Ok to some of you it doesn't sound that important

but to me it is!
Thursday late at night, I was looking at small collages in CT hoping to find some kind of summer art program (hoping it would be better the what happened a couple weeks ago *grumble* but thats a differ story, if you all wanna hear it its a long rant)and at one of the collages they were doing a open portfolio review on Saturday! So after school Friday (after panicking all day at school) i printed out some of my animal drawings, some photoshop things i did when i was bored (i might upload them later) and my linolium prints (again might upload later, i believe *
babydragon11 has hers in her gallery)and slapped them in a portfolio book.
As you can see, i didn't have that much time (although some might dissagree) cuz i only had friday night to make it cuz i had to help my aunt out with my cousin's b-day party from the time i woke up till i had to leave for the review
On a side note for all who dont know my bro, hes probably the worst critic there is, i think hes worst then that guy on Americen idol, so living with him my whole life im pretty immune to any insult there is to my art (which is why you all should critique my art ><
Ok, so we get to the extremly small collage and went to the place there where doing the reveiw. And the guy seems nice enough (which mind you i found out later hes not the "love your art" kind of guy) and the FIRST thing he says is im pretty young to do this (*grumble*) but he does say after going through the portfolio it was very mature
EXCEPT he kindof went on a small rant because i did a photoshop copy of sora from Kingdom hearts and he sees him in like EVERY portfolio (so being a smart ass, after he was about to go on a second rant about it i took it out of the porfolio to shut him up

so much for me being mature)
So heres some stuff i learned:

Put only like 12 things in the portfolio (i had like 30

)

Go from worst drawing to best in the portfolio

Have a introduction (like your name, quick paragraph on what is in the portfolio, stuff like that on the first page)

DO NOT PUT FAMOUS CHARACTERS IN THERE

DONT TALK unless told to (cuz every time i said something or did something he attacked me)

Put some real drawings in there not all scan copies
I think it was funny cuz i think he was trying to make me cry cuz he mentioned 2 or 3 times that he wouldn't be suprised if some of his students broke down crying in the middle of class.
Overall he liked my art and if i wasn't a souphmore i would probably be excepted

. But its a small school like 300 students a year or something so idk if it means anything

So i probably will be doing allot of these portfolio review things in the near future. i just though it would be nice for you all to know im alive^^
thats all for now

sorry for the long journal
