how to make a portfolio page

[@InvaderBB]

I think the heart is supposed to be a reference for the shirt design so the artist know how it’s drawn.

[@tri_iris6890]

I think moving it closer to the character turnaround makes it more sense.

Yeah but you can clearly see it in the turn around, so there's not really need for it

[@cooljulep]

Your criticism is low-key helpful. Idk why on every vid there is just a MOB of people that hate on it 😭

[@sploompdoomper]

I think it might be the tone of voice and posturing? Not that that's really her fault but I think without context of knowing her normal behavior/tone it could be seen as passive aggressive or smth to that nature.

[@denizium.]

@sploompdoomper oh idk, english isn't my 1st language, so I have a hard time telling tonal differences in it 🫡

[@somehorse]

@@sploompdoomper She's just honest. I understand that some people may not be used to receiving constructive criticism, or they're used to the compliment sandwich, but if you begin creative work in any industry, you'll need to learn to thrive with it. Managers and editors have little time, so they'll give you what's needed to move onto the next stage, which is usually just constructive criticisms, i.e. "This could be improved if you did X because X." These critiques will help you learn, understand and - if you learn to not take it personally - grow. Once done, then it's time for celebration. What you don't want is someone patting you on the back all the time. This leaves you with nothing to improve on and no way to grow. These people either don't truly care about your work, or they're not knowledgeable enough to provide healthy and accurate feedback. Neither are going to be good mentors to you. You also don't want someone who only gives destructive criticism, i.e. "I hate this." Without providing any explanations or means to improve, these people will not help you progress in your career. You're dealing with someone who has ego problems, and this is really not worth your time and health.

It's a great educational video, just many people have different opinions and that's okay.

[@creepyg.g.8585]

It's very informative but i do disagree with removing the heart. It helps other artists to understand what the heart looks like since it's being moved around and changed to have it be static is helpful . Great video.

[@chuketsu1458]

These shorts are actually a part of her long form videos but I do agree it gets frustrating seeing others not understand 😅

[@glam4663]

This is just my 2 cents, but it's not really a turnaround if it only shows front, 45° and side profile. It should at least show a back view as well.

It says "Character Sheet". This is pretty standard for character references.

[@DJ-oy2oq]

If you actually watch the video she is critiquing a portfolio this character sheet is in the portfolio. When people are looking at your work the less words on the page the better. They want to see your work not read.

[@fionna_cool_girl]

Disagree with everything except the last point. It seems pretty important to have that information in the corner and how an outfit is supposed to look in the same pose so it's easier to stay consistent

[@hagaiitz]

I actually think Jackie has a good point there. When you show the same character in different clothes, you're basically showing another side to their personality. The character probably feels different in those clothes, so it probably shifts their body language.

[@cooljulep]

if you think through her reasoning, it makes perfect sense. the logo and extra information could literally be put on another page. portfolios are not made up of singular illustrations. the portfolio is supposed to showcase your skills, first and foremost. if for whatever reason the genius behind the portfolio can’t put their info in the email or somewhere else in the application, but the art is big and incredible and yada yada, the employer will ask for the juicy details of the… character’s name, and whether this is a character sheet (yeah the title “character sheet” definitely needs to be there because how else will the employer know it’s a character sheet. someone who’s probably experienced and has looked through other applications. i wonder), and don’t forget the dingy logo in the corner!! Anyway as for the clothes identical poses, this is an example of a beginner portfolio. Meaning, this character reference sheet is probably not being used nor will ever be used in actual animation. the illustration(s) just has to show enough range and skill, not to make a perfect and functional character reference that will never be used. anyone with an art program can duplicate a pose and draw different clothes on it, that doesn’t show range.

[@egg62]

In an actual production, that information would be in a separate turnaround. Since this is for a portfolio, it should be optimised to show your skills as much as possible. She's right in saying it would be a good opportunity to show you can pose the character.

[@Ezzylryb]

Sure, that's what YOU think, but she's giving input on what you can show in a portfolio that is accepted by companies. Duh

So far I've only seen respectful people respectfully Disagreeing with (almost) Everything she has been saying in videos, and not trying to spread misinformation or being ignorant (mostly, I admit there are exceptions). If anything, people are critizing HER way of criticizing, and that should be equally as okay.

It's wild because it's not even their art being critiqued in the first place and the artists are sending their work in to be critiqued. She's not being mean or too blunt, this is literally what critiques are like in a college class for the most part.

[@sploompdoomper]

The only part i dont really understand is the tshirt design being removed, i get this is for a portfolio so shes critiquing based on that but i dont understand the reasoning

[@rondolavino7778]

I think it’s because since it’s a portfolio, they just want to see first how you’re able to draw characters in different angles. That’s what I believe is the reason, I can’t watch the video with volume right now to fully get it.

There is still inconsistency within the character though.. The smaller ones have the hand at a more reasonable proportion, but on the turnaround, her hand is massive.
