I want to start by thanking everyone who took the time to create any form of documentation of their portfolio process. Each website, YouTube video, and social media post helped me immensely. I have so much gratitude for those who took the time to create content for applicants. It really is a blessing to have a community dedicated to helping each other succeed.
The two wonderfully talented artists I always found myself returning to were Terry Ibele and Sophie Corbett! Both of them created very insightful websites with some great suggestions on how to help yourself make good portfolio pieces. They were the ones who inspired me to create my website because, with their work, I was much more educated about the task I was taking on, and I want to provide that to others. Sophie's website can be found here. She also has a YouTube video with great commentary; I highly recommend studying her portfolio. She has a unique and fun art style, fantastic tips, and documented experiences with her time in art fundamentals + tutoring. Terry's website can be found here. Not only does he have a great website, but he also runs a fantastic podcast called AIP (Animation Industry Podcast), which is all about, you guessed it, the animation industry! During portfolio season, I became a massive fan of Terry's. I cannot get enough of his podcast, humour, and, of course, his fantastic stop-motion work. These days, I'm still listening to his podcast every morning while I work out at the gym- if you still need to check it out, this is your sign! If any of my future classmates/current animation students are reading this and you would like to share resources that helped you during portfolio season- you can comment them onto this post or fill out my form below and I will make a blog post about it on your behalf! Happy Learning! :) KJ
