Talking Through My ACCEPTED Calarts Sketchbooks // PART 1

If it’s a calarts sketchbook she probably preplanned the pages in order to ensure she would get accepted/show her best art etc

[@LiobaBrueckner]

[@yofu2969]

Once you’re forced to present a sketchbook weekly you sorta learn since you get points taken off if it’s not neat and effort isn’t shown... kind of a plug but I started out with H O R R I B L E line art like 2 weeks ago but recently my professor teached me how to be confident in my line art and I never looked back, it’s amazing how many answers a professional artist has... it’s overwhelming. Speedpaints on my channel for reference to whatever the f*ck I’m talking about. Still got allot to learn but I’m sure as hell trying! 🦆

[@ryleypalmer]

mortem that’s what a sketchbook is meant to be. A book filled with sketches and ideas, as nice as her book is it’s more just a collection of pretty pictures. Any mistakes are covered up and every page looks planned out. More of a portfolio than a sketchbook. Guarantee she has another book where all her ideas are planned and sketched out, she needs to show that as well

[@joshuaaxelio7631]

Practice

[@verdantina]

@@Georgiana216 i don't agree. practice goes a long way; she could never have made something like this if she didn't put in the time. but talent is also a component here; this girl shows a level of maturity and skill in her work that most people don't achieve until adulthood. of course, that's not to discourage anyone; the average person could reach this level of skill if they put in the work -- but the biggest difference would be the timeline.

[@evabernh]

Joshua Axelio yeah you’re both right. She would have never created this wonderful piece without hard work and I didn’t wanted to imply that she didn’t have to work for it with my comment. I think that for this level of art there is more than dedication and practice needed however. She has a creative mind, the talent to interpret things in different ways and has a great feeling for colors. I admire this plus her hard work, learning so many different styles a lot!

[@juriL]

It's called years of practice :=) I hope to reach that level someday

[@oukid2633]

Its not practice its iq, people arent intrested in questioning things they think just by drawing over and over again they'll get better not how it works irl. They dont realize that professionals actually understand what they draw and study the material, so it is partially talent as it requires you to be able to gather knowdgele and be smart enough to apply. Such as learning botany, architecture, to futhur your technical skills.

[@scarlet8078]

Yes, it's 100% planned out. It's a portfolio sketchbook. Which is fine. You should want to put your best foot forward in admissions. But there's no reason that a normal sketchbook should look like this lol

[@melonowl333]

@@scarlet8078 true. The KZbinr should inform people about that though, or it might set false expectations..

[@Meppity]

Scarlet I made a list of what skills I needed to show, materials to use and what subject matter to include but only referred to it when I didn’t know what to draw/towards the end when I had a few gaps. If this is considered pre-planning then yes, it’s pre-planned! Otherwise, I just went straight into the pages without a particular idea of how they would turn out. As for informing viewers their books don’t need to look like this, I agree and I’ll do that in future.

[@samaraisnt]

@@Meppity That is definitely pre-planned. I think most people don't even fathom making a list like that and what it might include. It would be helpful to people if you shared that list! Also, most people don't know you did that, so they can feel like they could never do something like that (assuming everything came out totally freely without guidelines).

[@Mia-jl8rb]

@@samaraisnt Is it just me or does it sound kinda rude? She don't have to share or tell anything just because it could be helpful for others... There's no short cut in art, it's a steady developement of skills and the more you do by yourself the better you get. And to be honest, I thought it's common sense that you write down a few things you want in your portfolio when you try to apply at an art school so no need to adress it as an "unfair" pre-planned scetchbook :)

hey don't pressure yourself! obviously this sketchbook is thoughtfully planned out, as she wanted to showcase different styles, skills and mediums. moreover, she had to prepare it this way since it was part of her admission portfolio. sketchbooks for everyday use do not have to be like that at all. sketchbooks are thought to be messy with different ideas, concepts and sketches! and it doesn't have to be pretty or neat at all.

[@peco3806]

Congrats on getting into calarts!

[@VetNovice]

Hey, CalArts Character Animation grad here, your distorted figures and clean shapes with your color blocking is really sharp! (I started in 2009, graduated 2017) It's great to see your thought process and growth. You do some great shape break downs on the car with the negative space. I'm sure as you've studied many teachers pull around different schools of thought. Your hands and ball structures show your level of design and silhouette work with gestures. Over time when you learn different animation principles a bit at a time you can reinforce these concepts. Your peacocks are a ton of fun to look through with the shapes, feather details, and more. I like too the house drawing and reinterpretation with block shapes and colors. That will be useful for adapting to many shows or BGs in your films as you explore yourself. CalArts is a ton of fun, I hope you keep up the fun even though there's a lot of pressure involved in many directions. (It can get easily overwhelming for me to take like 10-11 classes since my 1st year was blocked out with 7-8 required classes. A lot of concepts I had to take breaks for multiple years to digest and try to make the most out of my time in school since I was quickly burning out. Some people don't depending on their work ethics / drive / balance.) I'm not entirely sure if you're just starting out either in school (it's about that time for school orientation huh?), but I might drop by campus during CalArts Game Makers meetings. I hope to keep in touch, thanks for posting up your work. You'll for sure go far with continuous study, good pacing, self forgiveness, humility, and a genuine love for life. (Oh, here's a little plug to my game I'm working on: www.breakneckemergence.com . I do the music and art with a programmer who made it in C++! I hope it gives you an idea of what I do.)

Sadly, that's how the school system works in most countries. Education is a right so it should be accesible to everyone regardless of their skills. That's the whole point of university, teaching. The bar shouldn't be this raised.

[@scarlet8078]

This is fascinating, but no real working artists' sketchbooks look like this. This is clearly a "sketchbook portfolio" which is super cool - as long as others aren't intimidated and discouraged by it. She's covering up pages she doesn't like, she's drawing perspective grids, going for an overall aesthetic and color palette, etc. Congrats on your admission!

[@Meppity]

Scarlet Hi thanks! I already replied to another of your comments treating as if I planned my sketchbook being fact. I actually didn’t plan it in the way you’re imagining, I was just going about it page by page!! The aesthetics and colour palette grew organically from the materials I had, subjects I drew and my underlying style. As for covering pages up, I only covered two, any other mistakes utilised post-its but as shown in the video, I’m very happy to show the errors underneath. I agree and want to be sure people understand that their sketchbooks don’t have to look a certain way at all! Sketchbooks can look however you want but that’s the same for me - I’m a “real working artist” and this is what my sketchbooks look like; please don’t dismiss that and act as if your interpretation of how I work is fact.

[@AlottaBoulchit]

Wtf is a "real working artist"? Are you implying you're a "real working artist" and because your sketchbook happens to look different you feel entitled to dampening her parade? Cause that's the vibe I'm getting from your comment.

[@vaffanculo9669]

just because you're insecure and untalented dont mean you gotta be writing all that shit sus but yikes n e ways

[@decimawallace3495]

@@AlottaBoulchit What they`re referring to is that this is what you could call a showcase sketchbook compared to a drafting sketchbook. this is about showcasing your skills and less about actually practicing. A drafting sketchbook is a lot loser and way les refined because it`s about concept development and busywork. they are not supposed to be pretty so you get to fuck around freely without the fear of ruining a book. Most artists have both. They`re only pointing this out to make sure that people understand that this isn`t the level your mindless doodles have to have. this is polished work so don`t feel bad if your casual sketchbook doesn`t look like it`s on this level.

[@AlottaBoulchit]

@@decimawallace3495 Then they should say as much with a quality comment like you did. Their comment instead comes off a bit vindictive with that "no real working artist" remark and the apparent fact they've already commented to others "calling out" the artist.

[@dekuthecat4125]

Congratulations on getting accepted to CALARTS! And welcome to California! I lived there my whole life and my family is still there. If you like roller coasters and weird people you should check out Six Flags Magic Mountain. It's only about 10 min from your school. Also Los Angeles is only 45 min maybe an hour from your school. Hollywood is fun but it's dirty and you should leave before the sun goes down. Just sayin. Enjoy your time at school. I hope you will consider posting some of your school projects.

I always have issues drawing backgrounds and buildings, have any tips?

[@corruptedteka]

Same for me ! Tips would really be useful here...

[@adrielrocha9799]

Hi, Im not Anya, but I think I can help, the only way to learn how to draw buildings, environments, concepts, landscapes, etc is redrawing them. Go to Pinterest and redraw all concept arts and landscapes that you can, if u do that, you will get the "vibe" that backgrounds have in Animation. Another useful tip is, when drawing backgrounds, think outside the box: houses dont need to be straight as a Cube, cars dont need to have wheels, I mean, play with shapes and colors! AND PLEASE, DO A LOT OBSERVATIONAL DRAWINGS, GO OUTDOORS AND DRAW ALL THE BUILDINGS YOU CAN!! good luck!!

[@emilyclayton2493]

obviously practicing is a big one lol, but for buildings, I would suggest variety (maybe try a skyscraper and then a cabin instead of just doing tons of skyscrapers and getting tired of them, for example) and definitely sketch it out with pencil first, because all those lines are hard to get right and keep straight if you just start with ink. backgrounds are super hard for me too so I won't try to help with that lol

[@tomo4977]

I definitely think learning things all about perspective, vanishing points, angles, colour theory, accuracy versus creativity (for example sometimes very slight imperfections make it much more visually appealing etc) are super useful to learn. Practising a large variety of landscapes is very useful, I found the book "perspective made easy" helped me kickstart the technical stuff, but definitely look around and keep bringing in knowledge and inspiration from around you until you feel comfortable with your final process/ vision. I also found out plenty of background artists on twitter like Steve Lowtwait post tons of useful info on how to bring a background from sketch to finish. Sorry for the novel, I'm also still new and learning about stuff like this, but I hope this helps!! ^_^

[@audreym9001]

I know that's something people love screaming at folks but using references really helps a lot. With time you kinda get a feel for the dymentions and constructions of backgrounds and will eventually most likely not need to use references anymore

Definitely makes me want to draw A LOT right now and try all these different ideas. never thought to have actually just put another piece of paper in the sketchbook and use that instead if you mess up, or a sticky note. The sketchbook as well is just beautiful all around I dont think there was one piece I didn't like??? The color scheme,s all the different values, the porportions (correct or dramatic), different styles and ideas in general, even the sticky notes and seeped through colors really just makes beautiful imo.

I never skip ads for every talented artists that I watch. They deserved it.

I finally got home from school so now I can watch this!

finally a sketchbook that doesn't mainly include drawings of people! shows drawing other 'normal' things like buildings and trees can be just as beautiful.

Congrats on getting into CalArts!! This video is soooo helpful! Thank you sooo much! I’m an art student in high school and this really guided me on what skills I might have to display while applying for college! Also I think you’re super talented and such an inspiration!❤️
