I really enjoyed your tips and tricks and hearing your feedback for these amazing artist! I’m going to review my thumbnails and see how I can keep things more dynamic, exciting and but keeping it simple! Anyway thank you so much!
Really love this series of Portfolio critique. ❤Love so much the way you give advice for the improvement. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks for all the applicant sending their work onto your channel. Learn a lot from others’ portfolio , so interesting to see someone’s thoughts through the sequence and flow of the whole portfolio work.
thankyou!! This was so helpful, I can't wait to try displaying my character drawings on a sheet dynamically! (I just never thought about it that way before)
This give me more ideas as an outlooks on the expressions and out looks to the character design over all. Such good criticism and would love to show her some of my personal characters for good advice/reference.
I would so love more videos like this!! I’m still working on my art and portfolio so there isn’t too much on it but your advice has definitely helped so far
I think japanese comics and anime blessed me with the ability to design highly creative and dynamic characters. American cartoons are generally painfully generic and I find them to be poor sources of inspiration/reference. Kinda remind me of cereal box characters just simply meant to convey a simplified human with nothing else to pop out for the viewer.
I totally get what you mean here and agree but anime as of late has been just as boring and generic. Perfect example is the original Digimon cast designs versus Digimon Tri.. Its a skill issue. Simple characters means easy drawing for less experienced animators, thus less money spent..
Loved seeing you ding fanart. I have really tried to emphasize to young artists that having most of your design choices made for you doesn't help you design better characters, and that art directors and such are not going to be impressed by fanwork/anime motifs. Fanart is okay in the exploration stage and definitely teaches you how to steal in the "great artists steal" context, but there's no replacement for drawing from life and exploring your own shapework. Lot of really nice work in these.
@@corvusmonedula Oversaturated, and an artistic crutch for many. Most people who draw "just anime" can't draw from life and have poor design skills. Sooner or later you have to let it go and start exploring. Anime makes all of your design choices for you and it shows. If you draw anime like all the other ten thousand submitting their portfolio, you're gong to give some things away about your skillset that might not make you look good. EDIT: And also, when you say Japanese Art style, you're not talking about Edo sum-i-e.
@@coyoteclockworkstudios3140 It's biased to judge people just on that. You can say that about every style. No matter if cartoon, Tumblr style, comic, Disney, etc if you only draw in one style and never experiment you won't get very far with your art. Anime is great for getting people into art that's why so many people use it but like you said at one point you have to get out of your comfort zone to improve and grow. With Japanese Art style I was referring to your comment about Anime, but I'm not sure why your asking since you talked about Anime in your response
@@corvusmonedula "It's biased to judge people just on that." I have bad news for you: art directors are biased. And unless you are specifically submitting your portfolio for anime character design, you're going to run into trouble. You also said "What's wrong with the Japanese Art style?" in your previous comment, as if I was condemning all art from Japan instead of just anime. The two are not interchangeable. In fact, the majority of Japanese art is NOT anime, and I doubt the majority of anime enthusiasts can name pieces or styles outside of it. My original comment said young artists need to move away from fanart and anime. The sooner the better. It's fine to have it as an influence, but don't submit it, as the person in this video literally says. If that's biased or unfair, well, you're already competing with the best professionals at the top of their game. That's not fair either, but it's reality.
Good point, though I think dinging anime as a whole is slightly unfair. I agree with your comment that it can be a crutch to compensate for poor fundamentals, but in that case the real problem lies in having poor fundamentals, not the style it’s packaged in. I’d say relying too heavily on any style without developing an artistic voice or draftsmanship is a bad idea, and it’s always beneficial to broaden your horizons and take influence from new things. So I’m not disagreeing with you outright, just thought I’d add a little bit of nuance to the discussion.
The way you discribed "how to have a efficient portfolio" in general terms is the best part of the video. So thank you a lot for this content, is really interesting
Question, that may sound a little dumb, but do you have to know how to animate super well in order to become a character designer? What are the qualities of a character designer that the industry is looking for?
Genuine question maybe you or a commenter can answer. But you mention a lot of times about showing exaggerated expressions for character design. But, how would you tackle shower a characters expressions if that character tends to be less expressive or more mute. We all have emotions, but what if you wanted to convey someone who was more reserved with emotions closed off or never highly exaggerated by personality?
(I'm using google translate so sorry if the grammar is weird) I would like to know more your opinion about fanarts. in my opinion fanart like redesigns, a complex illustration with composition, or drawing media with real people is a good alternative for those who still don't have the copyright of their original characters and are afraid of having their work stolen. (aka me) I also think that maybe drawing fanarts the way I said above also shows your inspirations and that you are aware of animation media too, because after all when we receive some work we will spend almost all the time drawing characters that are not ours . What are your views on my opinion? I would love to know! =)
I´m 36 and I want to work in illustration. I start to learn recently, but I don't care if people says that I'm to old. So... do you have some advice to focus and improve? apart of practice =)
There really isent a time limit on art, dont get bogged down on other peoples critism unless its constructive. Im not a profetional but ive been drawing for a litle over decade now, i would say focus on compotision and perspective. Even if you are going for character design those two can really strengthen your art. In any case just make sure that you are having fun, i hope you get the job you want!
IP is an abbreviation of Intellectual Property, which is usually some form of copyrighted material, a design, a name, a setting, etc. Like Homestuck is Andrew Hussie's IP. Banksy's works are his IP. Taylor Swift's songs are her IP. Middle Earth is the IP of JRR Tolkien. Superman is an IP.
@@geoffreychauvin1474even if they aren’t, these ppl sent their art in for tips so I think they just want to know how to improve further with they layout their portfolio
@@geoffreychauvin1474well clearly they’re good enough because she’s been in some of the biggest studios in the world, I mean Disney and Nickelodeon aren’t small companies.
I feel like roasting someone only really works if the person doing the roasting is good at what they're doing? This feels like Amy Schumer level of "comedy" when doing a typical roast in comparison.
This isn't a roast; it's a critique of portfolio's submitted to this creator to get opinions on their work. You don't have to be good at something to be able to identify a problem and potential solution.
OMG why aren't there woman , like our beautiful and talented host here, that find themselves in the places that I wonder. (Well she's probably being pretty and talented while practicing her skills at home) I always find the keeping up with the kardashians or cheaters super fans running up seconded only to south boston 'southie sober' chicks that only smokoe weed nows cause they are in A.A. sorry just a passing thought about the characters in my life
Damn now i want a portfolio. And the ability to organize art. And the ability to organize.
Same
And the ability to art.
@@alfredb2036 same
and the ability to afford the costs
It always surprises me when I go to check out their portfolios and they haven't taken your sage advice. This is literally GOLD.
What’s sage advice?
@@taliaj6483 It means like, wise advice
I def would love to see another one of these. I need to get a portfolio together soon :)
same, these are really fun to watch
11:03 thing is, it's also fun to make characters who are more subtle, especially bigger characters, little soft giants that could be shy and subtle
AWESOME!!!! I love that you're doing this now, once I actually create a portfolio I will %100 be sending in mine.
Same
Great critiques!!! I learned so much
These critiques are really helpful and I hope to see more of them :D
I could watch you analizing designs/portfolio all day, this is amazing.
this is so amazing, thank you for taking the time to make this and help other artists out.
I really enjoyed your tips and tricks and hearing your feedback for these amazing artist! I’m going to review my thumbnails and see how I can keep things more dynamic, exciting and but keeping it simple! Anyway thank you so much!

I like ur pfp :D
Amazing analysis! That shows how important it is for portfolio to be pleasing to the eye

This is the second video i watch from you and i already LOOOVE YOUR CONTENT!!! Thank you so much🥰🥰
Revisiting this video!! I'm glad that I am able to point out the changes here better than last year... shows that I am improving :D
Your advice is very helpfull, thank you for doing this series!

American cartoons are generally painfully generic and I find them to be poor sources of inspiration/reference. Kinda remind me of cereal box characters just simply meant to convey a simplified human with nothing else to pop out for the viewer.
I disagree, I think they are both as dynamic and creative as the other, they are just for different cultures and people.
Opposit for me
I totally get what you mean here and agree but anime as of late has been just as boring and generic. Perfect example is the original Digimon cast designs versus Digimon Tri.. Its a skill issue. Simple characters means easy drawing for less experienced animators, thus less money spent..
That's not necessarily true you have boring chracter designs and dynamic chracter designs in both mediums.
Your opinion is trash

Very very interesting, I learned a lot thank you :D
Really is helping me with character composition
Def taking notes, this is so helpful even if it’s not my portfolio
The way you discribed "how to have a efficient portfolio" in general terms is the best part of the video. So thank you a lot for this content, is really interesting
Useful and straightforward feedback, the best kind 👌
These videos make me want to put together an art portfolio. I’m not even trying to get an art related job 😭
As someone who is strrrruggling to do an character portfolio this helped so much!!
Wow really good and informative content!!! 10/10
I was really impressed with the last artist
So much great, practical advice. Thank you so much !
This is great! ❤️

super helpful
thank you I learned a lot !
11:09 this character seems pretty stiff on his own but it kinda fits him
Could you do portfolio review again?
ONLY 16K VIEWS???!? GIRL YOU DESERVE MORE!!!
Thanks for this!!!

I think if it exists as 2d art, fan art should stay off your portfolio. But canary is great and fun practice!
Super interesting!!

I have a bunch of character designs but I struggle with poses 😭
what your opinion of turnaround line up vs the animated gif, should a portfolio only have or the other or can have both?
Does anybody knows of a course that teaches step by step how to design exagerated characters (in both pose and expressions)?
