does anyone know how it is trying to get a scholarship to grad school with a really good portfolio but mediocre gpa overall? i'm getting my undergrad from a shitty state art school here, but i'm decent. i also intend to get much better by the time i get a real portfolio together, after enough life drawing classes. pic is a quick sketch to give you an idea (it's reffed sry).

so anyone been through this?

Your work is about on par with the average art school graduate. Not great, but not terrible. As for grad school your GPA really shouldn't be a huge deal as long as you are a fucking incredible artist, which you need to work a bit harder on. Branch out, really push yourself, you have some potential but not much. Anyone can work hard and become a great artist so all is not lost! You can also stop being lazy and start getting A's in your classes, can't hurt.

thanks for the honesty. honestly i've never had anybody tell me i have some potential "but not much" and that i'm average. i assumed i must be average compared to actual art school students, but my school and most of them in america are full of bs and failures. anyway, i take that as motivation

did i mention i'm not a graduate, i haven't even started taking classes yet? i just decided to switch my major to visual arts... i have 2 years to push myself to be great like you say i have to do

If you haven't actually been to art school yet, your stuff looks pretty good. Maybe even really good. You have lots of potential, keep it up.

I think it might depend on what you consider to be a "mediocre" GPA. That can mean a lot of different things depending on who it comes from.

Your portfolio is what will or won't get you into art school though. Just make sure that's strong and show it to everyone (who knows what they're talking about) and ask their opinion. The overall level of your portfolio will generally be judged by the crappiest piece you have in there. As well as further judging if you have a really small portfolio and or no variety.

It's hard to say based off of just what you have here because they look like sketches. But I'll say this: if these are invented drawings you're going to have a very easy time getting into art school. If you can pull this level of of anatomy/composition/lighting/pose out of nowhere then this'll be a cakewalk.

If these are from photos (etc) that's not a death sentence by any means. It only means that in order to get in you're going to have to fight for it and prove yourself. Ok, lol i just read the last line of your first post there. Don't apologize to anon for using reference, because if /ic/ USED reference we'd be all the stronger for it.

Your style is intriguing to say the least. Your stuff won't look like every other goddamn portfolio they look at and that's very helpful. How are your color/painting skills?

painting skills haven't improved much since i got out of highschool, but i can fix that. i haven't much problem doing art for hours a day except for the burden that is my current liberal arts classes. fortunately i'm switching majors next semester and exclusively taking art classes.

and by mediocre gpa i mean about a 2.8 currently but hopefully As in my art classes the next two years will bring it to 3.5ish.

the stuff from my head has lines, anatomy and composition comparable to the reffed stuff, but not such precise foreshortening as in the second sketch, and my imaginary shading definitely needs work. i don't have much imaginary stuff scanned, but here's a silly page from my smaller sketchbook that i take to my non-art classes and draw in anyway. i can do better from my head if i take more time, but not on shading. if i spend too long shading from my head i get so confused :/
