefully I can get into RISD. Thank you for the eye opening video. Your amazing

bru those paintings play and solitude are so sick so sick great video btw

I’m a senior currently creating my portfolio to submit to various different art schools, I was feeling very unmotivated and unsure of the strength of my skill compared to others my age. However I fail to realize the beauty and creativity that comes with genuine enjoyment of creation rather than photo realism. Seeing this portfolio full of gorgeous abstract pieces helped me tons.

this video gave me confidence to apply for an art major even more. i can't lie i was losing motivation and felt like giving up but i think i'll work harder now! thank you

i wanna give you a tight hug! a person with ture intentions gets something which they want. i learnt that watching from you. i'm in 2nd year of junior high school, and just 2 months ago i decided i want to pursue art for sure. since i'm a perfectionist(i know i shouldn't label myself), i tend to match the standards of other people's artworks. but all the RISD porfolio's i saw, the work is so individual and personal to them and it somehow frightens me. i'm taking a year off next year and try my best to blossom more. since i'm an international student, i'm kinda taken aback because of college fees, but that shouldn't stop me from trying!!!!

this video is made amazing. you're really talented

You need more subscribers asap!! Your art and editorial skills are amazing ♡

this really spoke to me. exactly what i went through. thank you for giving me the confidence to overcome❤❤

i’ve watched countless portfolio videos to help inspire some pieces for my own portfolio and i have to say yours is my favorite!! i knew i would like the video immediately from the style and i loved all your artwork. thank you for the inspiration and keep making incredible artwork

thank you for this video! its super motivating as someone with just a year to prepare after doing a complete 180 and deciding on art school, your positivity is amazing

This video is so relatable and I loveee your work so much, it's so amazing 😍you really motivated me ✨

your work is insane i love it

You just have inspired me to take my art supplies and try something

This video was so helpful and beautifully made!! (P.S. I’m your 300th subscriber wooo)

WOW you are so creatively focused and talented!!!

I really wanna draw their kaleidoscope one 😭😭 it's so beautiful

this is so beautiful, wow!!

Such an amazing video 🥺😭🤍

That AP Chem score tho 😩 also your voice is so calming

At first i was surprised that ur video already have ads considering ur channel only have almost 400 subs. And then i was hooked by how u tell ur story on the artworld. So inspiring for me, by the way, i am a very very very late bloomer in art(i'm an accounting graduate and also had religious education, i don't have any art school education, already 61 yrs old, i love art but experienced much procrastination). Thank you so much for this video, now i know why youtube decided to put ads on this inspite of 300+ subs. I definitely subscribed on your channel, again thank u for the inspirations. 😊👍 (I am not sure if I'm your 399th or 400th subscriber bec. when i viewed this video i checked that ur channel has 398subs but with ads at the start of the vid already)

I love this!

Omg I have never related more to someone. I also got into RISD but for the year of 2021 and I also dropped everything I was doing Junior year of highschool in order to pursue my art. I had been doing the IB program for three years at that point and I dropped it. Similar to what you said everyone advised against it but I knew what was right for me. Also, I went through a really traumatic mental breakdown between 8th grade to 10th grade and it was hell to get through. I didn't enjoy art for so long and I lost myself in the process. There are still remnants that effect me to this day. I am really happy to see that I am not the only one that experienced this journey!! Thank you for this!

thank you so much for your video its inspired me greatly :)

Wow this is amazing!

You’re amazing! This video just gave me a really nice push. I was declined from art uni last year, when all my teachers had been telling me i’d make it no matter what. it came as a big slap when i did all the leves of acception (you need to pass three exams for art uni in my country) and at the end, i got declined. i am retrying this year, and i had the biggest anxiety about art this year. your work just gave me a very much needed inspiration and comfort. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and work.

Awwww I love this

I want to write a really nice message on how much this video means to me, but I’m a weeping mess rn. I relate so much to you, except that I’ve chosen my major and am currently in med school, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I definitely enjoy it but I don’t think I was given this life for ONE THING, I can’t be my degree or my job I’m more than that, and I’m still on that self discovery path this video touched me in ways I can’t explain. I got in touch with my art side during the lockdown without knowing how to draw a straight line on my screen and a year later I’m working on 3D designs and animations. Visual arts is my safe place where I can create and in creating is my self identify so it feels SO GREAT omg I’m ranting rn but I just wanted to leave a comment 🥺💞 you’re precious thank you got sharing, was initially going to skip to the time stamps but girl thank you, love your video editing and everything!!! 💞💞💞

brainstorm is wonderful

oh my god i was watching the video and I almost choked when I heard the word BTS haahahaha. It's so good to see such talented ARMYs

super good video!

Omg, I litterly watch porfolio videos, because after highschool I want to apply to Art University, but I haven't gone to any art schools ect. Altho some say that Im skillful in art, thats not enough, I applied to some courses that that University organizes, but still I was scared how can I make my pirfolio in 2 years and make it stand out between all those pro artist kids who have been drawing from an early age. You gave me hope, thank you really much!

thank you for uploading, love your portfolio!! your art is really inspiring, do you think you'll use youtube for more process/art videos in the future? i'd love to see it!

I love this video thank u

I plan on studying architecture and this video has really given me inspiration for my portfolio, I love your art style and aesthetic!

Woah

I loved your video

as a young artist, thank you.

300 VIEWS QUEENNDGFHDHDHSSS 🥳🥳 loved all your pieces❤️💜💕

Just started working on my portfolio the other day, so nervous

i’ve never related more

YAY OKAY why did i just see this:,)

Hey, I think I had similar experience, I used to love art until I got into highschool. I was really pre occupied into school organizations, school works and others that I made very little progress on my art (I did made art but most of them are a collaboration project I directed). Now I really want to get into art school to persue product design but barely had and art suppliment to submit this december. Should I rush making my art porto or just not submit any?

hello, thanks for great informative video. i just want to ask a few questions: 1. How did you come up with these ideas, where did you take inspiration from? 2. what we need in a good portfolio? 3. can i prepare portfolios in 3 months for foundation programs, what are your recommendations for applying foundation programms? 4. Can we also show them our works that we did in our sketchbooks? should i go over the requirements when it comes to number of portfolios? should i submit as much as i want if they are so beautiful? Thanks in advance...

I thought I still had two weeks for my portfolio so I had time to do like one or two more paintings... But I have to hand it in tomorrow. I literally have no time :') and i technically have enough time to paint at least one thing but I'm just so blocked rn I can't even create a single thing rn because I'm so nervous

Chúc cả nhà ăn ngon miệng nha ❤🙆‍♂️

Do you think colleges look for someone who knows what they have planned for each page of their sketchbook because that is definitely not me also how do you take your photos of your art

your portfolio is amazing, but I still want to ask that it seems that you draw most of your illustrations on procreate. Is it okay to draw on pad instead of real paper for RISD application?

I'm about to enter this school ( 8ty year) and I'm trying to get a scholarship 😣😣 hope I get it
