Ok so I thought I should make a thread with my current portfolio~
So I'm an 18 year old high school senior and I'm currently applying to a bunch of art schools in hopes of stacking up the debt and being a starving artist for the rest of my life! Applying to SVA, VCU, MICA, Ringling, CCAD, SCAD, CIA, and Purchase. Hopefully I get a few scholarships...

Great stuff
go to ringling and live 15 minutes away from me.
and guess what! we won't hang out.
heh, my ex and couple friends go to scad as well.
btw nice art.
If you wind up going to SCAD in Savannah then we should chill sometime!
I love your work by the way. You've got a great style going.
Where I go completely depends upon what scholarships I get haha. I doubt I'll get any good scholarships in my top choices like SVA or MICA though :c
Holy shit man, you're really good.
I really like your colours. Realistic and colorful at the same time. Keep it up.
man im jeleous that you live in NY, city scene is pretty boring over here in AZ
Your stuff is genuinely the best acrylic work I've seen. So many people either get really gross, muddy, flat tones or just paint sunsets or blue-sky scenery with really boring colour choices and no texture. Your stuff just feels much more expressive and imaginative

tldr keep it up g
I'm sure you'll get an offer from SVA- my friend currently goes there and her portfolio was pretty similar.
you are a good drawer
i hope you succeed in drawing things at the college level
I'm, uh, not an artist. However, people seem to think I am for some reason. Anyway, I really like this stuff, man.
If this is really what you want to do, and it's fairly obvious that it is, then don't ever give up on yourself. You're too good for that.
Hey I think you have an awesome chance! I had horrible grades and my portfolio was nowhere near as good as this and I got a scholarship at both Pratt Institute and School of Visual Arts! Good luck!
holy fucking shit, amazing.
Thanks everyone, you're all beautiful.
Pretty cool and classy stuff. :)
I updated it quickly with some new layout for the sketches and observation and digital stuff cause I had 3 more applications due today. Also 2 new watercolors.

Haven't got information from all my school about money, but I got into all the schools I applied to and currently got 60k to SVA, 50k to CCAD, and 30k to SCAD, so SVA is still my main choice.

Oh my god those trashbags and tree.
Beautiful work! What major are you applying to at SVA? I'm a freshman in computer art here if you have any questions.
I'm going for Illustration. I won the Silas H. Rhodes scholarship (60k) btw, so I'm super excited about SVA now. I might be able to bring the yearly tuition cost down to 5-10k which is amazing for an art school.
I also got 50k to CCAD, 35k to SCAD, and 88k to CIA. Still waiting on MICA I think

Freakin' love this one. Good stuff!
Loved your style! Good luck on your journey~
Come to SJSU we're better than Ringling (unless you want to be a modeler)

I got 20K to SCAD. Still probably going to go there though. I wish that I had spent as much time on my portfolio as you did. I wish you luck.

What other schools did you hear back from? I haven't heard a lot of good things about scad.
I love how you're not afraid of using all those different colours, like the first one where you have mixed blue into the green.
I wish you good luck on your path!

I didn't apply. I didn't apply anywhere else because I didn't think that I could afford it. Seeing the numbers you've gotten, I suppose I should have.
SCAD is in-state for me, so I've visited the place. It seems like a pretty good school- successful alumni and such. I hope I like it.
Fantastic stuff, especially love the wooded house.
