Getting into calarts will instantly get you a job making any cartoon you want. You can do it buddy.

Don't be that guy that takes a shit on a canfass but gets a fantastic grae because you manage to bullshit that it actually has meaning. Try to improve your skills there, not really your idealogy too much, if that makes sense.

>>94162996
Im going to anyways. Im bot wasting my life being a shitposter, im gonna make stupid kids cartoons and sneak in satanic imagery for lulz, and then ill shitpost about it on here like justin roiland does.

Find a better career instead of ruining animation even more.

>>94163045

I hope you never make it.

what is your actual fucking problem

>>94163103

Please put hot chicks in your cartoons.

Learn to draw that one face and noodle arms. You know the one.

Also you should know it's mostly a party school for rich kids. You probably won't get an animation job anyway, so just fuck around and have a good time. Unless you want to slave away so you can do grunt work for peanuts on some shitty show.

And if against all odds you do make it big somehow, make sure you fucking stop posting on /co/ unless you want to jeopardize everything.

>>94163031
This, despite everyone being a little bitch about the calarts boogy man, it's the perfect place for networking which is what you want

You guys do know Dexter Laboratory and PPG creators were from cal-arts, right? I think you should go, anon.

If you don't have any artwork studied from life don't even bother entering your portfolio.

Also getting in is extremely hard. If you get it awesome. If not then don't beat yourself up over it

>>94163314
Any suggestions on what to have? Should I learn from youtube?

Not everyone that goes to Calarts wants to get into tv animation, let alone animation for kids.
Some of them actually go on to do animation projects for video game companies or just become storyboarders for movies.

I'd recommend drawing some stuff using a tablet, cleaning it up some, and if that looks decent submit that instead. These look more like doodles than semi-pro art.

That said, I really like the designs, and if you can make them look more clean appealing I think they'll stand out pretty well.

If you're going to show them that at least clean it up first or do something with them.

Get some good pens/markers to give it a better outline or do a better job on your lineart.
Try to refine your style and experiment a little.
I'm sorry anon but your drawings are shit, and if if you can't do a little more to show some effort like coloring it in (I recommend some hatching) then why even bother trying to get into Calarts.
Your style could be cool if you actually try to draw with some sort of basic human anatomy because they look like humanoid aliens.

study art and anatomy. You need a basis to build on and you don't really have one.
You can't stylize or abstract shit well if you don't understand which elements are important and which aren't. This stuff is very deceptive in how complex it can actually be.

>>94163412
What the fuck? Did you just wake up this morning and decide you wanted to be an animator? Dude, you have to at least kind of know how to draw. Jesus.

I like your doodles, they're fairly imaginative. But that alone won't be enough.
invest in art supplies, observe artists drawing shit and see how they do it. There isn't necessarily a single right way to learn this stuff, you have to find what works for you. But you do have to understand these principles.
There's tons of resources for this kind of thing online.

Listen fucktard.

Human anatomy has fuckall to do with cartooning. You don't need to study it all whatsoever and it has nothing to do with building a portfolio.

You obviously have no idea what the fuck you are talking about and im not going to just sit by and let you give bad advice to someone equally as clueless as you are. You probably draw worse than OP does, or just some idiot that is trying to give advice on a subject he knows nothing about

OP if you are still here, don't waste your time crunching anatomy books if all you want to draw is cartoons. I have never met ANYONE that has actually done that and they all draw what they liked and were good at it.

Guys, do i have what it takes to get into CalArts? I'm going for that cartoony look, so I didn't practice my anatomy much, but I think it turned out alright. I want to become a professional cartoonist and make millions while crafting a unique and engaging show for children and adults alike.

Being passive aggressive doesn't make you right. If anything, it proves you're in no position to be giving anyone advice. If anything you should be taking your own. Can you even name half the muscles of the human body? You probably can't even draw them let alone name them. Your probably some retard from /ic/ that just parrots material he hears about without actually studying any of it himself.

But you can keep embarrassing yourself

>>94166061
I bet you don't even draw because I have literally never heard an artist spout out suck idiotic thinking in my entire life. Seriously, make a thread about this on /ic/ and not a single person will agree with you.

>>94166316
/ic/ is literally full of kids just learning how to draw and idiots like >>94166140 that try to give people advice on subjects they are totally ignorant on.

>>94166348
so how do I, a beginner, learn how to pose characters from my imagination, what route do I take?

>>94166348
Which is what you are doing.

>>94166502
uh huh thats nice, you can go now
>>94166473
Most people think the key to getting better at drawing something from imagination is to just grind it over and over but this is outdated and severely inefficient method, and will just wind up wasting time .

There is a certain "science" behind drawing that you need to understand if you want to improve. I put science in quotations because its not something that has yet be supported with quantifiable evidence, however it is toted among actual concept artists. Not underage know it alls on /co/.

For example, lets say you want to draw animals. What is your plan of action? Practice drawing one animal for like a week over and over again and then repeating the process again for a new animal?
I fucking hope not, because you are wasting your time and are on the path to burn out.

Animals, like everything, can be broken down into basic shapes. The more efficient method to drawing would be to understanding how to recreate these shapes in both your mind and on your canvas by adding the necessary details with your passive memory. Understanding how your passive memory and active memory work alongside your drawing sessions is crucial for when you are building your "visual library" that you subconsciously use when drawing from imagination.

>>94165523
He's asking for advice to get in. You definitely need anatomy drawing because it's in the freaking application requirements.

>>94166739
Have you not seen any of the porfolio's that have been approve by Calarts.
Not to mention some of the more notorious ones like Pendleton Ward or JG Quental...?
They do not care about anatomy drawing skills. Its nice to have sure, but its totally unnecessary.

>>94166804
It's still required on the application even if it isn't important. Most programs will void your application if you follow their instructions.

As a person that went to an art school, I agree, you do gotta use basic shapes to learn to draw.

And you've also gotta learn anatomy.

From what I've heard many times, art schools only care about how unique you are, and nobody has any understanding of anatomy. I'm not sure what art schools are even for.
